"Lullaby for the Working Class
Spare, mellow, almost ambient alt-country band from the late 90s.
I'm almost embarrassed that I'm only discovering them now.
Unbelievably great.
Some loose personnel associations with Bright Eyes.

That is some kind of awesome. There are 30 more years worth of rock in those guys, I know it. They're doing this incredible invitational tour in Oz, which I would be at, if it were only... on this continent. Dammit.
Not only does it include the Gurus, but also the Sonics, Fleshtones, Redd Kross, 5,6,7,8's, Died Pretty and a load more.

He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt.
