An altered photograph from the time John Flansburgh and John Linnell visited the studios of KMSU 89.7FM in Mankato, Minnesota. Text reads "THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS SOUNDCHECK LIVE FROM NASHVILLE ONLY ON KMSU!" (We're still sort of shook that they hung out with us for an hour to chat, so many years later.)

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST: "Just finished my Tretchikoff-inspired TMBPTMBG Colouring Competition entry. He might be a famous Belgian Painter but James is clearly too grey and boring to win the heart of a true-blue THEY-GRRRL!"
