Mink Car Cover Album

futuresushi:

At midnight on September 11, 2001, They Might Be Giants officially released their album Mink Car and launched the celebration with a party at a Manhattan Tower Records.

We all know what happened the next morning.

To mark the ten-year anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, and to raise money to support and train New York’s essential emergency personnel, we are going to release a full cover of the Mink Car album.


All proceeds from Mink Car Cover will go to the FDNY Foundation, the official not-for-profit foundation of the Fire Department of New York, established to provide resources for the professional development, education, and training of members of the FDNY.

Featuring artists like Hank Green, MC Frontalot, Drifless Pony Club and my friends Nuclear Bubble Wrap and Tom Milsom, I had no god damn idea this was happening and even though I don’t really like the album, all the people I like are covering the songs I like so I am buying the fuck out of a CD copy of it.

    But…it’s Mink Car, arguably the worst album TMBG has ever put out. Still, I hope whoever does My Man does it justice.
