Birdhouse In Your Soul. I toured with TMBG for 6 months in 1994. At the time I didn't appreciate their music enough. Hearing this now, I think the song and the band's performance are pretty killing. John Linnell - keyboards & vocals, John Flansburgh - guitar & vocals, Tony Maimone - bass, Brian Doherty - drums, Jim O'Connor - trumpet, and me on trombone. This is taken from a live radio broadcast from Sony Studios in NYC.
