Long Tall Weekend is the seventh studio album by American alternative rock duo They Might Be Giants, released in 1999. It was released exclusively online through the digital music service eMusic. The album was the band's first since their departure from the major label Elektra.[1] Long Tall Weekend was also the first full-length album released exclusively on the Internet by an established major label band.[2] Although the album's primary release was digital, CDs of the album were issued promotionally.[3] Following the success of the album's release through eMusic, TMBG went on to issue a digital series of rarities collections — TMBG Unlimited — through their website.[4]
