Really digging the song title "Stone Cold Coup D'état." When I see "Circular Karate Chop" for some reason all I can think of is the sequence of notes for "Sokol Auditorium." Sad about the accordion being unlikely...they'll probably load up the Podcasts with those songs. --MisterMe 16:34, 26 October 2012 (EDT)
- I don't really think the tweet sourced is really conclusive evidence as to whether there's accordion or not; Flans doesn't specifically address that. ~ veggieman 18:44, 26 October 2012 (EDT)
- linnell (and i think flans, too) has said, when directly asked, that accordion probably won't be used on future albums/etc. when linnell was answering questions on twitter someone asked and the answer was, if memory serves, a simple "nope" (granted the theme was one-word answers). i probably just didn't feel like digging up that tweet to cite. also, the whole thing where the else and join us don't have any do not exactly bode well for the accordion's future. anyway, that's why i said "unlikely". -Apollo (colloquia!) 19:23, 26 October 2012 (EDT)
- I believe what Linnell said in that tweet was something like "probably not," but IIRC the question wasn't about whether there would be ANY ACCORDION WHATSOEVER; it made it sound like if there would be the amount on old albums. I'll admit the lack on the last two is a potentially bad sign, but I REFUSE TO GIVE UP HOPE DAMMIT. --Self Called Nowhere 19:58, 26 October 2012 (EDT)
- I believe Flans and Linnell have said previously that when in comes to instrumentation they will experiment and try all different types of instruments to see if it adds anything to the mix, but the reason there has been less and less accordion on their records of late is because they don't find the accordion suits the mix. I believe Flans said in one interview or a question on the internet about whether the accordion has been put away for good and he responded with "the accordion is always with us when we're in the studio, but more often than not, it never ends up getting used" or something along those lines.--JustinBoy 21:15, 26 October 2012 (EDT)
- I love the accordion, too! Flansburgh is my favorite, but that doesn't mean Linnell isn't good! -User:Flansfan December 14, 2012 2:17 PM

Aren't all these tracks "Possible" at this point? None are likely "Confirmed", with the possible exception of "Lumberland" which sounds like too big of a production to not include on the album. --Masonstein
- yes. back in...what, 2010(?) with TMBG's Upcoming 15th Album i'd originally used the heading "possible tracks" but that got switched to "confirmed tracks" so i figured that was the right thing to do here. hard to tell what's up, but i think the list is getting too long for them all to be on there. SO YEAH, i agree. -Apollo (colloquia!) 18:34, 27 November 2012 (EST)
How kind...
...of the Giants for providing us with the name for the next useful wiki-wide editor--"NanoBot"! :-) --MisterMe 16:08, 15 December 2012 (EST)
- Yes, I thought of that too the other day! --Duke33 17:30, 15 December 2012 (EST)
Lyrics
An attempted transcription of the lyric sheets in this video:
Too Tall Girl
Too Tall Girl, the leftmost sheet. On the left margin, the title is scrawled in pen.
too tall girl can (?) shh shh past the... too tall girl can (?) too past that Cro(Magnon?)... appraisal men: there's no kinda guidebook or cataly(st?)... or analog soon you'll just be playin' some tag... in a too tall fog boy: fall in love with the too tall girl whis(pering?)... megaphone fall in love with the too tall girl know... Connecticut too tall girl oh oh past the (?)... too tall girl so past the Cros(sing?)... appraisal men: to get to her a boy's got to... estimate All the (wrestling?) to clear and to... As the shooting
Usher
I'm not sure if this is a song, but I will attempt to transcribe the writing anyway. It's really messy writing.
USHER Baron M B mern DCTOON Ushered Roman center Ushered the baggage & the new gun
Great
Great is the most likely title of the sheet on the right.
Great Great Hey Dave If you have a hundred dollars I can save you two hundred dollars Clem(entine?) (?) fighting... Brace...
These lyrics are probably mostly wrong, but it will fun to laugh about it later.--Oldpinebox 21:18, 19 December 2012 (EST)
- Hahah, this is cool. Made some minor tweaks above based on going through frame by frame. So blurry! How come he's uploading 16:9 videos in 360p?! -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 22:44, 19 December 2012 (EST)
- Maybe he has an old iPhone. Should we add "Usher" as a possible track? --Oldpinebox 23:49, 19 December 2012 (EST)
USHER
BROUGHT THE RADAR DETECTION
USHERED REMOTE CONTROL
USHERED THE BLADELESS
THE NEON LIGHT
Tesla and robots... Holy [expletive]!
I noticed one of the possible songs is titled Tesla. This excites me to no end. Besides how cool this historic figure was and how neat the lyrics will be, there's the matter of the possible instrumentation. Do you think they'll use actual Tesla coils in the recording? In case you didn't know, they can be used to make music[1].
I greatly hope that “Tesla” will be better than “The Edison Museum,” since Tesla was better than Edison. --deathgecko (Evil Emperor of Lizards) 21:45, 28 December 2012 (EST)
- Yo man I don't see how thats possible b/c ``The Edison Musemu is prolly the best soang on [[[No!]]], and thats including the awesome Where Do They Make Balloons! which I read was written......by a Dan! All seriousness though Edison pretty much beats Tesla in a popularity contest, wich is B.S. since Tesla made a moon sphere and a time machine and a death ray. I beleive he also had AMAZING hair like the History Channel aliens guy. Did you see that movie where David Bowy played Tesla??? It would be AMAZING if David Bowie sang on this song... Thats just my $0.02.--WhatTheHeckLinnell 09:37, 10 January 2013 (EST)

EP Pre-order
Anyone see this? --Oddjob 18:34, 14 January 2013 (EST)
Amazon samples
30 second samples are up on amazon.de. Wout 13:22, 16 February 2013 (EST)
- so, after listening to the samples, I wish that some of the short Flans songs were longer like Destroy the Past, Decision Makers, and Nouns. Linnell is bringing it as always. Flans's longer songs sound good, too. -Nosaj56 14:45, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Bonus Disc?
For Oldpinebox, what is the source for the Bonus Disc material? I've obviously not kept up. -- CJSF 07:52, 18 February 2013 (EST)
- see also
- eta: ...you'll also notice i put an inline citation into the article. note that clicking the [31] there (number is subject to change), it'll take you to the source. this is generally the protocol for information on upcoming material. -Apollo (colloquia!)
09:2111:08, 18 February 2013 (EST)- Just to clear things up, the original source is here, and the At Large part is an assumption. —OldpineboxTalk 13:26, 18 February 2013 (EST)
- I appreciate the "clearing" - that's why I was asking, after all. Thanks to both of you! :-) --CJSF 13:31, 18 February 2013 (EST)
Advance copy and adding lyrics
I'm not sure what the policy is on adding lyrics to as yet unreleased music, but if you have an advance copy of the album, is it generally frowned upon to add lyrics to the songs before it's released, to prevent "spoilers"? --JustinBoy 09:11, 26 February 2013 (EST)
