251.0. "Mighty Mighty Bosstones" by NEMAIL::CARROLLJ (Immanuel Kant was a real . . .) Wed Jun 17 1992 22:47

    Wot??  No Mighty Mighty Bosstones note??  OK - I didn't really expect
    one.  Any other fans out there??
    
    common songs -
    
    	Where'd you go?
    
    uh - that's about the only one- excellent local band - I've heard then
    described as a mix between Bim Skala Bim & Mojo Nixon.  I've yet to see
    them live, dammit, but I will soon - they play somewhere in the Boston
    area every week it seems.

    re .0
    
    You should see them live.  Along with Bim, one of the better local
    bands.  They do great covers as well as their own excellent original
    stuff.
    
    covers I've heard-
    	Sweet Emotion
    	Enter Sandman
    	Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love
    
    some other originals
    	Do Something Crazy
    	Little Bit Ugly
    	Hope I never lose my wallet
    
    Currently they have two albums (CDs) and a 'single'.  All worth the
    money (IMHO).

251.6new Ep new EP new Ep new Ep new EpNEMAIL::CARROLLJThe Bright-Eyed BoySat Apr 03 1993 17:0517
    They have a new EP out . . .
    
    	Ska-Core, The Devil and More - 6 songs, plus . . .
    
    	A hidden track ! :-):-)
    
    	after 30 minutes of silence after the last tune, is a live version
    of . . um . . I forget the name, but the one that goes "I used to never
    cry when I would think about my father . . ."
    
    	All in all, typical Bosstones - which means good Bosstones!
    
    				-Jimbo
    
    ps - I want the lighter on the cover of the CD! (and I don't even
    smoke ! ) - bad in plaid - yup . . .
    
251.7addendum, dammitNEMAIL::CARROLLJThe Bright-Eyed BoySat Apr 03 1993 17:088
    
    -sorry folks - there are really 7 songs - well, 8 with the hidden one .
    . . does that qualify as a whole album? :-)
    
    incidentally, the last two listed tracks "Drugs and Kittens" and "I'll
    Drink to That" were recorded live Dec 2nd in Boston - anybody there
    that night?

251.8REFINE::BARKERNothing is true...Everything is permittedMon Apr 05 1993 10:077
    At the show last Wednesday Dicky referred to the new disc as an EP and
    said that they released it 'cause they needed money.  He didn't say if
    they'd be coming out with anything else though.  They're always amazing
    live.  How do they always manage to do everything twice as fast live as
    they do it in the studio?
