But guys, guys! Didn't you hear? One day, me and phoopes were talking about "Touch My Creamy Center" at the mall, but deoxys was on duty and was all, "Stop trying to make TUGs happen! It's not going to happen!" And then Shuckle, who was within earshot, was all, "UP YOURS DUDE!" and snuck into a secret room and switched the Greatest Ru$ha Hits of 2011 with Flagging Peregrine, and everyone got kind of confused when they started hearing the molten riffage of "Heist on Mt. Rushmore" over the PA system instead of... well, "Slow." And then he got arrested for starting a TUGs riot.
What I'm saying is we don't want to incur the wrath of the thread police, guys. also I heard there's a sample of the "TIN ROOF RUSTED!" bit from "Love Shack" buried in one of the TUGs on

It is kind of astounding that there's a line drawn between clever spam and moronic spam, to the point that this hasn't been deleted.

Hm! Looks like I've been beaten to the punch. TUGs is at it again! Their new album, SPAM, is divided into two halves, "Moronic" and "Clever". Good sleuthing, Emgee.
"Clever" is a new angle on the TUGs' original post-doom-pop take, with none of the dissonance we've come to know and love. Songs in this half include "Saving Everything Worth Saving" and "Powdered Infinity". "Moronic" is also a new angle, but this side amplifies the horrible-sounding jarring clashes into a pure wall of noise that, somewhere within its chaos of melodies and harmonies confused with arpeggios and robot sounds and plenty of dubstep along with no less than six cybertronic snare parts and two magnetic violin parts. Still sounds nice, though, for whatever reason. Iunno. Songs here include "BbBbBbBbBbBb" and a horrible-sounding song (featuring both Ru$ha and Justin Meemer singing a duet without knowing the other person is also singing or indeed that they're being recorded) entitled "Slippery Slope". Thank you for delivering the news, Emgee, though I can't help but feel you can go into a little more detail next time.

I'm kinda meh on the new album. It seemed like a good gimmick at first, but I think it shows that TUGs are at their best when they're combining their pretty solid melodies with all that noise; no need to separate 'em. I'm convinced they did the Ru$ha/Meemer collab just to troll their respective fanbases thinking they'd get some sparkly song about partying or MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE OOOOH.
In the mean time, since I've moved on to Switchberry's debut EP, here's the text from some blog post by a TUGs fan. Really nice tribute. Wish I remembered who it was so I could link back to it. Quote:

Yes, "Nutella Gives Me Good Vibes" is their latest single. Apparently, it's supposed to come as a bonus if you pre-order both Black 2 and White 2 from a Japanese Toys R Us. Like I said, it was leaked along with all the new Pokemon info in the new CoroCoro, but it's being waaaay overshadowed by all of the hubbub from the games. No one realizes that they can get great music out of this too!

Well, they feel that people should buy a whole album or a single instead of listening to it on Youtube or individually through iTunes. They're kind of like AC/DC in that regard. (Except AC/DC is still on Youtube.)
