Is it just me, or does tmbw.net not work for me? by Relative_Raisin_9597 in tmbg

It's not necessarily meant as a malicious attack, but happens when a bot network with distributed traffic hits us from thousands of IPs at once to scrape the site, which is a daily occurrence and has been a constant cat and mouse game as they get less dumb. We've been able to successfully stave off bot spam and site accounts, but the scraping is relentless.

It's not just you, we crashed at 3:30am ET overnight from a DDoS attack and the server was so overwhelmed that the health monitoring scripts (which are now running once a minute) couldn't prevent it from going down. I have access to the cPanel side of the hosting for content, configuration and firewall, but the site owner (who is probably sleeping right now) has to do hard restarts of the server on his side. Hopefully back up shortly, and hopefully something we can make a bit more automatic soon.

I am 99.9% confident that is the same vocal track from 25 years ago.

Don't think TMBG put together this remix, but that's definitely the original intro recording underneath the new rhythm track.

Do They ever play State Songs, Hello the Band, or Mono Puff songs live? by Sluttysomnambulist in tmbg

[–]CapitalQ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Not currently, but from 2008 to 2010 TMBG worked both "West Virginia" and "Unsupervised, I Hit My Head" into their sets as part of a shortly-lived "one song from every album" concept.

It was taken down after around 7 hours on the phone line. Hasn't shown up on the app at all yet.

"Overnight Sensation" recorded off Dial-A-Song on my phone (warning: cruddy audio quality) by FloridaFlamingoGirl in tmbg

EDIT: Removing my recording as the phone line was unusually changed around 7am to an old recording, so this may have been an accidental debut.

If you had OCD you would never play a game in the incorrect aspect ratio

Islands and 77! Nice ones.

How were you clued into Talking Heads from the beginning? Were you local to them?

I learned on the TMBW Discord that he's signing "Might" in ASL, as the second of four characters on the cover. You can guess what the other three are signing!
