They Might Be Giants / I Like Fun (new album)
The Brooklyn-based duo (John Flansburgh and John Linnell) return with a new album, I Like Fun. They Might Be Giants are best known in the UK for their 1990 hit Birdhouse in Your Soul (from the Flood album), but they are far from one-hit wonders – this is their 20th album in a career that has seen them sell four million records and accumulate two Grammy Awards. Their legendary Dial-A-Song service returns this month, also.
