They Might Be Giants
Severe Tire Damage

Album US 1998 on Restless Records label
Rock and Pop (Alternative Rock)

They Might Be Giants' first live album. Mastered as Sterling Sound NYC. "Recorded at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, MN for 'Live at Pachyderm' radio series, and from various stages in New York, NY; St. Louis, MO; Toronto, Canada and Newark, DE. [Tracks] 1, 2, and 17 were not recorded live, but tracked like regular studio recordings. 'Meet James Ensor' was recorded sitting on the floor of the Paramount Hotel in NYC by Kevin Cole for REV 105. [Tracks] 18-24 were created spontaneously, live on stage." Tracks 18 to 24 are semi-hidden tracks. They are not listed on the back cover, and they begin after a few minutes of silence at the end of track 17. Collectively, the songs are sometimes referred to as "The Ape Cycle". The individual titles here are somewhat unofficial and assumed; all but track 24 match the titles of Planet of the Apes films or television shows. All songs published by TMBG Music BMI, admin. Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. except "Doctor Worm", "Severe Tire Damage Theme", "They Got Lost", "First Kiss", and "About Me" published by TMBG Music BMI; and "Why Does The Sun Shine?" published by Argosy Music Corp. ASCAP; and "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" published by Chappell & Co. ASCAP. ℗© 1998 TMB Productions, licensed exclusively to Restless Records Hub code: "72965-2"
