Another week, another Mercury music section to ignore as you watch the Australian television show Angry Boys which features an actor in black face playing the role of a rapper. How delightful!
Gillian Welch is back, so that means all other Americana artists are no longer valid. Sorry guys.
LISTEN:
Gillian Welch – “The Way It Goes”
Jackie-O Motherfucker doesn’t care about your rules, man. Also, for the sake of the children, we shall now refer to the band as Jackie-O Motherfudger. Much better.
LISTEN:
Jackie-O Motherfucker – “Where We Go”
Limp Wrist is the gayest, and greatest, thing to happen to the dude fest that is hardcore punk.
LISTEN:
Limp Wrist – “I Love Hardcore Boys”
Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees and people say we monkey around… those people are idiots. The television band of the ’60s was actually (directly) responsible for some pretty great music and (indirectly) the invention of Liquid Paper.
LISTEN:
The Monkees – “As We Go Along”
End Hits: This week it’s the Monkees, next week we are covering the Heights. Seriously, how do you talk to an angel?
Nice Monkees song choice. That’s my go-to track when trying to convert a skeptic. It also helps to mention that Neil Young and Ry Cooder played on it.
