I know them very well, but I'm not really a fan (so, other). Good band, I think of them like a less version version of... like... Toad the Wet Sprocket, a really specific sound from the 90s with some great catchy hits, but it's hard to go back to them.
But I *did not* know that they made the Mickey Mouse clubhouse song... Like, the new Mickey Mouse clubhouse that's on Disney Jr or an older version? Oh wow, the new one. As someone who suffers through at least one episode of Mickey Mouse clubhouse each day, I'm ..... actually less a fan than I was before learning this.

Yeah. I've seen them at the same venue with over 1200 people in the late three years and I'm always surprised that like 30% of the audience is middle age and older but there are tons of people who look like teens to early twenties. And yeah it's pretty much all white though I'm Indian.
Racist Friend felt like an outlier to me just because of how straightforward it was. They've several songs about social issues but that one was extremely direct.
I have had one of these for years because of that song
I had a friend who loved them in high school, (still does 20 years later), but I could just never get into it. I don't dislike their music in any way, but I just feel like maybe at a certain point in the 90's if you wanted to get into some weird, "lo-fi" a-typical "alternative" music that didn't fit at all into the whole grunge, or punk scenes at the time, you kind of gravitated towards TMBG or Ween, and I chose Ween. But like I say, I don't dislike TMBG. It's just never clicked with me.
I will never not think of a carnival I worked as a volunteer with friends in HS while playing flood, particularly Minimum Wage over and over and over again.
I fucking love TMBG and I've only been able to see them once. It was here in Indy at The Vogue in Feb 2018.
The sound setup was trash and ruined the show. I was devastated. I was introduced to them by my friend's older brother in the early 90s and have loved them ever since.
If you like them, don't sleep on the Hello Radio album. I like a couple of the covers better than the original versions.

I had a phase where I listened to them a lot in high school, followed by forgetting about them until being reminded of the Istanbul song ever few years or so.
"I'm Impressed" from The Else was a jam back in the day though.

I was wandering around the mall record store one day in 2000 and they were setting up a small stage near the entrance so I just stuck around and eventually fucking TMBG showed up.
They've been my favorite band since I bought one of their compilation albums back in 2006. I've seen them twice (both during the Join Us tour.) There are so many songs I know completely by heart. I waver between Lincoln and John Henry being my favorite albums, but I like all of them.
Yeah yeah, that's it.
Like, that song is real. You can feel it before even reading the backstory.
Also the intro sounds like such a downer for (musically speaking) a pretty joyful composition.
I've been a fan ever since MTV aired "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head" on 120 Minutes that one time.
First saw them live for Flood, at a tiny venue that had clearly been booked before it was clear that the album was a break-out hit. Crowd full of frat boys who knew only one or two songs, all jammed into too-small a space. Not good.
I've seen them more times than I can recall the number of since, most recently for one of the very last shows before lockdown in early March.
I'm a member of only 5 real discords and one of them is a TMBG discord.
And yes, legit member of the fan club. My wife and I also indoctrinated my son (he was born around the time of Here Come the ABCs) and now that he's a teen he is also a mega fan. Knows their music better than I do, even.

I've been dragged to a few concerts against my will over the years, but the only concert I've voluntarily gone to was a TMBG concert. I've been a fan since the mid-90s.
Literally have one of those in the outlet by the light switch (and have had for a really long time).
