Please do not put these files anywhere else on the net.
If you must trade them on Kazaa or a similar program, please do not rename these files.

My MP3s are free for your personal use. These sound files in NO way are a substitute for They Might Be Giants' albums. They are here to supplement TMBG's true fans by providing them with live versions of the songs they love, as well as covers of other songs. If you do not own the album that any given song is on (covers & unreleased songs excluded), you may listen to the MP3 for a week, after that you must go purchase the album or delete the MP3. Sound fair? I own every album and every single I can get my hands on, and so should you. I implore you, SUPPORT TMBG by buying their cds. They deserve it, and much more!

Special thanks to Ms. Chip from Seattle for hosting the archive!

The archive is only available via ftp. If you find any broken links, please email me.
I have divided the archive into four sections. This section is songs that begin with the letters N-S, click below for A-F, G-M or T-Y. (Songs that start with The are under the letter T)
