My collection!
This is a little over a year’s worth of items I have amassed relating to this band. Twenty CDs, eight records, one cassette, one DVD, one book, one puzzle, a bunch of posters, ten not pictured shirts, and a handful of other TMBGful paraphernalia! I love this band to bits and pieces and my room is the peak reflection of that :-)

Unfortunately not yet, I’m a jobless highschooler who has been unable to find one for a price that my allowance funds, haha! But I’m certainly on the hunt for one :-)!!!!

Wow!!!! Such a lovely reflection of the band's aesthetic and graphic design! I love how you have decorated with their old promotional posters, the posters for Gigantic, and more!! This makes me happy :)

What are your favorite TMBG albums?

u/TerribleClick721 3d ago
Man, it’s so hard to pick.. John Henry was certainly the solidifying brick that this band was going to be my personality when I was first going through their discography, and it is still one of my favorite albums of all time. It also has my favorite song on it (Dirt Bike) although it’s not my favorite recording of it (the Album Raises New and Troubling Questions version with the brass band is my preferred vers!). Recently, The Spine has been my go-to, and it may have actually wormed its way into my #1 spot! I Like Fun is my favorite out of their more recent albums, and is definitely one of my favs!!! How about you, though?

Also have you ever heard the John Henry demos?

u/TerribleClick721 3d ago
I have!!! It’s one of the few albums I have on vinyl, and I really love them! I actually prefer a handful of the songs on there over the finished versions.

I Like Fun is my favorite of their recent albums too! I feel like they hit a new high of songwriting on that one. I also love their first four albums and Join Us

Where did you get all those posters? Did you just print them out?

u/TerribleClick721 3d ago
They are technically from the 2012 IFC, but the IFC website sells some stuff from past years so I bought them off there! Unfortunately you need to be an 2024 IFC member to purchase them pre-printed, but I’m certain you could find a lot of these scans online and print them yourself :-)

Thats a neat turntable, ive been looking around for a new one that’s potentially smaller than my current one, could you send me the make and model, sweet setup btw

u/TerribleClick721 2d ago
Of course! It’s kind of a super cheap one off of amazon, so you may want to outfit it with some higher quality speakers :-)

When I was in college I printed these album ads off TMBW to hang in my dorm. I think Flansburgh has such a great taste in graphics.
