They Might Be Giants “Snail Shell”
The Jon Stewart Show–back in the day. This was on the John Henry tour. We were in Europe for many weeks before doing this show. I remember feeling relieved, being back home in New York. This song was a Linnell composition and there was a lot of hope in the Giants’ camp that it would match the success of Birdhouse In Your Soul. I always felt it was an interesting tune but that it lacked something (like a bridge?). Far be it from me to critique a Linnell song, the guy is pure genius. Watching this really makes me miss this drum kit. I foolishly sold it to a recording studio when I became a GMS endorser–big mistake. These Yamaha toms were unbelievable! Watching this also makes me miss working with Tony Maimone. He’s a great guy and always a ton of fun.
