Hey wise folk: Mekons are now on eMusic! What do I really, really need? Have been wanting to check them out for a while, where do I start?
Dude, they got more reviews in Lost in The Grooves than anybody excepting the Beach Boys. Look 'em up, Lexi.
Aside from the ones already mentioned, I am personally very fond of
The Mekons Rock and Roll
(which has the great "Memphis Egypt" on it) and also deeply love
So Good It Hurts
with my favorite "Ghosts of American Astronauts" and the excellent "(Sometimes I Feel Like) Fletcher Christian." (AMG wrongly gives this spanking great and very listenable album a middling review. I think it's one of their most listenable, where they perfected their distinctive mix of country music and punk lashed with carribean rhythms).
What David said. But then, I like the rock.
Rock and Roll
is not on eMusic, which only has the Quartstick stuff.
I'm pretty sure my shiny new iPod has made my work day at least 50% more tolerable. David, I downloaded your Halloween playlist and listened to it on the way in to work today, driving through the low, thick fog. I think "The Green Slime" is my favorite track. Thanks!
Does anyone have recommendations for good mp3 blogs? I'm not sure where to start looking.
Kate, my faves are Songs:Illinois (mostly singer/songwriter, indie, alt-folk and alt-country) [link]
Said the Gramophone: [link]
Sixeyes (mostly Canadian and indie): [link]
I think "The Green Slime" is my favorite track. Thanks!
You should see the movie. They play that song over the opening credits in a groovy disco on a space station.
I wonder if my video place has it?
Sue and Tom, thanks! Those look great.
I wonder if my video place has it?
Unfortunately, the whole movie isn't that great. But I do love that opening. Space Disco! More movies should have them!
It might've been MST3Ked.
It might've been MST3Ked
It was, back in the KTMA days.(Trying to remember if it's the elusive ep nobody has on tape, or if that's a different one)
