Then: The Early Years

Edit: I also have State Songs... forgot that somehow.

Plus I also have a couple of personal TMBG compilations and a bunch of their tracks scattered across other mixed CDs.

Unfortunately I have no DVDs, but I do have their 1992? video compilation.

For some reason I have no singles, only albums. I do intend to correct this soon. Watch this space. ^_^

*does as told and stares at the computer screen*


*eyes begin to water*

You doing your *loves to follow instructions* thing again? :P

...Yes.

*continues watching said space*

Take A Look

-They'll Need a Crane EP

-The Guitar (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) EP

-Plus, I downloaded They Got Lost onto my IPod as well as several songs from The Spine Hits the Road (I bought/downloaded this really funny version of Violin from iTunes in which the Johns are explaining how to do the wave to the audience-and when they practiced the "tide actually pulled the front row away so there was exposed beach-with some skulls and stuff-some fish skeletons from the band fish" Funny stuff.) and Indestructible Object EP

-Gigatic: A Tale of Two Johns DVD
-Direct From Brooklyn DVD
-Venue Songs CD/DVD

And some ABC stickers which I used to decorate my school Planner

Heh I've only been collecting since last summer :P

Edited AGAIN because I got new stuff :banana: and I got a picure :D

Not including seven inches, EPs, 12 inches and other things not included in the picture, which, let's face it, not being included does help my cause. And I have used this pic a few times. But I show it again. Hark me, dammit.



Don't make me go through my vinyl and catalogue it all. Don't. What's that Skip? It is all trapped down the abandoned mine and if I don't list it the world will end and that corset won't pop?

Edited. By me. DON'T DRINK AND POST, kiddies.

lucky for you guys, (not really) I happen to have a picture of all my CD's together in one nice neat little pile

it's too big to put here, so here's a link

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! :lol:

w00t I got John Henry!

bit dissappointed by it though..

:o
DISSAPOINTED BY JOHN HENRY!?!?!??!
never heard that one before

for some it takes a little growing into because of its extra degree of sophistication

keep listening! ^_^

Agreed. JH is my favorite now, but when I got it, I only cared for five or six songs. They're really infectious songs once you hear them a few times.

My list, in order of least suck to most suck:

"Gigantic"
John Henry
Factory Showroom
The Spine
Mink Car
Apollo 18
Lincoln
Flood
Pink Album

Feel free to argue with me about the order here. I'm interested in your various opinions.

Back on topic, I would like to point out that while John Henry is my favorite album, I think Factory Showroom has the best ratio of good to suck (11:2 ain't bad). John Henry just comes together so well as an album that it's hard to put it after anything else.

I'm surprised you guys have the rare stuff that you have. I mean, I didn't even know there was a Don't Let's Start EP. Where do you find this stuff?

EDIT: Also, Klimdeeni, how do you have a physical copy of Long Tall Weekend?

yea i do have the LTW CD
It's pretty cool
I got it off of ebay
the one i think is more impressive is the house of mayors CD
that is a VERY hard one to get

I suppose you don't have "Dr. Spock's Backup Band", which is also very hard to get hold of...

I will post a list of the rare tracks I have soon, when I can be bothered to write them all down :rolleyes:

:huh: Long Tall Weekend was never released in disc format... It was an eMusic album only with downloadable PDF liner notes and cover.

w00t sucess! I'm starting to like this album, it's wierd... yesterday I hated the song window. Now i like it...

about the long tall weekend CD
there were some copies of an actual longtall weekend CD released at certain concerts promoting long tall weekend
there were also some released to certain stores, but not for sale
for display or something
someone had one and sold it to me
now i spend my days doing this :banana: :rocks: :banana:

about dr. spocks back up band
no I don't have it
i think it's either just live recordings, or a collection of prereleased songs

http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Dr._Spo...7s_Back-Up_Band

that's all i could gather from the wiki

I saw a copy on eBay once... sold for about £25 ($43)

wow, that's a much better price then what I got it for

My collection, in order of being bought:

Dial-a-Song
Flood
Apollo 18
