2024 Game 94: Twins at Giants

6 Comments

Well, they might be.

This is the final series before the All-Star Break and the Twins have been absolutely capturing that old cliche of "win series, and you'll be fine." They've won 6 series in a row and have narrowed Cleveland's lead to 4.5 games, and they've crept closer to that #1 WC spot too. Another good weekend heading into the break should really cement the good feelings.

Joe Ryan pitches against Kyle Harrison.

Now, for some Twins/Giants overlap music to take you into the game...

FMD 9/25/2020 – Weird Al Covers Everything

8 Comments

Apparently Weird Al covered a bazillion songs on his last tour. True covers, not parodies. A lot of the ones I listened to were pretty straightforward, so I don't know that he added or took away much from the songs. But still. It's Weird Al!

Anyway, you can check it out the whole list - 4+ hours of covers! - here:

And I suppose it's worth making note of this particular TMBG cover:

They Might Be Giants – Whistling In The Dark

Video

Admittedly, this video is... dated. As, I suppose, is the song. But I sing it to/with my kids all the time. Usually when turning out a light. Though, strangely, rarely when turning out a light at bedtime. Huh.

That said, what would Philosopher week be without a spin from TMBG?

FMD: Christmas Gifts

3 Comments

Remember the 90's? In the 90's I was, with some frequency, gifted CD's as Christmas presents.

The best one I ever got was TMBG's Flood, which helped me start to discover music that had been made in the same decade I was living in.
The worst one I ever got was Shania Twain's Come On Over, which... was not what I was listening to at the time. It wasn't as offensive as it sounds in retrospect, but it wasn't particularly good either.

So what's the best musical gift you were ever given? And the worst?

Merry Christmas all!
