One of my favorite moments is when JF tells about a story that happened in I believe 2004; he was stopped at a stoplight on the road, a car pulls up next to him that has a New Jersey license plate that reads “TMBG” on it. So John starts knocking on the window and tries to say hi. Turns out it’s just an old lady that hadn’t heard of They Might Be Giants before (license plate was just a coincidence) and then she screamed out of fear and stomped on the gas

The beauty of being overweight. If you have more fat in your face, then when you begin to naturally lose it (which causes the sunken, wrinkled appearance associated with age,) it's not as obvious, and you look younger.

My favorite TMBG moment has to be that whole live performance of Till My Head Falls Off where Flans holds his guitar right up the the vocal mic, walks across the set to go turn the amp way up in the middle of the song, and breaks all his guitar strings off at the end, all completely deadpan

Just saw them on Friday, and one of the highlights was Flansberg talking up this new pedal he got for his guitar where it plays like a synth. He went on for like 2 minutes about how the band would play quiet and he would play over it with the new guitar synth sound, and how his mom loved it. Then the song they played was Minimum Wage, which is like 20 seconds long and has Flans playing like 2 notes lol.
