They Might Be Awesome

Okay - so the award for coolest band website that I've seen (not that I'm really looking) goes to They Might Be Giants.

New York native TMBG have been kicking their accordion around for a long time now, and they had free content available for fans far before the web made it fashionable, at Dial-a-Song. Basically, they set up an answering machine with new snips and sounds of stuff that they were kicking around, which you could call into and listen to. Many times, they were just goofing off, but they'd also preview new stuff on there, and some clips eventually grew up to be full-fledged ditties.

You can go to the Dial-A-Song website now, for the same effect.

They have 2 family/kids albums out (who would have thought, but then again, what a perfect match). They've also taken on their own distribution of their songs, and their live shows through their website, which I definitely support. Finally, for joining their mailing list, you get access to free content on their site, including mp3s, etc. I love free stuff, and I think that TMBG are great.
