Don't Get Fooled Again
Friday, March 30, 2007
John Flansburgh visits Soundcheck to examine musical hoaxes—just in time for April Fool’s Day. Plus, California-based a cappela band Slammin performs live in our studio.
Musical Hoaxes
John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants stops by to look at the "wink wink" stories in music history. The post-punk darling and half of the alt-rock duo They Might Be Giants digs up pearls like “The White Stripes are siblings!” and “Mama Cass choked on a ham sandwich!”
