[edit] about me

here on the wiki my specialty is images, most of which are things i have scanned and cleaned up at rather high resolution. i also like doing discographical detective work, and if you have any questions about different releases (or any questions at all) i'd be happy to answer them. you can view many scans and photos of various tmbg stuff that i've done (inc. custom cover art, wallpapers, and other stuff) here. please drop me a line for any suggestions, requests, or comments! i am usually around on irc, aim, and gtalk, and of course you can leave something on my talk page.

Some random stuff i've discovered about TMBG:

Birdhouse In Your Soul and Ana Ng, are, as far as i know, the only songs that actually sound like a song when they're played backwards. It's funny, you can tell that it's the Johns right away; They have such a distinctive sound. gN anA is even lyrical.

the lyrics "make a little birdhouse in your soul", backwards equal something that sounds eeirly like "serene slacker bullet licking". here's a sample to hopefully prove that i am not completely insane: File:Birdhouseendbackwards.mp3

here's an mp3 of the middle of the Which Describes How You're Feeling demo, backwards. just listen. File:Which-bridge-backwards.mp3

Back in my freshman year of high school I made a video for Which Describes How You're Feeling, viewable on the fan videos page, or alternatively, here. Sadly, I never got around to finishing it, but the result isn't terrible.


it twas a fabulous show. pity they messed up the recording.	probably the best show i could have hoped for on that tour

[edit] thanks

there are a number of people who are made of win, and who have, in some way or another, significantly contributed to the formation of my tmbg appreciation, experience, and knowledge. the following is a list of those people that i'd like to thank. if you are one of these people, but aren't listed, that is due to my rather scattered brain, and not any disregard.
