The World Is to Dig

This year is the 40th anniversary of the band's debut album.

Since forming in Brooklyn in the 1980s, they have just released their 24th album called The World Is to Dig.

Get down, get down.

They broke the code, here's what they found.

Nice to speak with you again after so many years.

After so many years.

Mr. Linnell, when did you first start recording The World Is to Dig?

Dig?Um, I can't remember.

I get to chat with John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants, a band I've really, really respected for many years.

Their latest album, their 24th album, The World Is To Dig, is just as good as, uh, all the rest.

Uh, they consistently put out amazing records, so it was a privilege talking with John Flansburgh, and we talk about not only his group, but some of the music he's loved over the years.

And then be sure to stick around till the end.
