From This Might Be A Wiki

TUNE IN! The Homestar puppet will be performing with TMBG at the Atlanta show! Almost all the TMBG shows from the current tour are available for download at theymightbegiants.com , along with unique content (new flash as well as best of the tour and venue songs coming!).

TURN ON! Flans talks about pageantry:

IT'S ALL HAPPENING IN THE UK! TMBG are off to the UK for a week of shows. If you have friends in Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds or London tell them they are on our way! (full ticket info at the bottom)

FREE LOVE! 3 new TMBG MP3s including the new wave instant classic "Richard on Richards" await you at tmbg.com. New songs, new passwords, no worries. Just sign in and enjoy the bounty.

PEACE! Flansburgh communicates from the mountain lab: "Psyched to hear the "Future Soundtrack for America" received four stars (!!!) from Rolling Stone magazine. The response has been very positive and big thanks from TMBG and Barsuk to all the folks for getting their advance orders in on this disc. It is now available at the beloved amazon.com, where they also sell The Spine for a maddeningly low price. Even got invited on the Bill O'Reilly show (!?!) to argue about it all, but turned it down, to keep my blood pressure down. BUT OkGo will be appearing on the Fuse channel this Wednesday, perilously close to the Republican Convention, to explain the beauty of this powerful compilation. (so tune in for that)
