I thought at the time it had a Byrds vibe and I played it every several years, always wondering what happened to The Mice. Now I have a partial answer.<br /><br />Also, a Mice compilation CD was released recently that, I think, includes "Scooter" and some other, more obscure work. Good stuff!Michael N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14313953071196776990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-17028527056979498902010-07-08T19:48:02.729-04:002010-07-08T19:48:02.729-04:00Thanks, Andy.

I'll try to be there. And I'll check out those links, too. <br /><br />Have you heard Byzantium Transit? It's just as good as Shelter From the Smoke, which is terrific in its own right. The guy has the usual preoccupations with Dylan and The Beatles, but wow, does he merge those influences well.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-76816379419701798552010-07-08T16:21:25.346-04:002010-07-08T16:21:25.346-04:002010 has been the year of the Fox for me, too. &qu...2010 has been the year of the Fox for me, too. "Shelter from the Smoke" is my most-played record, for sure. And... he'll be at the Treehouse July 24! I've been recruiting everyone within earshot to head there with me. <br /><br />Also, a couple of cool links for oldie but goodie freebies:<br />- Over at Minimum Tillage Farming: all the "at-one-time-commercially-available mice recordings, plus the track that sat on the scat records site for download at one time, "public television." http://minimumtillagefarming.blogspot.com/2010/06/mice.html<br /><br />- The Anyway Records comp "I stayed up all night listening to records": http://panda-basics.blogspot.com/2010/04/va-i-stayed-up-all-night-listening-to.html<br /><br />(P.S. I feel ok linking to both since those Mice records are out of print and rare to find outside of ebay world, and Bela linked to the freebie of the Anyway comp himself on facebook.)Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325502503615782916noreply@blogger.com
