This volume, I felt, should always be remembered as the one that “came out” af...

• More Mad Mike Madness Conclusion!

  by Kogar the swinging ape January 21, 2009
  Well, here we go, the last 4 songs for this volume of More Mad Mike Madness. Song Twenty-Six: the revels – rampage – I imagine this song being played at dances and the crowd sounds in the song mingling with the actual crowd. I wonder if the kids knew it was on the record? Or if they just thought it...

  Song Six: Mickey Hawks - Bip Bop Boom – http://www.box.net/shared/8ltv5bcaf5 Song Seven: ??? – This song isn’t mentioned in the liner notes, but I got it at the WFMU record fair at the Norton table, and they had written on it that it was a Mad Mike Favorite. Great little ballad… http://www.box.ne...

  Well, here we are. This is part one of a 6 week series of songs mentioned in the liner notes of MAD MIKE MONSTERS from Norton Records. I’d like to thank Howie Pyro of INTOXICA radio for some of the samples. Also, please check out FOOL’S PARADISE on WFMU. Rex did a show on Mad Mike when the LP’s ca...
