Music This Week's Mercury Music Section

Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you work on your slam dunking skills. #6, the one with the beer-chugging, is easily my favorite. I could watch that all day, every day.

The Prids somehow walk away from a horrific touring accident (see above photo), but vow to carry on.
LISTEN:







The Prids - "Molest the Outer Heart"

Owen (Kinsella alert!) tours with new songs and a desire not to sleep on your floor. Huh, that's a pretty uppity attitude for a dude who also plays in a Fugazi cover band. Ian MacKaye would sleep on my floor, after lecturing it about moshing. That made no sense.
LISTEN:







Owen - "The Sad Waltzes of Pietro Crespi"

All the old punks in the house, put 'em up, put 'em up. Resist take us back to a time when Portland (and local punk music) was a scary scary place.
LISTEN:







Resist - "It's A Wonderful Life"

Harvey Milk dust-off the bruising avant-metal that sounds like this picture looks. Seriously, if every band photo was like that, I'd be a much happier person.
LISTEN:







Harvey Milk - "The Boy With Bosoms"

End Hits: "The Boy With Bosoms," the "Boy With the Thorn in His Side," the "Boy Without a Girl," the "Boy With a Moon & Star on His Head," the "Boy With (100) Hands," we can keep going...
