Ya know, the sun really IS a mass of incandescent gas.

I used to have 2 or 3 of theirs on CD, till they got ganked (along with about 3/4 of my music collection and my acoustic guitar, bastards). Good stuff, though I sort of have to be in a certain mood to listen to more than a couple songs.

Peace

In our theatres and bookstore shelves
Those who would know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves

I'm a massive Common Ro fan but have yet to hear much TMBG. I love Common Rotation's cover of Don't let's start. For people who don't know, their albumn was produced my TMBG, and Common Ro have toured with them.

"...everybody wants prosthetic foreheads on their real heads"
Some how I've always gotten a mental image of everyone wanting to have a bumpy Klingon forehead when I hear this song. ???
Just an odd thing about me I guess.

I'm a fan. :) My favorite albums are Lincoln and John Henry. (Mink Car is my least favorite, haven't even bothered to buy it).

TMBG is great. Anyone else like my *favorite* band, Oingo Boingo? ;)

Lol, me too. Turns out they're actually alluding to hats (the rock is a yo-yo). Basically, the stupidity of passing fads. :) But I got the same image, and continue to think of that because I think it's funny.
