AND ALSO!! I MANAGED TO!!! WRITE SOMETHING!!! FOR DAY 2 TODAY!!!! It made me SO EZCITED I haven't written in AGES and it's smth for THE ROYAL POLYSHO AU it's VERY EXCUTING TO ME (even if it's further into the story HDHSHD)

I wanna try posting it now (since I also have a v low effort concept doodle for this since it was supposed to be a drawing but things happened and now it's a fic) but I was also considering like... posting it on ao3 as a work? but idk...? Like, it's further into the au and doesn't rly have context???? Would thay make sense for someone on ao3????? Help me 😭

mink car, despite having a song with the imagery of getting hit by a car, someone shooting themselves, reflecting on how life is unfair, the relentless passage of time, and the frustration of paralysis, somehow manages to arguably be they might be giants' most uplifting album.

Round 2 Side B

mr. xcitement: It sounds like ms paint

whip it: It sounds pretty weird and is about whipping your problems away - also have you seen devo - look at their hats

Everyone say sorry for how you treated mink car. Music would not have been invented without Mr Xcitement

Hi! This is (admittedly,) a (silly) question for Flansburgh! Did they ever let you out of the can as mentioned in Mr. Xcitement (the hit collab betwixt They Might Be Giants, Mike Doughty, and The Elegant Too)? Thanks for 40-ish great years, y’all rock!

JF: no.

think I found the right petpet for my fanpet on VP. I'm trying to pick music references for their treasure and book list

the description for the yellow birdhouse item is also what inspired this in the first place :)

Round 1 Side B

Mr. Xcitement: It sounds like ms paint

CULPABILITY AND THE PANOPTICON: starts with hospital-like noises and then devolves into a loud, staticky mess with choppy lyrics. doesn't ignore musical conventions so much as some other songs out there (merzbow....) but it's very fun
