Official description
TMBW note: We are unsure if TMBG Unlimited - July's description was ever longer than this. Here is the most complete version we have been able to locate:
In celebration of our fine country's birthday and in response to some requests from you the people we flew to our climate controlled walk-in archive just outside the arctic circle and collected some of the obscure titles from our past. Yes, grab your crash helmet and earplugs- we are going back in time! Please, audiophiles, note: some of these tracks are straight off live board tapes (cassettes) or the original Dial-A-Song tapes (also cassettes) so they are ROUGH but they do not exist anywhere else. Engineer extraordinaire Pat Dillett has fiddled with all these tracks to make them more presentable, but we suggest you get high on the low fi in a comfortable chair.
Indiana Wants Me
This song was recorded with the members of the Turtlenecks: Karl Hecksher on drums, Julie Kantner on bass, Fred Hickler singing harmony. This is a cover of a relatively obscure Motown song that occasionally gets played on oldies radio.
Alienation's for the Rich
The original version of the song that would ultimately be on TMBG's first album. Dig the penny whistle solo.
Seven Eleven
This story of "breaking and buying" features John Turner on drums, and a kinda sleazy Korg synthesizer that seemed cheap but is beloved by Ebay people now.
Alternate opening description
John Flansburgh here. In response to some requests (and our insane schedule taking us back to the UK to do some spontaneous press for our July 16th show there and the looming breakout of "Boss of Me" over there) we flew to our climate controlled walk-in archive just outside the arctic circle and collected some of the obscure titles from our past. Yes, grab your crash helmet and earplugs- we are going back in time! Please, audiophiles, note: some of these tracks are straight off live board tapes (cassettes) or the original Dial-A-Song tapes (also cassettes) so they are ROUGH but they do not exist anywhere else. Engineer extraordinaire Pat Dillett has fiddled with all these tracks to make them more presentable, but we suggest you get high on the low fi in a comfortable chair.
