HOLLOW EARTH IS REAL

what?

In May of 2025, I listened to everything that They Might Be Giants has ever released (within reason) and document my thoughts and analysis. This includes every mainline album, EP, and compilation, live sets, various "important" demo albums, as well as John Linnell and John Flansburgh's other work.

I called the project

THEY MAY BE GIANTS

and posted these writeups, without commentary, on Mastodon and Bluesky. I did not edit any of them before I published them due to the frantic pace of releasing these words.

Here is thirty days worth of writing about They Might Be Giants, totaling at "about 30,000 words". It is best read on a computer, not a phone.
