John Linnell: Do you wanna share that with the rest of the band? John Flansburgh: I think I can answer his question without spoiling anything. Um, uh, yes, but not if it's a different song. JL: OK. JF: Which has nothing to do with— You know, there's like some smart aleck guys who think they know what's going on but you guys have no idea what's going on. I promise you. Whatever you think is gonna happen— JL: Quit smiling. JF: He's referring to what's going to happen to the next song on the setlist, while John is talking about something that's just gonna crash and burn. JL: That's right. Which— both of which are gonna be great, I just wanna say. So here— here's my suggestion. JF: This is a part of the show that we uh, usually just do during soundcheck, which is why our soundchecks are like two hours long. Yeah, you got people saying "No" already in the audience. They're not requesting this song, Linnell. OK— JL: You got a better idea? JF: I got no ideas. Av A Av-a Av-a, Av-a-lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! JL: Thank you very much. JF: Mister John Linnell, ladies and gentlemen! JL: You know, some of them are over two minutes long and I feel like we're going down the wrong road, people... with the venue song. JF: We were thinking of Linnell's campaign slogan for 2008. And uh, we were thinking: 'John Linnell: "Givin' a shit."' JL: But my other campaign song... or slogan: "We're going down the wrong road, people." I think that's the ???. JF: So OK, so what's— what's the uh, so let's get back to the regular stuff. |
