Gigantic Success (0 comments)
I finally got around to watching Gigantic this week. The movie showed a few seconds of John and John performing Birdhouse in Your Soul with Doc Serverinsen and the Tonight Show Band. I like They Might Be Giants, and I like jazz. Fusing the two is just too cool.
I went on the internet to look for a recording, but to no avail. I did, however, find that the full performance was included as a special feature on the DVD I'd just watched. I probably should've looked there. Anyway, after a few downloads of trial software, I ripped the audio track from the DVD, edited out the introduction, and encoded it, resulting in the longest filename on my system:
ckuehn@frankie:~ > find /music -name '*Severinsen*'
/music/Everything/They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in Your Soul [With Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band].ogg
It makes me happy.
