When John & John (of They Might Be Giants) we’re first getting their start as TMBG, they got publicity by recording songs (or bits thereof) to an answering machine, and then advertising the number in the Village Voice (as a personals ad). The song “Untitled” (https://tmbw.net/wiki/Untitled https://tmbw.net/wiki/Untitled) was a recording of two people who called the number, and discussed what they heard.
