From theymightbegiants.com:

"The DVD side includes ten original video clips, as well as colorful narration by former literary agent John Hodgman in the role of The Deranged Millionaire. There will be bonus video material including "Damn Good Times," "Bastard Wants to Hit Me," "Experimental Film" (with Homestar Runner), "I'm All You Can Think About" and more.

On the CD side there is over an hour of music- all for the first time on CD. You will receive all the original Venue Song recordings from the 2004 tour, and a set of live recordings from that tour. The 10 studio recordings of the Venue Songs will also be featured. It also compiles a number of audio rarities from last year including "Renew My Subscription," "Love Is Eternity," "Taste The Fame" and more."

Additional bonus: The short "tune in next week" ads that play after each Venue Song on www.TMBG.com are all at the end of the DVD for viewing.

[edit] Trivia

  • This set was originally titled the Venue Songs Dual Disc, with only one disc featuring the DVD on one side and the CD on the other. Due to space constraints, this idea was abandoned.
  • Copies of the DVD/CD set whose case was autographed by the entire band (Marty Beller, Danny Weinkauf, Dan Miller, John Flansburgh, and John Linnell) were available for sale during and after shows on the Beardo 2006 tour for $20 each.
  • The iTunes version is just the CD, which is perfectly sensible as the set was originally intended more as a CD with a bonus DVD, rather than the other way around.
