News This Week's Mercury Music Section
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 10:18 AM
Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you think about that missed loved connection at the screening of Twilight: New Moon. Some might find this creepy, but I think this guy is a real keeper.
Dear diary: If I don't get on stage and hug Morrissey I swear to God to I will cut myself.
LISTEN:
Morrissey - "Munich Air Disaster 1958"
Vic Chesnutt has two brand new albums and cooler friends than you and I will ever have. These include the members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, and Fugazi's Guy Picciotto that assisted him on At the Cut, plus the enigmatic Jonathan Richman that helped with Skitter on Take-Off. My friends won't even help me move.
LISTEN:
Vic Chesnutt - "Coward"
A former product of Las Vegas, Rex Marshall of Mattress escaped the strip and now keeps the "dystopian torch ballads" burning.
LISTEN:
Mattress - "Light My Life"
Alan Lomax went to Haiti and all he got was this excellent compilation of lost recordings from that troubled country. Oh, and he also got a T-shirt.
LISTEN:
Le Roux Chay-o-pye - "Papa Gede Kenbe-M" (from Alan Lomax in Haiti)
