“Ana W. interviews John F. of TMBG on February 18, 2013. We discuss classic rock, fun., making music videos, and other subjects (but somehow mostly forget to talk about the new album).”

They Might Be Giants Icky Video
13 Mar 2013
“Icky” is the brand-spanking-new video from They Might Be Giants brand-spanking-new album Nanobots.
Directed by David Cowles and Jeremy Galante the Gilliam-esque animation clocks in at small-but-perfectly-formed 2 and half minutes.
Widely hailed as a return to form, Rolling Stone described Nanobots as “sounds like old-school, duo-style TMBG (catchy pop heroics mixed with jingle-length songlets) made by a full band” and “plenty of meaty hooks and memorable melodies“.
They Might Be Giants Nanobots is out now on CD, iTunes, Spotify and all good digital stores.

The Dinner Party Download is a smart, funny public radio show about everything excellent in culture, from the company that brings you “Marketplace.” Think NPR meets Vanity Fair. In each episode, hosts Rico Gagliano & Brendan Francis Newnam talk with some of the world’s most interesting celebrities, and along the way equip you with bad jokes, fresh drink recipes, hot food finds, odd news items…
Grammy-winning duo They Might Be Giants (John Flansburgh and John Linnell) have been churning out catchy, smart tunes since 1986 – for both adults and on several albums for kids. Their 16th album “Nanobots” (out this week) features a whopping 25 songs in just 45 minutes. To celebrate the less-is-more idea, they suggest a few other tiny gems.
