rob recently asked what we're digging this summer. Over the past 48 hours I've been digging "Mercury" by Automatic ever since I heard them on WFMU. Do you like punk rock girls? Do you like punk rock girls who have a fetish for the Go-Gos, so much so that they named themselves after a Go-Gos song? Do you like punk rock girls who purr over synthed-out basslines and Chemical Brothersesque beats? The answers should be yes, yes, and yes--if you have a no in there anywhere you're doing it wrong. If you're doing it right you'll dig "Mercury" too.
And of course they're on Stones Throw.

interesting. wonder what the significance of the green libation might be.
ReplyDeleterootsy, as mentioned last week re dan tyminski, you might also be interested in hearing i get to play golf w/him tomorrow.
I dig them. They remind me of Bauhaus. Probably because the drummer is the daughter of the drummer from Bauhaus. We should do a feature on the bands featuring offspring from 80's bands.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the green stuff is mercury? Or oobleck? Or they're drinking the Kool-Aid? Speaking of Kool-Aid, did anyone else watch The Studio? I should do a post on that.
ReplyDeleteInteresting track. Not sure I love it, but I'll give it an airing on the big speakers with some doobage later and see what I think.
ReplyDeleteWe're doing a small job at the print shop - a funeral program for a guy's mother. He brought in a typed up page that we had to scan, ocr the text, and format. It converted his text exactly as he had it.
Earlier he reported that the last name was wrong (just as he had it), and the latest is he wants to replace "called by Lord and Savior" to "called by Lard and Savior". I just don't know what to do about that one. Maybe it's a joke, but I'm flummoxed.
Maybe she died from Crisco-induced heart disease?
ReplyDeleteCrisco ain't lard, it's shartenin'
ReplyDeleteI just sent this email to this dude. I'd like to be surprised at the stupidity of our country, but that horse left the barn a long time ago.
ReplyDelete"Robert,
I want to double check – you want it to say Lard (as in rendered pork fat) and Savior, instead of Lord and Savior? Please confirm."
