They Might be Starting
is a mash up of They Might Be Giants (Don’t Let’s Start), Will Smith (Party Starter) and Pink (Get The Party Started). It is really good. Will have to check out more of dj BC’s stuff.

Have nothing to add to this review which is ridiculously thorough with the banter. The opening act was The Last Car with Chris Anderson, Robin “Goldie” Goldwasser, and Amy Miles. They were good (they sing songs about Mr. T) they had to be – tickets were mislabeled with a Doors time of 8:00. Doors were at 9:00 (and it was cold!) and The Last Car went on at 10:00. TMBG went on at 11:00. We got out at 1:10…no Hanukkah party at Jocelyn’s for me but a great time was had by all.
Lee’at’s mom drove us to the show…Thank you Ann…We are again 15 instead of 30.

New TMBG and Nickel Creek
Hello Radio is a new collection of covers of They Might Be Giants songs featuring bands like OK Go [OK Go are opening for Snow Patrol in March.] and The Wrens, Frank Black and Jason Trachtenberg [will be seeing him perform with his family in December.] – so good – lots of alterna-mellow rocking covers. Does not feature the cover of Kiss Me, Son of God by Israeli band Pollyanna Frank on their rarities CD Nadir in Hebrew נדירים [a play on words since in hebrew Nadirim is rarities, in English nadir is the lowest point.]
Mellow and good is also the new Nickel Creek best of CD/DVD. A continuation of my newfound Chris Thile fandom. Plus his bandmate’s voice is a bit Duncan Sheik-like – yippy.
Whistling in the Dark Lyrics
A woman came up to me and said
“I’d like to poison your mind
With wrong ideas that appeal to you
Though I am not unkind”
She looked at me, I looked at something
Written across her scalp
And these are the words that it faintly said
As I tried to call for help:
There’s only one thing that I know how to do well
And I’ve often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And that’s be you,
Be what you’re like,
Be like yourself,
And so I’m having a wonderful time
But I’d rather be whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
There’s only one thing that I like
And that is whistling in the dark
A man came up to me and said
“I’d like to change your mind
By hitting it with a rock,” he said,
“Though I am not unkind.”
We laughed at his little joke
And then I happily walked away
And hit my head on the wall of the jail
Where the two of us live today.
There’s only one thing that I know how to do well
And I’ve often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And that’s be you,
Be what you’re like,
Be like yourself,
And so I’m having a wonderful time
But I’d rather be whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
There’s only one thing that I like
And that is whistling in the dark
There’s only one thing that I know how to do well
And I’ve often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And that’s be you,
Be what you’re like,
Be like yourself,
And so I’m having a wonderful time
But I’d rather be whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling, whistling
Whistling in the dark
