"Richards on Richards" This song was written and performed at the Vancouver rock club Richards on Richards and is a great example of the forthcoming venue song project. (TMBG has been writing original songs for most of the venues on this tour) THESE SONGS WILL BE COMPILED BOTH ON CD AND AS A SPECIAL DOWNLOAD BUNDLE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. Stay tuned to theymightbegiants.com for updates on the "Best Of The Spine

A note from Flansburgh --
"As we all escape the NYC Republican
National Convention for our show at
Cornell, we are also busy packing our
bags for big UK shows. Happy to
announce the Future Soundtrack for
America compilation debuts at No. 56
on the Billboard Album chart with
25,000 copies sold. If you're
interested in this citizens' group that
the President calls 'a shadowy
organization' visit moveon.org. Should
you simply want to get the album, you
may do so here:

See you at the show!"
