( continues...) Cat - The Clean - Anthology 1:41
They’ve been on other mixes. The kings of kiwi-pop.
21. Monkey - Individuals - Fields/Aquamarine 2:48
New Jersey indie band from the early 80s that never got their due. Recently re-released.
22. Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey - The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms 4:17
Ditto all the way down to the New Jersey, except everyone loves the Feelies.
23. Modern Farmer - Yung Wu - Shore Leave 2:22
This is one of the Feelies’ alter-ego bands, along with the Trypes and a few other names. In this version, percussionist Dave Weckerman was the lead singer and some members of Speed the Plough filled out the sound.
24. Flop Eared Mule - The Holy Modal Rounders - 1 & 2 2:18
Too high and lazy to learn the traditional songs they were playing, the Holy Modal Rounders made it all up as they were going. World, world, real real world.
Hey, I see a good dose of Lost in the Grooves in that mix, Cor.
I used to go see Dex & Crow sometimes when I lived in North Carolina, and they never failed to bring the rawk.
Did you ever see the Flat Duo Jets piece on IRS The Cutting Edge? It's great - you get to go down into Dex's "crypt" (actually a shack in his parents backyard where he's been living since he was a teen. Total rock and roll fallout shelter.)
Leathermouth is opening MSI's east coast shows.
I'm equal parts excited and fearful. (Can you IMAGINE the little shriekystalkies this is going to inspire? Oh. The. Horror.)

That's true, but I think my only LITG pickup on that list is Dead Dog's Eyeball. I'm the target demographic! Speaking of, did I tell you that Brian Beattie played at my Austin book release party? He was backing up another guy, but still.

No, but wow.

Aw! Frank and Lindsey can totally hang out!

Cool beans! Shouldn't you be playing at your own book party, though?
"I will now play a 40 minute instrumental version of 'Wall of Death.'"
Ha! Yeah, my band actually did play. One of the guitarists from another band joined us and we traded licks on "The Calvary Cross" for about ten minutes.
Oh, look. Kidrobot has chibi Simpsons figures. Who in this thread would be interested in those?
someone stop me from buying a case...

Don't do it! Every time you're tempted to buy yet more Simpsons memorabilia, go have sex with your beautiful wife instead.
