They Might Be Giants is a band from Brooklyn, New York and i'm a big fan of their music, i've tried to make it in Infinite Craft with elements such as Brooklyn, Giant, Istanbul and Constantinople (referencing a song of theirs)

Any ideas?

grave remnant
#

try combining those words with other 2-4 word things

istanbul was constantinople

ornate silo
#

here's a recipe although it's dependent on delete first character which is probably not desirable

i still dont know how to make "tm"

#

i've made "alphabet" and .alphabet

Also using the element English works fine, you don't need English Name.

Here's a bunch of album names too, the ones I was able to get:

And some other TMBG related stuff too:

I got more, granted "Kiss Me, Son Of God" is missing the comma.

#

Getting TMBG from the other way around

#

For R, you can sub D, T, Acronym, Boxes, Outbox, Horror Movie, Mail Order Audrey, and I'm sure some other things. Actually, The Beatles works too.

Nice recipe simplification!

#

There are a few more routes, around 20 steps each. Interested?

#

A few more songs, some of which have sane lineages

Here's all the Here Comes Science songs I could find:

#

From searching the Discord server, seems like MarbleSphere got the first discovery for that Davy Crockett song.

I spent my time getting the word Your Soul just to get "Birdhouse in your soul" from combining Birdhouse and In.

#

I GOT FACTORY SHOWROOM!!! let me see if i can trace the lineage

#

tracing any further back would be a huge pain in the ass

#

Factory is a pretty basic word to get, there's a very easy guide for 'alphabet' [here](#1214815916957761586 message), and I'm sure there are lineages for Delete The Number Zero, Prepend Hashtag, and Put This In Quotation Marks floating around

Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.

#

Here's a quick lineage for "000". guides for "0"-"9", 'alphabet', and "alphabet" can be found in the relevant thread

Close enough?

AND IT WAS SO CLOSE TOO

Now playing: Severe Tire Damage

im 4 songs out from getting all of the songs on Flood. does anyone have lineages for Lucky Ball & Chain, Someone Keeps Moving My Chair, Hot Cha, or Sapphire Bullets Of Pure Love?

#

I already have an element just called "sapphire bullets", but I want the full song title dammit!

#

here's a lineage for Theme From Flood. Prereqs are "alphabet", 'alphabet', Put This In Quotation Marks, Delete The Number 0, and "0". And of course the 2 letter combos seen in the lineage but those can be gotten via this spreadsheet

#

We Want A Rock (prereqs are same as Theme From Flood, as well as "000" which is shown in the lineage for Theme From Flood

ancient spindle
#

Lucky Ball & Chain

fathom robin
#

Women & Men (prereqs are the same as WWAR, except for the addition of With Spacing and Ampersand, both of which I'm sure are easy to find by scouring the server/infinibrowser... or you might just already have)

#

i wish there were an easy automatic way to make lineages like this but there isn't afaik

#

SURPRISE. i also spelled out road movie to berlin. like an ANIMAL.

#

i tried semantic lineages trust me

ancient spindle
#

Nice revival though

#

the one semantic combination i didn't try.

fathom robin
#

had to spell it out as per usual

theres probably a semantic but idc

Sad that I couldn't find a semantic solution, but I can always keep looking
