(this is not an ad, this is just excitement about keyboards. i'll fill in the keyboard models later if i can determine which ones they are.)

As a fan of [[They Might Be Giants]] and Homestar Runner, it's always amazing to hear a TMBG song that reminds me of something The Brothers Chaps would make. I'm not talking about [[tmbw:Experimental Film|Experimental Film]] or [[tmbw:Crystal Fortress|Crystal Fortress]], or any of the other collaborations they've done together; I'm talking about songs that just sound like they fit with Homestar Runner. Usually that happens when TMBG use the same Casio keyboards we all know and love. (Speaking of which, good to hear [[Record Store Day|a new toon]] that brings back the Casio keyboards!)

Two examples I can think of are [[tmbw:Put Your Hand Inside The Puppet Head|Put Your Hand Inside The Puppet Head]], from 1985, and [[tmbw:I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You|I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You]] from circa 1987. The former uses a keyboard patch in the background that is also used as the [[Lappy 486]]'s startup sound, and is heard when angry Bubs marches up to Homestar in [[Donut Unto Others]]. The latter uses drum patches that are very common on the site, specifically in [[Theme Song Video]].

Fresh off TMBG's new album [[tmbw:Glean|Glean]] which came out today, here is a third example: [[tmbw:All The Lazy Boyfriends|All The Lazy Boyfriends]], which has the keyboard patch most famously used in [[flag day]]. A music video for the song was also coincidentally released today, and you can listen to it [[youtube:J4ir6dTP-Rg|here.]]
