The 'wacky' They Might Be Giants - who've racked up an astonishing TWO hit singles and one Top 40 album in their 20 odd years together despite the fact they're fucking brilliant - are doing a mini tour of the UK next month. And tickets are already selling like hot cakes. Really!

SEPTEMBER
5th Manchester Academy 2
6th Glasgow The Garage
8th Leeds Irish Centre
9th London Astoria

Their excellent new 10th album The Spine is out now and will be getting reviewed on DiS once the journalist in question recovers from a week's worth of hangovers. *cough*

I was standing in for Colin Irwin for a couple of days.

...and would this be how the Silver Sun news item popped up on there yesterday?

Ooh no, that wasn't directly from me. Earls probably just nicked it. :-P
It popped up in the CMU (College Music Update) newsletter too. www.cmuonline.co.uk (I used to write for them too!)

Ah, hell yes. the H*R/TMBG collaboration. A classic.

I got my ticket for the London show. This will rock in a 'happy-sounding songs backed by creepy lyrics' kinda way.
