For a few decades now, They Might Be Giants' album 'Flood' has been a beacon for people who might rather read than rock, who care more about Dali than Dokken, who are more often called clever than cool. The brainy sort of kids who listened to the band saw their own cultural options grow explosively during the late 1980s and early 1990s amidst the confluence of the early tech boom and the country's growing leftist social tides.
