They Might Be Giants played last night (Apr. 24) at UCLA Royce Hall. They had a special first hour with three different authors reading poetry. Dave Egar had a story about a boy who, during the reading, listened to The Smiths song "Well I Wonder." While reading this story, They Might Be Giants played the music to "Well I Wonder" and John Flansburgh sang it! It was a great show and just another surprise "tribute" to The Smiths.

    I certainly want a recording of this. That sounds nuts. I used to like They Might Be Giants a ton when i was younger!

    I wonder if they'll post it on their site....

      The writer you spoke of is named Dave Eggers, author of "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" and "You Shall Know Our Velocity". FYI. I would also love to hear this.
