Trivia/Info

  • "This story of 'breaking and buying' features John Turner on drums, and a kinda sleazy Korg synthesizer that seemed cheap but is beloved by Ebay people now." - John Flansburgh
  • In the "From The Crypt" section of TMBG Unlimited from the month of July.
  • Flansburgh explained the drums and bass in this song on Tumblr: "...A fellow named John Turner [...] just put down a beat for us to write to. The bass could be synth or electric bass, me or JL."
  • John Turner was possibly an auditioning drummer for They Might Be Giants before the band began using backing tracks for their live shows, which would roughly date this recording from late 1982 to early 1983[1].
