	John Flansburgh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Conant Flansburgh (born May 6, 1960) is an actor and musician from Brooklyn, New York (though born and raised in Lincoln, Massachusetts).
		Flansburgh co-founded They Might Be Giants, with longtime friend John Linnell, in 1982.
		In the 2002 documentary Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns, he was stated to hold somewhat of a leadership role in the group, managing most details of their live act and handling much of the promotion effort.

	GO Brooklyn
		They Might Be Giants duo John Linnell (left) and John Flansburgh offer a caffeinated toast to "Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns," a new documentary about their 20 years in the music biz.
		Flansburgh confessed his initial fear that the documentary would focus on the business side of things or draw too much attention to the individuals behind TMBG rather than the "project" itself.
		Flansburgh feared the documentary would feed the comparisons that are a natural result of being a duo, and he could be perceived as the less "artistic" half.

	WNYC - Music - Now Hear This
		John Flansburgh I can only imagine that the bands you work with are extraordinarily successful just because most small bands on the verge of breaking up, you know, have a hard time even getting their friends to return their phone calls.

		John Flansburgh So this event sort of seems like a hands across the subcultures to me, because punk-I mean, in my high school, punk rockers and heavy metal kids-we were on the opposite ends of the smoking hall.

	Film: Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (washingtonpost.com)
		John Flansburgh: We are very rarely late to the stage for the actual show and we have to do a soundcheck in the hall before anyone gets there, so I doubt we were actually late-although it has happened for other reasons.
		John Flansburgh: It has a couple of origins, but it is based on the afro puff hair style in one big ball on the top of your head.
		John Flansburgh: I got into being a musician by the whole first wave of NY and Boston bands in 77 (back before there was a typical punk sound) I liked those bands so much, and the whole deal was a real positive thing for me as far as getting into playing music.

		No special connection, but the Johns say that it was not written from their perspective but that of someone on the opposite side of the world from Vietnam (hence "Make a hole with a gun __ to the name of this town..." etc).
		Flansburgh made the rather unusual video in his kitchen; it consisted of little more than Flansburgh hugging a door jamb and staring dreamily at the camera.
		McIntyre was a tremendous influence on Flansburgh and Linnell-- Flansburgh credits him for being the first to play him the Ramones-- but, sadly, his life was claimed as one of the earliest victims of the then-unnamed AIDS virus circa 1983.

		Running through the whole film is a portrayal of the Johns' friendship and ultimately, their view of the world, which we see in interviews with the Giants themselves, their colleagues, and their fans.
		John Flansburgh and John Linnell, to their credit, don't take a Johnny Rotten plunge into ego and self-congratulation: whatever you think of their music, the Johns seem perfectly affable and modest about their particular niche in pop culture.
		The Johns themselves -- funny, creative and immensely likeable -- are the great grace of "Gigantic." As Robert Krulwich says, they're secure in their "somethingness," and you gradually grow to admire their hard work and stubborn refusal to bow to label or audience.

		For nearly a decade They Might Be Giants--guitarist John Flansburgh and keyboardist John Linnell--have used an 8-track tape recorder for all their live accompaniment.
		Newfound crunch aside, John Henry jumps genres as feverishly as any of the group's past albums; if the duo had better voices and a worse sense of humor, they'd be awash in Beatles comparisons.
		It's a question the two Johns are still trying to unravel, but only in their ever-decreasing spare time.
