News This Week's Mercury Music Section
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 11:09 AM
Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you are getting banned from a Black Eyed Peas concert due to your religious beliefs. Finally, a good reason to convert to Islam.
Sure, they no longer look like sexy Brazilian witches, but few things in this world have us more excited than an Os Mutantes reunion. Jumping out windows, 35 year gaps between recordings, angry ex-members... this story as it all.
LISTEN:
Os Mutantes - "Anagrama"
Our absolutely ridiculous interview with Al Green. I refuse to speak ill of the Reverend, but my god, he is just a wee bit out there.
LISTEN:
Al Green - "Let's Stay Together"
When Menomena's Brent Knopf recorded his solo debut as Ramona Falls, he got assistance from every single musician in Portland. Well, except for you. Jeez, this is awkward. Oh, and we are giving away tickets to the band's first Portland show ever right here.
LISTEN:
Ramona Falls - "Melectric"
It's true: Heavy metal is getting old. Thankfully we have the "nasty lixx" of Sweden's Enforcer to take over once Dio breaks his hip while in the Sizzler buffet line.
LISTEN:
Enforcer - "Speed Queen"
While he might be bloggable and hyped up to the point of exhaustion, Kurt Vile is not going anywhere. Know where else he is not going? The barber shop.
LISTEN:
Kurt Vile - "Freeway"
Please stop comparing Alan Singley to Burt Bacharach. Fine, I'll start comparing him to famed 17th century German rabbi Yair Bacharach. You happy?
LISTEN:
Al Singley - "Beautiful Dayna"
