Editorial Reviews

DVD includes eleven original video clips along with an original narration by former literary agent John Hodgman in the role of the Deranged Millionaire. Bonus video material includes "Damn Good Times," "Bastard Wants to Hit Me," "Experimental Film" (with Homestarrunner), and "I'm All You Can Think About" The Venue Songs CD includes over an hour of music-all for the first time on CD. All the new studio recordings of the Venue Songs are included in full CD fidelity. The disc also features rarities "Renew My Subscription," "Love Is Eternity," "Taste the Fame" and "The Bloodmobile" and compiles all the original Venue Song recordings from the 2004 tour. While this two disc set will probably be commercially released at a later date, and much of the visual material will be shown on the new TMBG website, it is offered now as a definitive copy of all this fine material in one deluxe two-disc set, and just in time for the holiday!

4.0 out of 5 stars Home Run!, April 6, 2006

This review is from: They Might Be Giants "Venue Songs" Double Disc Set DVD (DVD)

Venue Songs is an amazing collection of videos, and nothing short of what every TMBG fan should come to expect from the group.

The entire collection is binded together like a Twlight Zone episode with a guy who sort of me reminded me of Rod Serlingh. Videos like "garage" (which I think is for their trip to Glasgowe) and the Homestar Runner one are hilarious. Other good videos are the ones they did for the House of Blues, which are really sarcastic (I guess they don't like playing there?), and the Charlottesville video that has a ridiculous hitch-hikin cowboy that has super powers.

I not only recommend this DVD to hardcore fans, but also to people who appreciat music video as an artform.
