2019 TMBPTMBG Playlist
Hey everybody! Here’s the hour-by-hour playlist for They Might Be Playing They Might Be Giants 2019! Pretty soon we’ll be posting the full audio of KMSU’s 12-hour TMBG party, as well as individual audio files of the interviews with John Linnell and John Flansburgh.
Please note that a bunch of songs were requested by multiple people from all over the world, even if only one person is listed. Also, there are a few songs that were played more than once — some by mistake, some on purpose. We’ll never tell which is which. ;)
Thanks for typing all this up, Shelley!
