OPO: Mekons

it's really good - I have almost all their albums, only missing ME now I think, plus that Mekons 77 thing, can't believe I missed this altho to be fair it's from 2016

I did not mention itt that I finally got to see them a second time - the first time was an off night in Portland OR in 1992. this time was a sold out show in Seattle in summer 2019, and they were everything I could have wanted and more. I also had too much to drink and got sick later, but thankfully I remember everything up to the encore, then it gets hazy

I recently watched the Revenge DVD documentary, and was struck (speaking of Mekons 77) how close they all still seemed to be, even the ones who left in the early 80s.

I see Jon Langford is over in England and did a BBC interview re Mekons “Where Were You.” Also the Mini-Mekons are doing gigs in Brighton and London. Also Jon Langford and the Bright Shiners are doing gigs there and then in the US in June.

The Jon Langford and the Bright Shiners album came out in April.

I like the Langford and Bright Shiners album on my first listen ( while doing other stuff in the house).
