Song of the Day - July 25, 2005

I hope you don't have a hangover, because this is going to hurt. Yes, it is a little rude to start a Monday morning this way, but sometimes you need a big jolt of musical caffeine to get you going. I have just the solution, The Mae Shi. In fact, I would compare them to a double espresso. Their songs are short, but they pack a potent punch. As much of my favorite music, they have been influenced by The Gang of Four, but I detect a strong Captain Beefheart influence. If you liked Frog Eyes last week, I think Mae Shi will be your cup of tea. Sorry, I meant cup of espresso. Check out their track "Power to the People." Click here to listen.
