I still haven't listened to everything they've released (& probably never will), & the ones I have I've heard in the wrong, completely random order... but I find that I prefer them (& that they make just as much "sense") that way.<br /><br />I'm listening to the remaster of Curse as I type, & it sounds better than ever, especially Tom Greenhalgh's eeriely gorgeous "Lyric", one of my favourite songs in the entire Mekons' canon, I think?<br /><br />The Mekons are an often magnificent, & always inspiring band. Long may they reign / rain. :)ROOKSBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671866914636998375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318682516170687967.post-82590143032494577702013-11-22T17:44:49.843-06:002013-11-22T17:44:49.843-06:00"It's never too late to discover the Meko..."It's never too late to discover the Mekons."<br /><br />Wise words! Fear & Whiskey is great. And I have soft spot for Curse of the Mekons. I think Jon Langford's Skull Orchard is a terrific record and a must to check out.<br /><br />Here's 100% Song from Curse of the Mekons<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raxD_J_qoGsEdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149439864339580053noreply@blogger.com
