Hey, it’s time for another one song mix!<\/p>\n

Have you heard All Tomorrow’s Parties, off the Velvet Underground’s first album?<\/p>\n

It’s a nice song, sung by Nico, kind of hard to describe — maybe formal and pounding?<\/p>\n

Anyways, I flipped when I recently heard a cover of the VU song by the 1980’s Athens, GA band The Method Actors.<\/p>\n

The Method Actors – All Tomorrow’s Parties<\/a><\/p>\n

I wasn’t aware of The Method Actors when they were actively playing. I actually discovered these guys back when I was downloading a lot of music from newsgroups in the late 90’s. <\/p>\n

I had no idea who they were, but I saw that their double-album Little Figures<\/span> was available for download. I thought to myself, “Hm. Method Actors. That’s kind of a cool name.”<\/p>\n

Don’t underestimate the fun of picking up something just because you like the name of the band, or like the album cover, or whatever. I picked up Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation ’cause I thought, “Hm, that’s a nice picture of a candle.”<\/p>\n

Anyways, The Method Actors are now one of my favorite bands. Unfortunately, I don’t have all their music. This weekend, I visited their MySpace page<\/a> and heard this amazing song.<\/p>\n

I don’t know, it’s just awesome — awesome and worthy of a one-song mix.<\/p>\n

So enjoy it (or don’t)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
