They Might Be Giants Biography
HERE COMES SCIENCE!
For alternative rock legends They Might Be Giants, rave reviews from the likes of Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, Pitchfork, NPR and beyond might not be that unexpected, but we’re not talking about their regular gig here. Sure, TMBG have sold millions of records, are multi-Grammy winners and have even composed a musical addition for an entire issue of McSweeney’s, but these most recent accolades are for the work TMBG has made for children and–as the reviews attest–no other band swings as effortlessly from adult music to children's fare and back again with the artistic and commercial success of They Might Be Giants.
John Flansburgh and John Linnell’s latest CD/DVD is Here Comes Science (Idlewild/Disney Signal). It’s an ultra-vivid crash course through topics that in lesser hands could easily place kids to sleep. With rock anthems and electronic goodies crafted to amuse, intrigue and deliver the 4-1-1 on evolution, solar system, photosynthesis, the scientific method and more. Following Here Comes the ABCs and Here Come the 123s, Science is geared for grown-up kids and it introduces thoughts in a way that not only inform but will stay in your head forever.
While it may seem like an odd go for a duo recognized as the progenitors of the American alternative rock movement, it really all makes perfect sense. From their earliest days with Dial-A-Song through their online music distribution, TMBG have always challenged rock’s status quo and gone out of their way to take their music to groundbreaking new audiences, and by the looks of things, they're having a lot of fun doing it their way. The Giants use each bit of fan interactive technology by connecting with kids via regular podcasts and including a DVD of delightful animated interpretations of their songs with each Here Comes… album.
The band is constantly working on new music, new projects and touring–sometimes with 2 shows a day. Founders John Flansburgh and John Linnell, along with their long standing live combo of Dan Miller, Danny Weinkauf and Marty Beller, show no signs of swapping one successful gig (adult music) for another (children's music). Rejoice people of Earth–there's just that much more for us all to delight in.
Question: You once said in an interview that TMBGs knew what you didn't want to do with your music geared for kids: You didn't want to tell them how to behave or write songs that are educational. But these songs are quite educational, and in fact, you have a science consultant on this record. Did you make a conscious pronouncement to really teach something on Here Comes Science?
John Linnell: I reckon it's still a record you can listen to for enjoyment, and that's real vital to us. I am impeccably comfortable with the thought of something that is pure entertainment, but I don't reckon there is any need for something just decently educational from us. My sense of this record is that it is mostly fun, musical and fascinating and it happens to have lyrics that talk about science.
Question: Did any Children's books or albums make an impression on you when you were a child? Because now you're making that impression on children.
John Flansburgh: We get that question a lot, and it's a valid question, but speaking for for myself, I feel like we have something to contribute to kid’s music because what we’re doing is really lacking in the general culture. Generally, our stuff is not really coming out of any incredible experience with the kid’s stuff from the past. Our childhood was during the really golden era of classic pop and singles. Those songs weren’t really designed for kids, but the power of it spoke to us and a lot of other kids quite directly.
Curiously–although I see the obvious relations–we didn't really grow up with all of the progressive kids stuff of the 70′s. We were that micro generation of glitter-rock young teens listening to Alice Cooper and David Bowie and we really missed the boat on Sesame Street and School House Rock and Free To Be You and Me. But even being a bit too ancient for it, you could tell there was something cool about that stuff. Basically the cartoons of our generation were either super-violent, like Spiderman, or the really simple-minded Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
Question: Which one of you was the science student? Either or you? Neither of you?
J. Linnell: Specifically into science? I would say we were both middling students in school, but philosophically we are both, as adults, very pro-science. We like living in the post-enlightenment era in description. Are we still living in the enlightenment or is it over now, I can't tell? Are we in the "en-darkenment" now?
J. Flansburgh: I reckon we're really in to the "gee whiz" part of science–all the scientific experience that sparks your imagination. We certainly aren’t academics, but there is something remarkable about the world of science and there are thoughts in science that just send your mind reeling.
J. Linnell: One the things that is exciting about it is that it makes you realize that things that are right, that can be proven, aren't always intuitive. There is a difference between what seems to be the case and what turns out to be proven to be the case, and that's really exciting. The world isn't always what it seems to be and it makes everything more wonderful in a way. You have an experience of the world, walking around, and then science provides knowledge about the world that is not always anything like the experience.
The description of scientific discovery is partly revealing things that you don't always experience directly, it's bizarre in a way that so much of what we know is stuff we can't always experience directly, like molecules and galaxies.
Question: Does that make it simpler or harder to write about Science?
J. Linnell: Well, both. There is a point that you do reflect that you're trying to clarify something preposterous. And luckily, I reckon kids know the whole world is weird and preposterous, but as they get grown-up, they get used to the thought that there are facts they just have to take someone's word for.
Question: Considering you guys once used an answering machine to showcase your material, how amazed are you that you have all of this media at your disposal – podcasts, internet, video, etc…how has it altered the way you work?
J. Flansburgh: We loved having an simple-breezy, loose reputation in terms of getting our music out to people. It was very fantastic to be the one of the few acts in the United States who wasn't preoccupied with getting on the radio or a cash return on our music. Of course now there is nearly no end to the free stuff, and it is cool to see how much you can get in to the world, but with the most standard videos on YouTube being cats jumping into a box or people getting pushed down escalators, part of me worries that all this electronic media is just in the service of turning our culture into an endless episode of America's Most amusing Home Videos.
J. Linnell: A lot of what the technology suggests to people is the democratizing of culture and the notion of interactivity kind of caught fire online ahead of schedule on. What's weird for John and I is that we were never attracted in either one of those things. We really like the thought of controlling what we are doing and we like the ancient fashioned thought of there being quality control on culture, that you would get the "excellent stuff" and there would be a way, through a critical apparatus or institutions, that would deliver the excellent stuff and filter out the terrible stuff. It feels like the huge conundrum currently is that everything should be available to everyone at all times and the result is a lot of garbage to wade through…not to signal like an 80 year ancient man! (laughs)
Question: With your accompanying DVD, how did the directors and animators come together? Are they the same people from Here Come the 123s? How much creative control do you give the animators with your songs?
J. Flansburgh: We are the producers on all the animated material and we select the artists we collaborate with pretty carefully. We’ve been involved in a lot of television and video projects over the being and that was very excellent schooling for these projects. There is an expression in rock video production: "Excellent. Quick. Cheap. Choose two" It's a very unreasonable thing to expect everything to come together on a tight budget. Our strategy is to give the animators a relatively long lead time so they can do something that will be a excellent portfolio piece for them and something cool for us. And although we're on a tight budget, we can offer a large quantity of artistic freedom, and that gives us the opportunity to work with the most creative people out there.
Question: For this tour, you're doing both "kid" and "adult" shows, sometimes 2 in one day. How is it different when you perform in front of kids versus when you perform in front of adults?
J. Flansburgh: Whatever pretensions you might have about your routine get really re-calibrated when you're playing for kids–playing a kid show is doubtless a bit closer to being a school teacher than being a rock star. There are also a lot of parents in the audience and we take up them as well which kind of breaks forth the wall of "kiddie-ness."
Just to take up the questions we always get: "how is it different writing a song for kids or writing for adults?" or "performing for kids and performing for adults?" Well, there is a real overlap, but there are meaningful differences too. A excellent song works in a way that is kind of irreducible whether or not it's for kids or adults. If a song has a strong melody or an fascinating concept, it will animate any audience, but in routine, kids have a really small attention span, so keeping things moving is vital. Routinely the confetti machine gets the largest response of the day. That will keep your ego in check.
Although in the past, "Clap your Hands" and "Alphabet of Nations" worked for adults, by and large the kid stuff stayed in the kid show just because it’s, well, for kids! (laughs). But with "Here Comes Science" a lot of the songs work excellent in the adult show. and that's unusual. "Meet the Elements," "My Brother the Ape," "A Shooting Star is not a Star," and "Why Does the Sun Shine" slid into the adult show without any second thoughts, and "I Am a Paleontologist" is really rocking live.
Question: What's next for They Might Be Giants?
J. Flansburgh: We're working on a rock album right now, but we have so much touring interrupting our effort it’s hard to know when it will get done, so the real answer is we’re going to be spending a lot of time on a tour bus trying to figure out how to get the WiFi working!
Our children's book collaboration with Pascal Campion, Kids Go, just came out at the end of last year on Simon & Schuster. It’s really a very gorgeous project and a fulfillment of a dream of mine. When we were approached, I wanted to do an actual picture book, which very few people get to do, and it was exciting to realize that dream. A excellent picture book is something that really stays with you.
In other words, all I have are the lyrics, no music, as I plot to leave that up to someone who knows music. For myself, I’m just a bard. Anyway, I went to www.copyright.com and finished up toatlly confused, as I wasn’t able to determine everywhere I should go from there. If they can be registered, should I register them as poetry or what. Again, I am confused, and any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Copyright.com is a fraud. Copyright is automatic. If for some unknown reason you feel a need to register your copyright in your lyrics, contact a copyright lawyer.
Answer by bcnu
Do not use copyright.com for any function.
You do not need to register anything, and in most countries it isn’t even possible. Your copyright started when you wrote the original lyrics. You can OPTIONALLY register your work at the US Copyright Office (or UK or some other countries), by their online forms and a small fee.
They are considered literary works. There are numerous fact sheets and other helpful publications at the website of the copyright office, noted below. Again, you do not have to register in the USA, at least not in anticipation of you intend to sue someone in federal court for copyright infringement.
Answer by Sarah Kolb
It’s completely possible to register your lyrics without the music; you’ll simply register as a “literary work.” While it’s right that you automatically own any intellectual property you make, a copyright registration is a way to prove that. (There’s no language in US Copyright Law to support the practice of mailing your work to yourself and leaving the seal in tact, for instance; while that might seem like a logical thought, it’s best to rely on methods that are backed by Copyright Law.) If someone else steals your work and registers their own copyright before you do, the law will be on their side.
Copyright.com is not a government website; copyright.GOV is the website of the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress.
