Noise du Jour: “Ana Ng” by They Might Be Giants
Posted by Eliza Gauger
The surreality of a cross-continental missed connection, performed in distressingly autistic mime by the Prime Ministers of nerd rock. I see an allegory for internet romance here, and also a plaintive description of the alienation felt by the type of person I imagine Flansberg and Linnell to be. That is, my type of person.

I love they might be giants, this is the 2nd time in 24 hours I’ve been reminded i should be listening to them again after so long. Last night was watching “Pushing Daisies”, was awesome, hope it doesn’t get killed by the strike.

I’ve seen TMBG a few times in concert, including the one that was filmed for their documentary GIGANTIC. They are one of the most fun musical experiences not involving anything other than people and their instruments you can hope to find.
