Host: Mal Thursday
In a self-referential variation on the "Songs the Lyres Taught Us" series, Mal spins the original versions of 29 songs that he covered with his band the Malarians (the American garage band, not the Spanish ska band) between 1984 and 1990, including several that have been revived for the band's reunion tours in 2010. Dedicated to the memory of Slater Awn (1963-1994).
The Malarians' LP catalog has been reissued by Chunk Archives and is available on mp3 from iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and other leading digital retailers, and on CD from The Malarians Online Superstore and on the swag table at Mal's gigs.
Presented in Living Monophonic Sound.
