Sorry for no post yesterday, had the LCD Soundsystem concert to go to. I'll make it up to everyone with today's post though. Meet the Mekons, a first wave punk group from Leeds. Meeting at the University of Leeds, they formed out of the same group of kids who would go on to form Gang of Four and Delta 5. The Mekons sound is a hard one to describe, with people often denoting a "country" sound. While this certainly isn't George Strait, many of these tracks have all the twangy jangle and heartbreak of a good country song. I picked "Rock 'N' Roll" up on vinyl on a whim, and it really hasn't come off the turntable since. Listen listen listen: http://www.mediafire.com/?zde2iytwdz1
