Aah, They Might Be Giants. A band with a 20+ year career. A band with a huge and, surprisingly consistent output. Huge as it is tho every second track on this mix is out there incorrectly tagged as a TMBG song. Humorous as they ( some of them ) are, they have never been recorded by TMBG, someone has heard it, assumed it was label it that way, and voila. The hardest task for me seemed to be picking just 13 bona-fide Giants tracks for this mix. Apologies if your favourite didn't make it. On a different day i would've picked 13 others. Just a few things...DVDA are Trey and Matt from South Park. Track 10 is by a band of that name, they should not be confused with the Giants album of the same name. Track 6? TMBG's humour was never this cruel. Track 26 is a kids show. Does the track even sound like them? Er, no. Enjoy!
