Went to see They Might Be Giants at the State Theatre last night. Damn fine show, and it made me realize that they’ve released way too much music over the years. Brandy had her wishes fulfilled by a play of “Birdhouse in Your Soul”, but I walked away empty handed, wanting desperately to hear “Don’t Let’s Start”, which remains my favorite for nostalgia and guitar pantomime reasons.

The surprise of the night was definitely when they kicked into one of their kids songs, though they definitely don’t scream “The Fucking Alphabet of Nations!!” on the CD. Even if they did, we’d probably still let Gareth listen to it. When it started, Brandy and I turned to each other and pretty much jumped up and down. I almost, almost dual-high fived her. Luckily, I reigned it in. I would have never lived that down as I am not a fan of the high five.

Oppenheimer opened for them, and I was pretty quickly hooked. The only reason I didn’t walk out with a CD is that I didn’t have any cash on me, but it is readily available at places like CD Universe (or download the album for less then $2 at legalsounds).
