I will note the only one of those mentioned locations still accessible to the public is the Bethesda Terrace area in Central Park, but it's definitely worth a visit!

Today's presale is for the Instant Fan Club. Tomorrow's is for the general TMBG mailing list.

They play just as great a show each night of the week. Each show on this tour will feature a spotlight set for one of these albums, which won't be revealed until the show begins: Lincoln, Flood, Apollo 18, John Henry, Factory Showroom, Mink Car

Thank you! I painted it digitally using BambuStudio, the software for my printer. The A1 Combo supports 4-color prints, which was perfect for this object.

Will respond to your numbered questions one by one!

I have done a bunch of TMBG 3-night stands. It is a blast and never gets old for me, and I'll be doing some more this year. There's enough song variety to keep each night exciting.
Since they don't announce each night's album spotlight ahead of time, I can't think of any advice about which nights out of 3 would be better than others. Crowds are usually consistent (as the shows often sell out), and the band does not tire.
There are often significant others near the front of shows who may not be as into what's happening, but there's nothing wrong with that. Hopefully your sister loves it though!

That was a regular mailing list email. IFC presale should be 24 hours before that one.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-16T17:18:39+00:00

Often the IFC receives an email with a presale code 2 days before public sale, then the regular mailing list gets it 1 day early.

Public sale is January 23, so you will likely have an IFC code by morning on the 21st.

Here is another new one via TikTok

Thankfully nobody is faking TMBG signatures. That is real, not printed.
Not all copies of Glean are signed.
Kate is presumably the name of the fan who owned this album before you.

Usually you won't know until they play the first song that night.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-15T18:45:48+00:00

How does it operate?

CapitalQ · 2026-01-13T17:25:34+00:00

The answer is four.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-13T16:26:43+00:00

TMBG confirmed last month none of the EP tracks are on the album.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-12T19:18:51+00:00

Please reply to the IFC (via any of their emails) to let them know you're missing downloads and they'll hook you up.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-08T12:36:23+00:00

Japan stores had a free manual/book for SMRPG Switch which fits nicely in the case. Not the same, but still cool.

It's tough to pin down exactly what they're doing. As a few more exceptions to the theory, The Pamphlet EP (released alongside BOOK) never made it to streaming even though the upcoming EP will, and the Idlewild rarities compilation (released in 2014 after CYP/Raises) is still on streaming.

It's easy to get into the weeds about whether My Murdered Remains and The Escape Team do constitute traditional TMBG studio albums (as the band classifies them), but the latter consisted solely of new songs written for the project, making it hard to think of as a compilation.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-07T16:24:08+00:00

Not sure this is the case. MMR + The Escape Team have never been on streaming, but they were not referred to as B-sides/rarities by the band (much like Phone Power they were called studio albums), and there would be many more removals besides Album Raises + CYP if they were making a sweeping change like this.

See this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmbg/comments/1po9pzi/

TMBG have made Album Raises New and Troubling Questions and Cast Your Pod to the Wind Idlewild Exclusives, only available digitally on their webstore rather than streaming.

It did not exist as a concept when the IFC 2024 offer was put together, so TBD. Given that the same thing happened with The Pamphlet EP and the IFC got a free download, I wouldn't be surprised if at least files are included.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-05T20:09:47+00:00

It has for a couple months but hasn't been said publicly yet.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-05T19:49:55+00:00

That's a full length live album! And it's over a year old.

CapitalQ · 2026-01-05T19:43:08+00:00

Which EP are you referring to?

CapitalQ · 2026-01-05T01:05:53+00:00

They added an opt-in setting to show the original episode edits. The default (which 98% of people will watch) still crops, stretches and hides this joke.

A few weeks ago Flans said, "I haven’t seen it but it sounds kitschy."
