A very early performance from TMBG, back when Letterman was still on NBC. February 1989 performing They'll Need a Crane

I love their old TV performances. Especially the Conan appearances. If there's an audience for it I'll post the best (video/audio) quality ones I can find, from time to time.

What is your favorite TMBG album, and why is it Apollo 18 on repeat shuffle? (lemmy.world)

Some of my favorites:

Snapping Turtles (Bangs Demo) - I like the lyrics better than album.
Man It's So Loud in Here (Demo 1) - I prefer this arrangement over album.
Half a Boy - I'm a little mad this one was never on an album. It deserved a spot in Misc T or Then at least.
We Just Go Nuts at Christmastime - Pleasantly depressing.

Hot Take: Long Tall Weekend is an underrated album. (startrek.website)

I feel like it is often called one of the band's worst albums despite it having a lot of good songs: Certain People I Could Name, Reprehensible, and Counterfeit Faker.
