Hi everybody-Flansburgh here.
I had the idea to create a MoveOn.Org benefit
album, and through the help of Barsuk in Seattle,
it's all coming together. Dave Eggers and Spike
Jonze joined in to our steering committee and the
lineup is pretty amazing (and will be announced
shortly). The release date is July 6 and should be
available on all formats then. We're contributing
a minor-key version of the song "Tippecanoe and
Tyler Too,"a campaign song from 1840 (and
quite a catchy number I should add).

To find out why-go to <A HREF="http://www.MoveOn.Org">MoveOn.Org</A>.

Our upcoming album "The Spine", and its companion
EP "The Spine Surfs Alone" are complete and will
also be available in July on our new downloading site.
We plan on rolling out the site itself in about a
month. "The Spine" will also be out as a traditional
physical CD with a charmingly outmoded but beautiful
package from the fine Idlewild/Rounder/Universal
imprint.

The amazing package of the "Gigantic" DVD and the
IO EP along with a nifty and stylishly austere t-shirt
awaits you-in stock and ready to ship, at this link:

It won't be there forever, so get your order in now!

BIG NYC SHOWS
JUNE 4 TMBG AT SOUTHPAW, BROOKLYN
John and I are taking part in a special benefit show
for the Valencia 826 (a unique drop-in tutoring center
to be created in Brooklyn by the McSweeney's magazine
crew, modeled on their successful effort in San Francisco).
The event will be at Southpaw in Park Slope-Sarah Vowell
is hosting, and fine musical and comedic guests are
guaranteed. Tickets go on sale this week, and they won't
last for very long.

TICKETS ARE NOT ON SALE YET.
Don't bug them! Monitor this site and you'll be fine!

JULY 30 TMBG AT CELEBRATE BROOKLYN
This is the big show, everybody. It's "The Spine" CD
release show, and we want everybody out for this
special nighttime event. It is free, although they ask
for a voluntary contribution to keep their fine project
afloat. TMBG has done this event a couple of times
before, and this is always a very special evening.
