Description

<p>As a prologue for our upcoming deep dive into <strong>They Might Be Giants</strong>&#39; 1980s demos, we spoke with the legendary <strong>Michael Small</strong>, the People Magazine writer who first reviewed TMBG&#39;s demo tape in 1985 and gave them their first huge exposure, telling (or warning) the world about the madness to come! </p> <p>Michael tells us about the first time he heard the tape, the songs that got stuck in his head, appearing in the documentary <strong>Gigantic</strong>, his relationship with They Might Be Giants over the years, and more exciting tales of music journalism! He also tells us about his incredibly fun new show, <strong>I Couldn&#39;t Throw It Out</strong>, which recently interviewed John Flansburgh!
