Like most geeks I know, I have a list of Things To Do Someday. When I don't have time to actually tackle a project (which is almost all the time), I put it on the list instead. One of the items on the list is to build a great web site for my favorite band, They Might Be Giants. My site would include a list of songs and albums, lyrics, ideas about what the songs might mean, concert dates and reviews, and so on.
Well, how wonderful to discover that somebody else has already done it, and even better than I could have imagined. This Might Be A Wiki has all the groovy stuff, plus it's a wiki, which means there are smart folks adding information to it every day. There's TMBG news, song interpretations, info about band members, folks who sing & play on TMBG songs, videos, peripheral projects like State Songs, Mono Puff, and the late, lamented Hello Recording Club. It's thorough and obsessively wonderful, and you can contribute your own wisdom. OK, I can cross that one off the list! Well done, folks.
