They Might be Giants-Birdhouse In Your Soul

I have so many happy memories associated with this song, with They Might Be Giants. Eric and Chris (Ball State swim camp buddies) introduced me to their music the same weekend as Monte Python and the Holy Grail and home theater surround-sound. I saw the group live for the first time in 1996, Slater Slammer (do they still have that at Purdue?)and I buy tickets any time they have a show within 100 miles. The Vogue in Indianapolis is a great venue for them to display their talents as it's quaint but not divey, there's always plenty of room to stand or sit as you please, they have an intermission as well as a set break between opener/headliner and it's non-smoking (at least for TMBG, one of the John's has a severe allergy to smoke). All-in-all, I can't think of a better way to spend an evening at a bar.
