After a long hiatus, we've now received three They Might Be Giants podcasts in under a month.
Take it easy, guys! You're going to kill my iPod.
I guess you're supposed to toss old podcasts when new ones show up, and if I was downloading some kind of topical talk show, I suppose I would. But the Giants' stuff is like getting a complete special EP every time, so I hate to dump them. I mean, I definitely burn these things off to a CD, but I still enjoy having them on the iPod where every other bit of music lives.
But with only an old 10gig iPod, at this rate it stands to become a dedicated TMBG player by '08.
I was happy to hear that edition 10A had a replacement DJ host, because I am alternately annoyed and ambivalent to the varipitched vocal stylings of Cecil Portesque.
And although I always worry a little when They introduce a song from some other band, They have included at least two that I absolutely love: "The Problem with America" by The Vitamen and "Summer's the Worst" by Michael Leviton.
I also regularly get single cuts from another, unofficial TMBG podcast... but it's mostly dubs of their Dunkin Donuts commercials and who the hell wants that.
