Ant made this back cover for Nanobots in the style of a Central American record from the 60’s.
Ant just did a Google Translate of a Japanese tracklisting of Apollo 18

hey, do you own an original US LP copy of TMBG’s debut album, pink!?
if so, it would be really awesome if you took this survey my friend ant set up!
it turns out there are a lot of crazy variations in copies of the pink album, and he is trying to catalogue frequencies and try to make sense of things and etc.
and he totally used some pictures of the labels of my copies because i have one he doesn’t have! ha ha!
ANYWAY do the survey if you have a pink LP! thanks! :D
Explanations:
1. Ant just made his 10,000th edit (COS HE’S RIDICULOUS) and I was all envious that Apollo was making a congrats banner for him and I said “WELL I’M ALMOST AT 1K GEEZ I EDIT THE WIKI TOOOOOOOO”
2. Apparently the number of edits listed on the user preferences page (which is where I was looking) is off by a fair bit and so it turns out I have already made over 1k
3. Apollo calls me a sloth because I had my gallbladder removed (they apparently don’t have them) and also I loll in bed a lot AND ALSO I’M ADORABLE YOU KNOW IT
4. I’M JUST AWESOME OK

- antgeth: HOW DOES FLANS DEFY OXYMORONS
here’s a really flippin’ weird demo of “Chess Piece Face” from a really flippin’ weird demo tape Ant has.
WHAT
So Ant is looking up things about Oppenheimer, who opened for TMBG on the The Else tour, and he found this on the Livejournal of one of the guys: On the last night of tour, it’s common for the headliners to prank the opening act -
They Might Be Giants taped all our keyboard keys together and threw paper airplanes at us. WHAT. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. That is GREAT. Was Linnell actually involved in this??? I can see Flans throwing paper airplanes but NOT HIM.
(11:52:10 PM) typewrittengirl: you know though
(11:52:17 PM) typewrittengirl: if john did make paper airplanes they would be all like
(11:52:18 PM) typewrittengirl: THE BEST ONES
(11:52:20 PM) typewrittengirl: THEY’D BE ALL LIKE
(11:52:26 PM) typewrittengirl: SUPER-AERODYNAMIC AND SHIT
(11:52:55 PM) antgeth: or not, cause he’d be clumsy when folding them
(11:52:58 PM) antgeth: so they’d be great designs
(11:53:01 PM) antgeth: but bad construction
(11:53:10 PM) antgeth: and then he’d be confused as to why they’d stall
(11:53:32 PM) antgeth: “the COG in that one should be perfect”
In case you’ve ever wondered what Flans’s shirt says in the flexi pic, Ant asked on FB and Flans says it’s “Yellow Springs.” WP reveals this is the home of Antioch, which is the second of Flans’s three schools. FANCY COLLEGE BOY (fancy if you ignore the fact that he had to go to three to actually graduate).
here is ant playing john linnell’s “utah” on a really WEIRD and great (and huge) harmonica (which you can read more about in the video description or somewhere else on the internet you crazy kids)
