I'm one of the few people I know who loves TMBG (they might be giants).
Seeing a free TMBG concert in Brooklyn a week from tonight. Hells yeah.
As for my own music tastes... TMBG makes the list, along with:
Elvis Costello
Johnny Cash
David Bowie
REM
Velvet Underground
The Clash
The Pogues
Talking Heads
Beck
Nine Inch Nails
The Pixies
The Smiths
And more that will surely occur to me as soon as I hit "submit reply".
"Egos drone and pose alone, Like black balloons, all banged and blown
On a backwards river the infidels shiver in the stench of belief.
And tell my mama I'm a hundred years late; I'm over the rails and out of the race
The crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw are ringing in my ears"
-Beck
