[edit] Fan Recaps and Comments:

Review by Mike Levy:
John & John were joined by Marty Beller for the show at Border in Philadelphia. Before the show started I asked about New Years Eve and Flansburgh said They would not be playing that night. The place was absolutely packed by the time the show started.

Why Does the Sun Shine? - Flansburgh rattled off the longest list I've ever heard of things that are a gas on the sun. It seemed like he was trying to think of every item he has ever used in the segment. The nuclear reactions were between Cochehanken, King of Prussia, Main Line and Camden.

Particle Man - We were instructed to clap along for the entire song. Linnell used the stylophone.

Cyclops Rock - Flansburgh announced that it has become an instore tradition to perform this song in the style of Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits.

Bed Bed Bed - Flansburgh explained that They would play the fast version because all the oxygen had been sucked out of the room and he was afraid the slow version would put everyone to sleep.

Robot Parade - Kid's version.

Wicked Little Critta - This is the song I got to hear twice as it was played during the sound check.

Stalk of Wheat - Played insanely fast.

Impossible - Included sampled music from Linnell's Dr. Sample as well as Marty on drums. Linnell sang the Octofish verse.

I had John & John sign the inside of my Gigantic sleeve and Flansburgh said he hadn't seen that photo there before and that They looked too "Boy Band". Before I left Flansburgh said "Oh, I have something for you" and pulled the guitar pick he had used for the show out of his pocket and handed it to me. It's transluscent with a new design; a cardinal with the letters FLANS below it in red.
