Brooklyn's They Might Be Giants are known for their innovative ways of connecting with their audience - from a phone answering machine to podcasts. Mark Wheat spoke with TMBG before their show at First Avenue about working on their new album, The Else, with the Dust Brothers as well as a song they wrote about First Avenue.

Songs performed: "Take Out The Trash," "Mesopotamians," and "I'm Impressed."
