HI!
This week is a salute to the birthday boy of them all John Linnell.
John Linnell is one of my heroes. Together with John Flasnburg he forms the duo They Might Be Giants. Their music is genuine nerdy pop-rock that keeps surprising me in terms of intelligence and humour.
I suggest you go buy the whole back catalogue straight away or start with records like Flood, The Else or the compilation Dial a Song.
One Weekly Gun owes these guys big time. This week is a tribute to John Linnell – the guys without the glasses in the picture.

Take off your hats and bow to the man, that fit the world into a can.
Love pastry with coffee on the side, a nerdy grip on what seems right
He came through the wall
Wearing nothing at all
Only hillbilly songs with messages straight up your face
Digest on Ana Ngs strange love affair. James K. Polk’s story makes you care
about the world around. And such inspiring sounds makes you feel the nostalgia of you as a kid.
Dear John.
Did you become what you wanted?
Dear John.
You became what I need.
In terms of vocabulary he is the best, way better than all the rest.
It’s hard when you try.
Just sit down and cry.
The thing is that you don’t have a Flansburgh to pull you up again.
Dear John.
Did you become what you wanted?
Dear John.
You became what I need.
Dear John.
Did you become what you wanted?
Dear John.
You became what I need.
