They Might Be Giants will never stop!
Nor should they!
In a move that, considering now 20+ year span of the band's prolific career, should surprise no one - Brooklyn's They Might Be Giants have returned with a new album, The Else. Produced with the Dust Brothers, the album is yet another skewed-pop gem for the TMBG pantheon. Check out the video for the single off of The Else, "With the Dark" here:
In searching for the above video on YouTube, I also came across this footage, from the old NBC Letterman show, of TMBG performing perhaps my favorite song of theirs, "They'll Need a Crane." Watch:

(In the interest of full-disclosure, I must confess that TMBG are not only one of my favorite bands of all-time, but that I've actually seen the band live at least six times in three different states. So, you can bet that I'll be at their upcoming Memphis-show with bells, or possibly just regular clothes, on.)
