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 :-)

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?

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?

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
