Album of the Week – April 12th, 2015, The Minus 5 – “Dungeon Golds”

Seriously, everyone who has contributed to this Album are legends in their own right. After , I picked up this Album on Vinyl, my son asked me , who are all the old guys pictured on the inner gatefold , and the answer to that question is a history of some of the best of my generation.

The Minus Five- Michael Nesmith

The Minus Five is an indie rock band featuring Scott McCaughey and R.E.M's Peter Buck (and others). Yesterday Scott posted this new song, which is a rad tribute to Michael Nesmith. I think it's pretty great.

My pal Bucks Burnett wrote an epic poem called "Michael Nesmith". I didn't really understand it but I like things that I don't understand - so I made it a lot longer and put in a lot of my own mystical feelings about the man. Then I strummed it and sang it - that was the easy part. I've loved Nez since the Monkees days, and have been a big fan of his solo work. I am thrilled that he is embarking on a rare U.S. solo tour starting now (March 21, 2013), and thought it'd be cool to pay tribute by putting this song up into the ether. Don't be afraid. It's a small taste of the forever forthcoming Minus 5 album. Go see Michael Nesmith if he comes to your town! I know I will.
