Review of Gigantic (2014) by Cory B — 12 Jan 2010

I like to keep my the lore and the faces of my music far away. I could probably name the lead singers of three or four bands; I like music, I just don't 'get into it.' Here, we get an incredibly expansive look into TMBG, but I beg that's there wasn't much to mine in the first place.

They exist on the fringe of music, churning out great, albeit weird, music, and they've been doing it since 1982. There's a lot of filler, and people like Michael McKean and Andy Richter stop by to recite lyrics; totally teleprompted.

Also, the host of This American Life, Ira Glass, probably just graduated to the spot of my least favorite person ever; awfully irritating, full of himself, and forcing the gay. All in all, I would have rather just listen to some of their music for 100 minutes; nothing I really needed or wanted to find out.
