Giants Confirmed is back in its snail shell and ready to talk about TMBG’s fifth studio album, 1994’s John Henry! The Johns’ rhythm section want ad has finally been answered, and to celebrate, Trevor and Matt invite friend-of-the-show David (host of other fine NoiseSpace podcasts such as Tuning Fork and The Stick) on for the episode to discuss the duo’s transition to a full-band sound, as well as which TMBG songs are about doing drugs, which ones are about nazis, and even John Flansburgh’s undeniable artistic influence on the Atlanta hip hop scene.

On this episode, David and Matt have our special guest Trevor (of Giants Confirmed and several other music podcasts) to discuss The Boy With The Arab Strap by Belle & Sebastian. It turns out there’s a lot more lore behind this album than meets the eye. Thankfully Trevor knows all about it so that we didn’t have to try as hard. Let Belle sing louder, Sebastian.

Returning for a particularly enlightening second episode of Giants Confirmed, Trevor and Matt book a trip to the Johns’ hometown of Lincoln, Massachussetts for an in-depth review of the band’s 1988 sophomore album — and as one might expect, it’s filled with even more oblique references and confounding trivia than their debut. To paraphrase one of the record’s biggest songs: I don’t want the world, I just want to know what the hell “Purple Toupee” is about!
