	Venue Songs - TMBW: The They Might Be Giants Knowledge Base
		TMBG started the practice of composing songs about each venue they performed in during the Spine On The Hiway Tour in 2004, coinciding with the launch of the TMBG Download Store and the ability to download (almost) every live performance by the band.
		Following the conclusion of the tour, most of these songs were released as part of the Venue Songs album, though many of the versions found on that album were drawn from soundcheck performances, and variant versions (such as Toad's Place (C+)) were not included.
		It also appears that there was no venue song from the Nashville show (Friday, July 23, 2004).

	Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Istanbul (Not Constantinople) is a swing-style song originally performed by The Four Lads in 1953, and was written by Jimmy Kennedy and Nat Simon.
		The song was later famously covered by the rock group They Might Be Giants, who released it on their LP Flood in 1990, and on its own EP that same year.
		The song was also featured in the 2003 film Mona Lisa Smile, the Pierce Brosnan episode of Muppets Tonight, and it appeared at the end of The Simpsons episode "Mobile Homer".

	RLM: They Might Be Giants
		As songs, though, there are only a few that are "real" (most are a few seconds which spit out the title of the piece), "Bangs" being the best one (and of course it would appear, as a different mix, on the next album).
		There's nothing "wrong" with any of these songs, but that's somewhat become TMBG's problem lately: that they've gotten so good at writing songs that the songs themselves are perfect in terms of craft but not in terms of anything really interesting to hold on to.
		No song is much longer than two minutes (most are closer to a minute), but most are also enjoyable, and the CD is an hour and ten minutes (and the DVD is well put together, mostly with animation), so it's worth getting if you're a fan.

	Morrissey
		His songs tell stories, either based on his observations, or more directly tied to his own experiences.
		He has a stunning ability to capture the telling detail in his songs, and he reveals more about each of his memorable characters in three economical minutes than many other songwriters can in an entire album.
		By turns humorous, ironic, clever, and lyrical, Morrissey’s stories are enhanced by their spare and intimate arrangements and are delivered in a voice that has been variously described as gravelly, craggy, weathered, husky, and tender.

	New song every day? No problem - The Mix
		One song, called "The Orange Peel" is about the performance venue of the same name in Asheville, N.C. Picture this: A deranged millionaire forcing a rock band to write a new song every day as they tour the U.S., Canada and the UK.
		Often the songs are about or mention the venue, but other times they use the meaning of the venue's name as a noun, rather than simply a venue -- as seen in the song inspired by the Dallas rock club Trees.
		And in the song inspired by Vancouver's Richard's on Richards, they lyrics are not related to the venue at all, but the singers nonsensically say its name at the end of each verse.

	THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS - EAR.FM - THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN ROCK ARTISTS
		Their album "Long Tall Weekend" is one of the first full length albums made for exclusive download in the mp3 music format, available only on the internet and not in stores.
		In 2001 they could be heard providing the theme songs to 3 television programs including the popular "Malcolm In The Middle" as well as the theme to "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart".
		In an interesting move, they contributed an original album of 37 songs to the prolific McSweeny's Literary Journal, Volume 6 which is sure to become one of the rarer rock albums in history due to its limited availability.

		The songs on this album reflected some of those changes and some maturation of our songwriting.
		Almost immediately, we began writing songs that were much more than chasing girls and wishing summer would never end.
		These songs, now heard on the new album Going on the Road, create a new relationship with old fans and help new fans to relate to our lives and our music.

		Additionally, the venue that hosts a physical digital jukebox is required to obtain a public performance license from ASCAP, BMI and SESAC that covers the right to publicly perform the musical works.
		Whether the courts will allow you to reproduce, distribute, adapt, display and/or perform copyrighted works depends upon four factors: (i) the nature of the use (commercial purposes, nonprofit, educational); (ii) the length of the excerpt; (iii) how distinctive the original work is; and (iv) how the use will impact the market for the original work.
		When in doubt, it is always wise to check with the copyright owner, because in many cases even a small clip of a song may not be "fair use." Contrary to popular belief, there is no 30-second exception to copyright law nor is there any exception for music sampling.

		Generally, a folk song is a simple composition, that has been passed down mainly through oral tradition over a period of some years, and somehow reflects the culture of the people that keep it alive.
		Whatever the performance venue, the songs were repeated by the listeners and other singers.
		They have achieved their status as folk songs because people love them and sing them...they are the songs that "everybody knows."they have become songs The Bastard King of England is an example.

		They rise above most electronic/techno artists because Venue’s songs are not very repetitive and don’t run on and on for ten minutes straight.

	marathonpacks: They Might Be Giants Venue Songs
		Their mid-Eighties “Dial-A-Song” innovation established They Might Be Giants as a veritable song factory, giving more than an impression that they seemingly know nothing else other than how to write short catchy numbers drenched in nerdy references and the occasional distant reflection on romantic relationships.
		Their new release Venue Songs, which surprised me (and probably a few other bloggers) sitting in my mailbox the other day, is a brilliant, yet simple concept that they pull off flawlessly and in a highly entertaining and often hilarious manner.
		Basically, they wrote short songs based on a number of venues they played, and later had videos made for them.

		The shape of the venue, the songs you choose to play, how your voice is that night, how much the audience gets involved--it's every one of those things.
		We have at least ten of his albums, probably more, but we've never gone to see him live because every review I've ever seen of his live show said that it was absolutely flat.
		And the tight, driving complexity of the music was absolutely butchered by the band, or maybe he was so off-rhythm that they couldn't salvage the songs.

		Amongst all the wild yelps of enthusiasm from stateside venues, one particular track uses the audience-less soundcheck version.
		So, if you go to the TMBG site and click on the video for the Glasgow song, don't be too upset with the Deranged Millionaire's description of the dear green place as 'the angry city'.

		The venue was a sell out and fairly lively, although we all noted how the crowd seems to have changed over the years*.
		What hasn't changed is the cross section of ages....the electricity that the performance brings...and the excitement you see in some people who you know are at their first GK concert.
		I agree with Jack's comments about the pavillion venue and about the people who have their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend, that they 'dragged out'.

	Byrd: Consort Songs / Emma Kirkby, Fretwork \| ArkivMusic
		No question, these consort songs by William Byrd are a specialty area of the vocal repertoire visited primarily by early music aficionados and, in this case, will be of interest to fans of the singer, whose illustrious and influential career has spanned most of the era of the modern "period-practice" movement.
		While these are essentially songs--there are several purely instrumental selections as well--the balance tends to give a bit too much weight to the viols, which results in an unduly thick-textured and less-than-ideal forward instrumental presence.
		Nevertheless, Kirkby is a formidable interpreter--commanding, facile, graceful--and it's interesting to hear her darker, richer vocal quality in some songs alongside her trademark unaffected, young-girlish sound elsewhere.

	DECAPOLIS : They Might Be Giants - Live in Indianapolis
		His surprisingly powerful classic rock-style voice was interesting against the sound of an accordion, and most of his songs were hilarious and kept the crowd laughing.
		Working through a hefty setlist of old and new songs, the band was tight and fun, albeit a bit less excited than I have seen them previously.
		Between songs John Flansburgh and John Linnel, the only two official members of TMBG kept the packed crowd laughing (especially two overzealous guys just behind me who had to scream their laughter at every little joke).

		The group's most recent experiment is an album and DVD, "Venue Songs," a collection of songs and videos inspired by venues where the group has played.
		For the current tour, the band has worked up several songs from the group's earliest albums, along with new tracks from the upcoming album that the band is recording with producers the Dust Brothers.

	Des de Moor: Those Old and Evil Songs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Those Old and Evil Songs sets out to trace what for contemporary English-speaking audiences is largely a hidden history of literate European popular song: sometimes deeply emotional and lyrically poetic, sometimes subversively humorous or bitingly sardonic, often critical and socially and politically aware.
		The show then fast-forwards to the blossoming of pithy and controversial song in the dark underbelly of inter-war Europe, with songs from the cabarets of Germany and France, including that touchstone of the political cabaret repertoire, Bertolt Brecht.
		Heinrich Heine (1797-1856), born in Düsseldorf, was a poet and satirist in the grand tradition of Goethe and Schiller.

		TMBG released the collection of songs recently as "Venue Songs," and listening to it one has to marvel at the ingenuity of the two, especially when faced with playing several House of Blues franchises, each of which required writing a completely different song.
		Flansburgh then spent the rest of the show playfully admonishing the group, at one point stating that they had hit rock bottom and that this show was serving as an intervention.
		Flansburgh and Linnell traded vocal duties, depending on the song, and the crowd was treated to confetti cannons, guitar solos by Flansburgh and guitarist Dan Miller, and a light show much better than one would expect at a venue the size of the Music Farm.

		He is able to enunciate his feelings perfectly well, but is completely impotent to stop them returning, and returning, and returning.
		I love how the song assumes an assured structure when her name is mentioned for the first time, as if affirming her presence, before reverting back to the doubt-laden anxiety of the earlier state.
		The effect is composite, though, and the song grows more and more disturbed---the voices from the attic disappearing and reappearing---until completely deteriorating into a melange of half-utterances and partially remembered conversations, contintuing until it collapses onto itself.
