News This Week's Mercury Music Section
Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Thu, Nov 5, 2009 at 8:00 AM
Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you dress your child like a hideous mutant. Correction: an adorable hideous mutant.
David Bazan and Jesus used to be so close that they'd carve "DB + JC = 4EVAH" into the trunks of trees. But those days are no more. Bazan's wonderful Curse Your Branches recording chronicles his fall from faith. Does that mean he's a free agent? You hear that Jews? He could be ours!
LISTEN:
David Bazan - "When We Fell"
BOAT are just like us, they put their pants on one leg at a time. Except once their pants are on, they create the funnest music known to man... while we're just happy to be wearing pants.
LISTEN:
BOAT - "We've Been Friends Since 1989"
The Mountain Goats find a copy of the bible—in David Bazan's dumpster—and proceed to write an entire record with blblical verses for song titles.
LISTEN:
The Mountain Goats - "Genesis 3:23"
