Hola to everyone on the mighty TMBG newsletter list. John Flansburgh here, ducking out of an Easter egg hunt to tell you all about all the stuff that is happening. First of all, the big news coming up is we are going ON TOUR ACROSS THE US. We are super-psyched that so many shows have sold out so far in advance. Of course, we would feel super-chuffed if they all sold out in advance but I can tell you a lot of them are close already, so you know what to do. Go here to see the dates and links for tickets.
 
We are also doing some fun special shows early on in the tour: in Chicago we’re recording a special cover song for the AV Club; and performing a FREE SHOW at Electric Fetus for RECORD STORE DAY in Minneapolis.
 
What else is happening?
 
The Gist #NotAMovie contest (where fans suggest a title for a TMBG song) is happening on twitter.
 
The Erase video contest — with Black Francis judging! — is ending momentarily. 
 
And I, John F., was on "Ask Me Another" as a sidekick to the host and I got to wheel out my Bruce Springsteen impression

End of the Rope
 
how thoughtless of me
how dumb can you be?
hopeless, wasn’t that
what you called me and in fact
it was even more true than you knew
where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
after you left me hanging on your words
which hung down like a rope
where did the end of it go?
I’ll never know
 
you’re gone, but I’m still there
clawing at the air
now it’s curtains for me
and I’ll spend eternity
doing joyless cartwheels in the void
where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
long ago you left me hanging on your words
which hung down like a rope from the sky
where did the end of it go?
no one can ever know
 
where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
once upon a time you left me hanging from your words
which hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky
wherever did the end of it go?
no one can ever know
