They Might Be Giants - The Statue Got Me High

I read TMBG have a new EP coming out (appears to be digital) with a new album later this year. I bought their 1st releases on CD back in the day and then slowly didn't pay attention to them. I recently picked up a few of their 45s including this one and the xmas 45 I posted and I watched the documentary on them. It rekindled my love for them. This song is quite brilliant and has the killer hooks that TMBG are known for. Seems to recorded low for some reason.

The update continues with adding soundz to Brian Wilson Love and Mercy

They Might Be Giants - O Tannenbaum / Christmas Cards

Day 8 of Christmas posts. I had a copy of this years ago and it was crazy cracked. This was a recent pick up.

I received an early Christmas present yesterday. I saw a post for 1300 45s for $100. The picture didn't show anything you could make out other than a promo Reprise and promo Fontana label 45. I reached out Thursday to meet the person on Saturday morning. He was an hour away. We met and he had them in storage for over 30 years..he has a jukebox but decided to get rid of ones he does not listen to. He told me if I was not interested that was fine as a few other people had reached out to him. I opened the first box and in that handful were some promo rockabilly 45s and gospel on the peacock label. No need to look further, I happily handed him the $100. Once I went home I pulled out over 200 to clean and listen to...some garage and soul I am not familiar with. There were quite a few broken ones I tossed and some in extremely poor condition. It must have been providence that I pulled the ones I did as if I would have pulled the others I might have turned it down and I would have missed out on a great deal
