TMBG BEST SONG VIII ROUND 1 PART 6:

ALBUM: Long Tall Weekend (1999)

[teedeekay]

Today in 1999, I attended the Long Tall Weekend release party show at NYC's Irving Plaza two days before my 25th birthday 🙌

After the show ended, we received unexpected party favors in the form of an Emusic t-shirt and the coveted Long Tall Weekend CD 😲

Afterwards, I was outside the venue and somebody leaving asked if anyone wanted his VIP pass. I certainly did 😎

Happy 25th anniversary to Long Tall Weekend!

I'm gravely sorry for missing They Day, I was far too distracted by several things.

As an apology, here is an interesting performance of the song "They Got Lost".

This is a version that I like to call the middle version because...

It's faster than the slow version, but slower than the fast version.

The bridge has the same number of measures as the slow version.

This performance also comes from one of Graham Maby's last shows as a full-time bassist for They Might Be Giants (he would briefly return in '99, due to Danny Weinkauf being on paternity leave).

“The token back to Brooklyn fell between the grating, and we're just watching it sinking. The fare went up to one hundred dollars, and we can never go home again! The bill collector's drinking lighter fluid, and says he'll tell our parents! Our feet start running at a furious pace, but we can't get away.”

From the TMBG collection: My VIP/All Access laminates. No, I have never been backstage. These all came from eBay except Long Tall Weekend, which was given to me after the release party show.

The artist who created the album art for Long Tall Weekend is Michael Kupperman! He also created art for each song on the original release of the album. The art for each song on the album can be seen here

there’s something very cool and inspiring to me about the original designer for They Might Be Giants’ “Long Tall Weekend” album art going back and redesigning it for the recent rerelease.

i love seeing artists revisit old work and showing their improvement !!
