From Flansburgh:
"Hi everybody there is a NEW FREE MP3 up! Particle Man - live at XM
http://www.tmbg.com/freeTunes.html
This highly alt. version was cooked up pretty much on the spot for a kids' show we recorded a few weeks back. (Yes, it is moi, Dr. F, subbin' for DW on the bass, so all bass-accuracy complaints can be made at 1-800-SOIMNOTTHATGOODONTHEBASSLIGHTENUP.) The track was recorded upstairs from the XM Studio at a pretty vibey place called Nola Recording. Word has it Nola is the oldest working recording studio in NYC. Previous recordings by Judy Garland, Charlie Parker, Elvis Costello and evidently this insane, fake-applause-filled aural document by a 13-year old Barbra Streisand: barbraarchives.com/Recordings/streisand_vaults.html
My Beck profile got pushed back to the 13th due to an overflow of Pope news at Nightline, but they have guaranteed the date now, so reset your Tivos."

~ oh to live on the east coast...
the Barbara Strissand link didn't work, so i didn't bother with fixing it. i didn't figure anybody here would care much about it anyway.
i wanted the Beck thing, but i had already heard that it got changed, so it wasn't a surprise.
we're helpin ignatz move that day, so i hope i'm not too tired to watch. i guess i can stick in a tape... 
anyhoo... i think i'll go get that song.
