About dTunes:
dTunes originally started as a blog in which I would showcase a new band every week. Soon, I moved on to themes. Every video was meant to be suggested by the community, the themes too. Unfortunately, my own personal tastes kept getting in the way. This time I intend to pick a community member from the Google Group that I made (send me your email if you want in) and let them post their favorite music for a week. By getting rid of the middle man (me) I intend on bringing to life my initial image of dTunes, a place where the community can enrich itself and create a better understanding on the individual members of the community by exploring their personal tastes.
(!ATTENTION: dTUNES NEEDS YOUR HELP! IF YOU'RE A PRETENTIOUS FUCKTARD WHO THINKS PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOUR CRAPPY TASTE IN MUSIC, YOU TOO CAN JOIN THE ANNULS OF dTUNES HISTORY! JOIN THE dTUNES GOOGLE GROUP FOR MORE INFO!)
Dear Destructoid,
It is my deepest regret to inform you that today is....
They Might Be Giants Day!!!
Oh man, I am so excited. You may be wondering why I've broken my form and will only be posting one artist today. That's because it's They Might Be Motherfucking Giants, that's why! This is literally my favorite band of all time, and if you can listen to what I'm going to showcase for you today and not say that you thoroughly enjoy them, we can't be friends anymore. I recommend if you're not the type of person that pays attention to lyrics that you open your ears for these fellas. They've got some brilliant stuff.
And awaaay we go!
First, an intro:
They Might Be Giants is:
John Linnell - keyboard, accordion, stylophone, vocals, all around sexy motherfucker.
John Flansburg - guitar, vocals, also quite sexy.
Dan Miller - guitar
Dan Weinkauf - Bass
Marty Beller - Drums
Now onto some rarities before I break into album stuff:
This is a cover of the Banana Splits (another one of my favorite things ever) song, I Enjoy Being A Boy:
Miniature Sidewalk Whirlwind:
Mrs. Train
Orange Peel
Renew My Subscription
Alright, now into some album stuff:
Older
Metal Detector
Thermostat
Turn Around
Withered Hope
Don't Let's Start
Man, It's So Loud In Here (live on Conan)
Experimental Film (Video by the Homestar Runner folks.)
Lastly, I'll leave you with Road Movie To Berlin.
"Were were once so close to heaven, Peter came out and gave us medals declaring us the nicest of the damed."
Well, that's my week. I wish I could go on twisting your earlobes with all sorts of psychedelic sounds, but alas, our time is through.
Oh God! Please anything but The Blackout Crew (not to be confused with shite emo rockers The Blackout).
I never really got into They Might Be Giants. Well, I think liking 'Birdhouse In Your Soul' is a given, especially if you go to any sort of indie nights, but the rest of their quirky stuff never interested me in the same way Pavement did.
Plus they did the theme tune to Malcolm in the Middle...and I can't ever forgive them for that one.
It's nice to see you're quite passionate about it but I don't like They Might Be Giants at all. But that's cool. It wouldn't be half as much fun if everybody posted the same music up here.
[i]he hates everybody on American idol or anybody with real talent. /[i]
nottrue! Jim likes whoever is behind this list and they must be quite talented to come up with a list like this....
