Mercury Rev Frittering

Not so much a band as a long, strange trip, the chaotic avant pop pranksters Mercury Rev formed in Buffalo, NY, in the late '80s. Originally comprised of vocalist David Baker, vocalist/silver pickup guitarist Jonathan Donahue, guitar shaper/single-exhaust clarinetist Grasshopper (born Sean Mackowiak), rooster-tail bass flutist Suzanne Thorpe, bass explorer Dave Fridmann, and mojo stick drummer Jimy Chambers, the sextet -- always rife with personality conflicts -- interacted with one another infrequently, and their first recordings evolved simply as a means of creating soundtracks for the members' experimental student films.

Another classic from the masters of chaos. This track off their debut encapsulates everything about them. Pop hooks, beautiful melodies, all before the tornado of choas that ensues. No one does it like them!

I do not own these recordings. I'm simply sharing them as they deserve to be heard by a much wider audience. If there is any objections to this video, please feel free to contact me and i'll remove it instead of having me banned from YouTube for appreciating and promoting the music!
