Some recent good stuff from Forkcast:
• Gruff Rhys – “Candylion” from Candylion, out now on Rough Trade. It’s the dude from Super Furry Animals. (fr0k)
• The Ponys – “Poser Psychotic” from Turn the Lights Out, out now on Matador. (fr0k)
• The Rakes – “The World Was a Mess But His Hair Was Perfect” from Ten New Messages out now in the U.K. (fr0k)
• Ghostface Killah – “Chunky” from J-Love Street Savior Pt. 5, out now. (fr0k)
• Dinosaur Jr – “We’re Not Alone” from Beyond, due May 1 on Fat Possum. (fr0k)
• The Mooney Suzuki – “99%” from Have Mercy due due out June 19 on Elixia. (fr0k)
Is it possible that The Mooney can get back on track? They really messed up that with that last one.
The new album is pretty good. A lot of acoustic stuff, surprisingly. They’ll probably never go back to being the MC5, but I bet they’re still worth seeing in concert…
I’d like to hear more, I guess they got a new label or something, all the links to tracks I can find are dead.
I mean, they really really, put me off with that last album, but they were better live, and they used to be sooo good, I’ll give ’em another chance.
