DVD: They Might Be Giants "Venue Songs"

They Might Be Giants "Venue Songs"
Idlewild Recordings
Description: Challenged by former literary agent/author/deranged millionaire John Hodgman, They Might Be Giants wrote and performed an original song in honor of each and every venue at which they performed on a 2004 tour. The results are here on a DVD/CD set that contains a CD with the original recordings and in situ versions of the venue songs, in addition to a DVD with videos for 15 tracks. The videos are all as short, quick and quirky as the songs themselves, simply illustrating the basic crux of each tune. Directors with videos on the disc include Colourmovie, David Ahuja and TMBG member John Flansburgh. Mr. Hodgman provides intros to each video, that are as clever and funny as the songs and videos themselves. Venue Songs is currently being streamed at tmbg.com, with the DVD/CD set available exclusively there as well.
