Mekons — I Fall Asleep

New album with the Mekons! Ancient & Modern (1911-2011). So far I haven’t heard the drunken harmonica from natural, which is a bit sad because I loved that. But over all, so far, despite the more focused theme it is more diverse than Natural musically — which I suppose is a good thing since some people thought that the songs on that one was a bit too samey. I think they’re nuts though, the only drawback then was that Lu couldn’t bring all his instruments along for the drunken recording out in the woods.

I’m a Mekons’ fanboy and I think more people should listen to them. Many more. Not all the songs on the album are utter fantastic, but some are. And that’s enough for me.
