We've been doing "day of show only" requests for a few years now. We already get waaaaay more requests than we can play as it is, let alone if we accepted them in advance. So you have some time to prepare your wish list! :)

We promise that Mancamp never wants for snacks; Black Ops takes very good care of him. But the 13th annual They Might Be Playing They Might Be Giants landing on Friday the 13th should concern everyone... WHAT FATE AWAITS US???

Just go to www.tmbg.love/tmbg-country + follow the instructions there. (Hint: Once you've landed in TMBG Country, walk your avatar to the bottom left corner of the world to find the Giant Bowl.) If others are there, you can choose to text/audio/video chat, or just chill on your own. It's up to you.

The holiday season can be challenging for a lot of people even in the best of times and, well, you know... here we are. In hopes of continuing the TMBPTMBG joy a little longer, you can now re-live all 12 hours of KMSU's 2025 TMBG marathon 24/7 in a continuous loop + in virtual community with others.

Imagine a little green virtual dude in a little green virtual world, dancing to They Might Be Giants songs in a little concrete amphitheater labeled "GIANT BOWL". That's pretty much what this image is.

WELL THAT WAS FUN! Whether you tuned in for 1 hour of our @tmbg.bsky.social marathon on @kmsumaverick.bsky.social or all 12, we hope you had a good time listening to amazing requests, being moved by thoughtful stories, chatting with John Linnell, and jamming to TMBG's soundcheck!

Linnell was able to join us today, but not Flans. We will have the entire day available for listening as well as Linnell's isolated interview in a few days. Keep an eye on social medias -- we'll announce when they're available.

@tmbg.love reminding us that the proportion of TMBG songs that are total bangers is high enough that you’ll still hear multiple in the last half hour 🤘
