REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- EMusic.com Inc. (Nasdaq:
EMUS - news), a leading seller of downloadable music on the Internet,
and San Francisco-based Wired Planet today announced the launch of a
network of new 24-hour-a-day audio stream channels on Wired Planet
featuring music from They Might Be Giants and other top independent
artists from EMusic.com's expanding catalog of over 25,000 tracks.

Radio They Might Be Giants
Besides ``EMusic Electronic'', an audio channel sampling the best of
EMusic.com's collection of electronic music, Wired Planet is also
launching ``Radio They Might Be Giants''-- featuring music from and
selected by members of the eclectic pop/rock band They Might Be Giants
(TMBG). In addition to the band's new MP3-only album Long Tall Weekend
and other catalog, Radio TMBG includes artists that have inspired the
Giants over the years, such as Soul Coughing, Frank Black, Eugene
Chadbourne and Laura Cantrell.
``I've always been interested in alternative forms of radio,'' explains
John Flansburgh of TMBG. ``I believe that there's a sizable and very
real audience out there for whom today's radio doesn't appeal -- because
the nature of commercial radio isn't flexible enough. It's exciting for
us to be able to create radio programming that isn't pre-packaged. We
hope this appeals to our fan base, but we also want to find and attract
new listeners in the process.''
Have fun,
Keith

I love this station, I love the internet, I love They Might be Giants!
I like the little facts it tells you as the songs play, but...
!! When it started to play Older, it said, "This song will be on our next
cd, tentatively titled 'Unreliable Narrator'" ? Was this a mistake? Or
another of a myriad of titles for this song?

Wow! It's mentioned over at theymightbegiants.com, but I had no idea it
was going to be ready so soon. Thanks!

I think that means the next album is tentatively titled
"Unreliable Narrator"... which would be the first we've heard of such a
thing! A title! This is all very exciting, because I've never been on the
newsgroup as a new studio CD is being born.

Yeah, I only got to listen to a little of it but it is awesome! I like
how it shows the album covers as well, even Long Tall Weekend`s. It only
played one non-TMBG song, but that was cool too.

Not the first time we've heard the title though, as Flans said it's his
favorite TMBG song in the LTW chat.

Maybe it was a joke. Since if the announcement was a lie the person
reading it would be a Unreliable Narrator!

Speaking of which, is anyone else having a problem with this thing? I mean, it
plays ok, but my player is in a big jumble, graphically. Half a button one
place, the rest of it somewhere else. The bars for volume and balance are in
one place, while the sliders for them are hanging off the bottom of the player.
It's all a big mess. I've tried re-installing, re-downloading from a different
mirror and then re-installing, and I get the sam crap interface. Anyone else?

I've been listening for awhile, and so far I've heard songs by Laura
Cantrell, Eugene Chadbourne, Frank Black, and some Mono Puff and State
Songs stuff thrown in as well.
