WRAP MUSIC

Knowing my predilection towards quick and easy posts and my willingness to just throw anything up here to keep this thing chugging down the road, I'm kind of amazed that I haven't ever posted the Mummies. It's such a no-brainer, particularly at Halloween.

One thing you need to get over about the Mummies is their get-ups. You might say that it's a gimmick. I say it's immaterial. If they want to get all tangled up in that shit, fine, good for them. How many of you wear the same stuff to work every day? Let's end it there. These guys are fighting the good fight. Raw garage, cheaply recorded. Not the retro every-detail-in-place type. More like the Wailers or Sonics playing a frat house after the school burned down, and the jocks and academics went running home to Mommy, leaving nothing but beer, busted up equipment and drunk horny kids. It is sloppy, it is of questionable fidelity, and it isn't for everyone. But I can get all up into this stuff. This kind of noise is humbling. It is so much the essence of what rock 'n' roll really is and should be, without regard to polish, it makes half of your record collection look silly.
