The They Might Be Giants Podcast tops a whopping one million downloads in January, within only six weeks of its initial release.
In February, Linnell states that a They Might Be Giants songbook will soon be in the works, featuring a collection of non-album specific songs from TMBG's career. He asks the fans to email Operator Dot with their ideas of what the ultimate function of the songbook should be.
In March, Dial-A-Song returns one last time after more than a year of being down, beginning with the song "We Live In A Dump (Demo)." Six days later, it's confirmed by Operator Dot that TMBW admin CapitalQ sent TMBG the email that (temporarily) revived Dial-A-Song. About a month later, Dial-A-Song goes back down.
The Beardo 2006 tour launches in April, premiering three new songs from The Else (then untitled).
The compilation album Podcast Highlights is released in May.
dialasong.com gets a massive redesign, breaking with the past design that focused on Dial-A-Song, and focusing more on the TMBG Podcast.
