Introduction[edit]
Hello there, the name's Eric, but you can call me Robot Parade. Or don't. Known for being an avid editor, musician, and having electric brains. I go by EricIsTired (eric_is_tired) elsewhere online.
On the wiki I mostly patrol Recent Changes to see what's going on, making edits when I can. Currently I'm working on List Of Artists That Have Opened For They Might Be Giants, a big list of every single band that has opened for Them in Their history.
Bio[edit]
I discovered TMBG through my dad, who bought me and my siblings Here Comes Science after I heard The Ballad Of Davy Crockett (In Outer Space) on the Disney Channel. I fell in love with the album, and my family quickly bought their other kids albums. (I vividly remember spending hours watching the videos for each song on the Here Comes series, and on the games built into the Enhanced CD for No!). When my dad mentioned their adult albums he played me three random songs he found on YouTube (Istanbul, Particle Man, and Meet James Ensor) and I grew interested. When my family moved towns I started to listen to all of their discography and I became obsessed. I pretty much exclusively listened to TMBG in 2019 and 2020.
While my music taste has since branched out beyond the band, I'm now a attending college to be an elementary music teacher and inspire a love for music in my students the same way that TMBG inspired that love in me. I'm also a part of the band Sewage Lagoon where we play our own alternative rock songs. I'm currently on a quest to collect every TMBG CD, so we'll see how far I can get.
Other Bands[edit]
They Might Be Giants are my favorite band, but there are a few others that have my heart. This is a list of some of those bands, obviously I like more than just the bands listed here. These are just the ones that stick out to me.
