I will pay 1,000,000 RM bucks to anyone who can find a band photo of big thief where at least two members aren't touching

speaking of big thief, how is there not a thread dedicated to them? i can't think of a clever title, but they certainly deserve one.

Does this count?

Actually, I'll self-edit. Not a band photo, but a photo of the band playing, so doesn't count.

You are right though ghost - these fellas are super touchy-feely, aren't they?

[Strat]

Man, disappointed by that new parquet courts album.

Oh well.

[Higgs]

Play it again Strat.

[Jorge]

Here's looking at you, Strat

[Jorge]

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Strat walks into mine

[Strat]

Starts off strong but then falls apart about 4th song in.

[dad]

You can't see it, but the drummer's balls are resting on the guitarist's shoulder.

[LetMeSleep]

In that stage with Turnstile where I get so amped to get in my car just so I can blast them for a few songs

First listen.

Maybe.

[epilogue]

The new They Might Be Giants is solid. Side B is better than Side A on first listen. But a lot to love and dive into. This band is just so consistently good. It's wild, really, how they've maintained such a strong level of quality over 35 years.

[LetMeSleep]

Very late to the last Besnard Lakes but it’s tickling me nicely.
