Greetings from Flans!
"Hey everybody- Things might seem quiet this moment on the TMBG front, but we are strapping on our crash helmets for a spring full of free shows. The Lincoln Center show is sold out, but we will be performing in NYC for FREE on Feb. 15 at Borders in Columbus Circle. We are also making our way out to Los Angeles for a regular show and a special all-ages one, so you might want to IM the Blackberrys of any 3-year-olds you know in the LA area. John and I will be accompanied by Mr. Marty Beller at all these free Borders shows, and we will be performing half-hour sets, including new ABC songs as well as personal favorites from our dark, dark past. Be sure to check out the two new free Venue songs at tmbg.com, for a copy of the much beloved photos and lyrics is now included at the bottom of this message! JF"

Celebrate Brooklyn
The flag unfurls
We hear the voice
of Marty Markowitz
Now he's not frontin' the Funky Bunch
He's borough president
From the L to the J to the F to the G
Now who knows what that spells
Let's celebrate Brooklyn now
Even the Gowanus Canal
Even the Gowanus Canal
Even the Gowanus Canal
Trees
Tell the moon,
You've seen the serpent
Found the sword
And walked among the trees
Trees
Tell the moon
You've seen the serpent
Found the sword
and walked among the trees
Trip the forest
Through the branches
On the limb you fell the nest of bees
Tell the moon
You've seen the serpent
Found the sword,
And walked among the trees
