	Long Tall Weekend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Long Tall Weekend was an Internet-only album by They Might Be Giants and was released in 1999 (see 1999 in music).
		It was the first full-length album ever released exclusively on the Internet with the exception of some promotional CDs.

		They Might Be Giants’ Long Tall Weekend is MP3-only, but it’s largely a collection of songs Giant-heads have heard before or will hear somewhere else.
		Most of Weekend’s best moments have Linnell behind the microphone — the Flansburgh tracks are a little more straight-ahead pop, reminiscent of his side project, Mono Puff.
		Long Tall Weekend is available from www.emusic.com for $8.99.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: They Might Be Giants
		But TMBG always seem to have a lot of unreleased recordings sitting around...and so we get Long Tall Weekend -- a collection of alternate versions, unreleased songs, dial-a-song tracks and oddities that were gathering dust, albeit in the best sense of the phrase.
		The quality on Long Tall Weekend is consistently high -- the disc merely lacks the cohesive feel and thematic structure of a more deliberately-assembled album.
		If MP3s are your cup of tea, Long Tall Weekend can be yours in minutes; if not, you'll be reassured to know that Splendid's review copy came on CD, proving once again that music reviewers can be stubborn Luddite bastards when we see fit.

		Leave it to forward-thinking nerd-rock outfits like They Might Be Giants to push the envelope to the point where the stamp falls off.
		Long Tall Weekend came out on MP3 only, leaving some of their biggest fans out in the cold.
		For lots of reasons, Long Tall Weekend is worth downloading.

		Although this is a great album, it doesn't feel as fresh as the first three, and the latter half of the album sags a bit.
		Long Tall Weekend (1999) -- TMBG begins working with EMusic and their downloadable MP3 albums.
		The songs themselves on Long Tall Weekend are almost all good, but eventually the album becomes pointless.

	Nude as the News: They Might Be Giants: Long Tall Weekend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As a They Might Be Giants album, Long Tall Weekend lies somewhere near the bottom of the band's oeuvre.
		Many of the tunes on Long Tall Weekend are culled from these Dial-A-Song tapes or other songs TMBG created on the fly and for one reason or another deemed unworthy for one of their regular-issue albums (the seventh of which is due out next Spring).
		Long Tall Weekend is best-suited for fans already familiar with most of TMBG's regular-issue work, but it must be admired for its revolutionary format: kudos to GoodNoise/Emusic for providing a forum for electronic file-based music releases.

	Long Tall Weekend
		It's a neat way to start the album; I prefer having an opening theme of sorts to starting an album with the song that's supposed to be a "hit" (not that Long Tall Weekend really has any of those).
		The amusing story of a girl who thinks she's someone else is told over a very simple but catchy tune.
		I'll leave it to you to decide whether this is a good or a bad thing.

		Long Tall Weekend (along with Public Enemy`s There`s A Poison Going On) is among the first full-length albums to be released in the downloadable MP3 format by a major artist.
		PE`s album is also on CD, cassette, etc. As for Long Tall Weekend, it`s more a collection of various songs that probably wouldn`t be released otherwise and demos for Their next album.
		Long Tall Weekend really is for die-hard TMBG fans, which there are plenty of on the Internet.

	They Might Be Giants: Long Tall Weekend: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Long Tall Weekend is set to be released strictly via MP3 by EMusic.com on July 19.
		As it turns out, Long Tall Weekend is still not a stellar release, but is easily their best since Apollo 18.
		Call me an ass, but these tracks were recorded as part of the Long Tall Weekend album, and they detract from the overall quality.

	Pop-Culture-Corn: Music: John Linnell - State Songs
		The opening track, "Illinois," is performed entirely on a vintage band organ, which required Linnell to recruit a technician to punch his melodies into a roll of paper and then run the roll featuring his song through a massive band organ.
		One organ on the album was found in an afficianado's home in Long Island, another inside the carousel in Central Park.
		Four songs feature band organ along with Linnell's vocals and instrumental additions, but it's this first song that spotlights the organ most effectively and sets the perfect playful tone for the rest of the album.

	Zane's TMBG Page
		TMBG is coming out with two new albums soon: a children's album from Rounder and a regular album from an undisclosed label.
		Their last record was Long Tall Weekend which is good but only available through the internet, making it more for real fans than the casual listener.
		All of these albums are interesting and good, since they're They Might Be Giants and would have trouble being bad if they were trying to, but when you get right down to it the band has not done a whole album of new songs since Factory Showroom in '96.

		Now it happens very rarely and I was surprised it kicked in during this film.) Nothing was actually said about 9/11, but the mere sight of the show I had attended caused my heart to race and my body to tense up.
		I actually have no idea how long Gigantic is because it started late and then the Q&A part of the evening was an undefined length.
		I know it was long, but I wanted to share as many details as I could remember.

		The lyrics are certainly odd and surreal, featuring narration from someone with a head but no body, but the backing music is too low key to make the song worthwhile.
		One last track originally released on Long Tall Weekend, Token Back to Brooklyn, is actually a song that many They Might Be Giants fans may already have.
		Since there were over thirty songs on the original CD, none of them turned out to be very long, and most sound like half-formed ideas that never developed enough to make a full song.

		But since then, They Might Be Giants have released Long Tall Weekend, an album only available in MP3 format.
		Due to the (somewhat unexpected) success of Long Tall Weekend, label/distributor EMusic sponsored the band on a two-month nationwide tour.
		Forced to take a break from this hectic agenda of multimedia domination--at least between soundcheck and showtime--Earpollution finally had a chance to allow John Flansburgh the opportunity to catch his breath and do some looking forward, a little back...and plenty sideways.

	The Underground - CD Reviews
		Available from emusic.com for the super price of nine bucks, Long Tall Weekend showcases the latest work from John Flansburgh and John Linnell, with material spanning from their last studio release Factory Showroom to their upcoming rock album, due out later this year.
		Other niceties round out the album, including revamped versions of their dial-a-song classics "Operators Are Standing By" and "Token Back To Brooklyn." The highlight of Long Tall Weekend is the Giants' cover of Ellie Greenwich's "Maybe I Know," which has been a staple of their live show since the band formed in the mid '80's.
		The Dust Brothers, long hailed as the kings of remixing, have proven their mettle as creators as well.

		They Might Be Giants is a household name among most college students for such MP3 standbys as "Particle Man," "Istanbul" and "Birdhouse In Your Soul," but it took the Johns many years of musical obscurity to achieve that status.
		The band's most recent projects are Severe Tire Damage, a live album, and Long Tall Weekend, an all-MP3 album that can be downloaded at the E-music website.
		In addition to their career as They Might Be Giants, Linnell and Flansburgh both pursue independent projects--Flansburgh's band Mono Puff has two albums out, and Linnell's solo CD State Songs recently hit record stores.

		Factory Showroom suggested that the band had backed themselves into a corner, as the humor of their early records had waned and even the band's trademark hooks were confined to a few tracks.
		That means that Mink Car is in many ways the beginning of a new part of They Might Be Giants' career.
		Much like on Factory Showroom, the band does recycle a few cuts, including "Older" and "She Thinks She's Edith Head" from Long Tall Weekend and the non-LP single "Working Undercover for the Man" for the disc.

		Originally on "Long Tall Weekend", this is still a great, spooky, educational song.The flash thing has the ghost of Thomas Alva telling you about phonographs and stuff.
