News This Week's Mercury Music Section
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 9:08 AM
Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you stalk Pavement, who is practicing right this very second within Portland city limits. First person to bring me a lock of Bob Nastanovich's hair "wins" this Mudvayne DVD that is sitting on my desk.
Van Dyke Parks! The other man behind Smile, and countless underappreciated solo records, is making a rare performance next week. You are officially excited.
LISTEN:
Van Dyke Parks - "Palm Desert"
The intimate bedroom sounds of Cars & Trains. I can't believe we cropped the cat out of his promo photo. Such blatant Tabby disrespect shall not stand!
LISTEN:
Cars & Trains - "Asleep On A Train"
When not busy "redefining psychedelic" music, San Francisco's Sleepy Sun are plotting a move out to the country. You know what they don't have in the country? Mission burritos. You people are insane.
LISTEN:
Sleepy Sun - "New Age"
Who is your favorite ginger-topped member of the Parson Red Heads? No, Danny Bonaduce does not count.
LISTEN:
Parson Red Heads - "Ram On" (Paul McCartney cover)
Plus, our local music column Our Town Could be Your Life looks at the fascinating, and prolific, world of Into the Woods.
