My Famous Friends: Mike Eagle and TMBG Together!
My pal Open Mike Eagle has never made it a secret that one of his biggest influences is also my favorite all-time band, They Might Be Giants.
He has quoted them in a few of his own songs, and recently included a section from the obscure TMBG track “Weep Day” in a performance, which you can see here:
Well, this morning TMBG took notice!
YES! Open @Mike_Eagle rap ends with part of @TMBG's Weep Day on the track Qualifiers. See it on @wits http://t.co/KiNxKMwCpS

That’s pretty awexome (so awesome it has an x in it). TMBG retweeted me once last month (when I tweeted about them and Joss Whedon being on the same episode of Jimmy Fallon’s show) and it ’bout gave me a heart attack:
On @jimmyfallon tonight is @josswhedon AND @tmbg! Oh gosh! Yikes! Goodness gracious! Ho boy!

So it’s great to see them acknowledging the Open Mike Eagle love. Well-deserved accolades for Mr. Eagle.
