Alt-rock veterans They Might Be Giants broke big in the 1980s, and they've been experimenting with all kinds of genres since then. John Linnell and John Flansburgh are two Massachusetts guys who've been making music together since 1982. They wrote the popular theme song for TV's Malcolm in the Middle, they won a grammy, and they've got a new cd coming out later this month. We'll talk with the two Johns in advance of their Stone Church performance, and they'll play some new tunes for us in the studio.
