| + | |
| − | ==Greetings==
| + | |
| − | Hello! I am HotelDetectiveInTheFuture, but you can call me Oz. Happy {{CURRENTDAYNAME}}. How's it going? I am a guy who's just a little too obsessed with TMBG but has sadly NEVER seen them in concert. I am slowly building my collection of TMBG memorabilia. I like to make taglines among other things, here is a [[User:HotelDetectiveInTheFuture/Taglines|list of all the taglines I've made.]]
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Apparently I have spent more than 7,320 minutes of my life listening to They Might Be Giants, and that's just their adult music!
| + | As you all know, They Might Be Giants' new album [[User:HotelDetectiveInTheFuture/Living Clothespins|Living Clothespins]] was released this morning to critical acclaim! But the evil government (aka the wiki admins) have disregarded it as a simple April Fools' joke, which it certainly is not. |
| | | | |
| − | ==My TMBG fandom story==
| + | The page for the album was moved to my user page. But why? My conspiracy is that the admins want this masterpiece of an album to themselves, and they don't want anyone else to experience the magic of ''Living Clothespins''. They want this because if the album was heard by the general public of wiki users, it could cause anarchy. But that's no reason to hold back a beloved album. WE WANT OUR ALBUM, DAMN IT! I WILL NOT COMPLY WITH YOUR LAWS (wiki terms of service). |
| − | ===Part One===
| + | |
| − | When I was a wee young'un (about 3 or 4), my parents played me the [[Here Come The 123s]] DVD, and I absolutely fell in love with the songs, music videos, and of course, the [[The Puppet Johns|Puppet Johns]]. They also played me [[Here Comes Science]] but admittedly I wasn't as in love with THAT album as much as the 123s album (I like Science more now.) So yeah, those were my two favourite albums for a very long time.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ===Part Two===
| + | So we must fight for the right to know about ''Living Clothespins''. For knowledge is the most important thing on the planet! FIGHT FOR LIVING CLOTHESPINS! |
| − | Cut to 2019, I had mainly forgotten about They Might Be Giants and Here Come the 123s etc, that is until I heard [[Crystal Fortress]]. You see, in the summer of 2019, I was on a huge Homestar Runner phase, and I stumbled upon [[Crystal Fortress]]. Then I was like: "Oh yeah, They Might Be Giants, I forgot about them!" That led me into a TMBG rabbit hole. I didn't know where to start with TMBG, but then I found this random TMBG Top 20 Songs list, and I checked out those songs. The list had a healthy mix of TMBG classics like Don't Let's Start, Ana Ng, Birdhouse In Your Soul, and also some obscure deep cuts like Mr. Klaw, Cowtown, and I'm All You Can Think About.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | ===Part Three===
| + | |
| − | Then, in 2021, I went into an even deeper dive to prepare for [[BOOK]] and listened to every single album. And as a result They Might Be Giants became my new favourite band.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==[[John Henry]] is All About the Same Death, But in Alternate Realities Tour==
| + | I will do my best to find more information on this album. And you should too. Good luck. |
