Bo Orloff
Bo Orloff was executive vice president of The Hornblow Group USA, They Might Be Giants' management, from the summer of 1989 until the spring of 1993.
In his capacity as TMBG's "assistant manager" he performed a wide variety of duties for the band, including managing logistics for their tours, editing their fan newsletter, the TMBG Information Bulletin, and providing tech support for Dial-A-Song. Orloff was also responsible for the five Apollo 18-era online bulletins, and was an active participant in the early days of alt.music.tmbg. Shortly after leaving Hornblow, he set up the very first TMBG website in early 1994, which was one of the first websites devoted to a rock band.
Orloff later compiled the statistics in the liner notes of the 2005 compilation CD A User's Guide To They Might Be Giants, with the help of fans on alt.music.tmbg.[1]
In a TMBG Info Club letter titled "An airplane is a bus with wings", John Linnell reported that "Bo Orloff, with his cybernetic vision, once described planes as "extremely slow matter transporters" (you get into position, vibrate for a few hours, and, voila! you've changed locations)."
