Talk:The Else/Speculation

From This Might Be A Wiki

What We Know[edit]

  • TMBG is working with The Dust Brothers.
  • TMBG is working with Pat Dillett.
  • It will be released sometime early in 2007.
  • TMBG calls it their "legendary new rock album," which brings back memory of The Spine being hailed as a "psychedelic rock masterpiece"

Definite tracks[edit]

Possible tracks[edit]

Song premieres from the Beardo 2006 Tour[edit]

Song premieres from the TMBG Podcast[edit]

  • Considered notable enough to relaunch Dial-A-Song, featured in a podcast yet not included on Podcast Highlights, played on the 2006 tour, and featured in a Paste Culture Club radio session in a piece looking ahead to the next album. It's got a pretty solid case. However, often mentioned at shows and other appearances as a "podcast exclusive" track.
  • VERY strong case. In spite of a studio version being included on Podcast Highlights, the major tour of the year was called "Beardo 2006", featured this song, and it has appeared, along with We Live In A Dump, in the Paste Culture Club radio session.

Miscellaneous premieres[edit]

  • Contrecoup - made when John Linnell was challenged by the radio show The Next Big Thing to create a song using three obscure words. It was from January 2005, and during its radio premiere, Linnell remarked "it may be some time before the song gets put in some" official form, so it is probably unlikely (though still possible) that Contrecoup will appear on the new album.
  • Homunculus - TMBG's Myspace (November 2006)
  • Sounds polished enough to make the next album, and the first song to premiere on their Myspace page.
