about

They Might Be Shitposting, the second largest They Might Be Giants Facebook group, presents John Henry, a tribute to the Greatest Album of All Time in celebration of the album's 25th anniversary.

Hi. My name is Ekelemchi Okemgbo (@radarsignals), and I organized this cover album. I hope that you enjoy listening to it. This is an idea that I've had for a long time, starting back when Ian and Adam covered The Else as Spooky Girls back in 2012 and after the Mink Car cover album. John Henry as an album has always had a special place in my heart, partially because it helped me through a tough patch in my life and partially because it came out in the same year that I was born. So when John F casually mentioned that people didn't like John Henry during the show in Portland, I was double motivated to make this cover project happen and to make it as big as possible. This album includes twenty musicians and several other people who made meme art based on the cover. It's a monstrous, kind of scary thing that you would expect from a meme page , but it's based on our combined love for this band and for this album. There's also a secret song based off of a meme shared within the group.

Instead of trying to collect money, we just ask that you give to a charity that makes the world around you a better place. Thanks for listening.
