Monday Morning Mess 11: The On Fires

Today's music comes from The On Fires, an Australian band described as the "bastard child of the B-52s and the Sex Pistols" that recently wrapped up a tour of North America. Ye Olde Podcaster missed a chance to see them perform in Cambridge, Mass., on account of the public transportation schedules. Hopefully next time.

Here's what you'll hear today (right-click to download MP3 or to stream it in a new tab or window):

1. "Arms Open"
2. "Sorry Now"
3. "Melancholy (intro)/Melancholy"

(Total play time: 12:38)

My thanks to the good people at Ariel Publicity for the music in today's Monday Morning Mess (and, in fact, all the songs in this coming Wednesday's episode of the Mental Nomad Podcast). You'll be hearing a LOT of Ariel artists in coming weeks and months; I've received so many packages from their clients since getting to my dorm that the mailroom has accidentally put "You have a package" slips meant for other people in my mailbox, assuming all packages are meant for me.

If you like what you've heard here, support the band by purchasing some of their music. And if you're feeling REALLY generous, you can make a Paypal donation to help cover hosting fees for my podcasts.
