for the first three mercury rev records i was a pretty mild mannered fan. i dug em, but i just always felt there was something missing or something i couldnt connect with. then they released deserter’s songs. where their first three releases were much like the long strange shroom trips, deserter’s songs was/is like a waltzing innocently into a child’s nightmare. even with this underlying sense of wickedness, deserter’s songs is a beautiful record and as far as i’m concerned, there’s no other record quite like it. a true classic.

here they are playing at the corner hotel in melbourne on 9.30.99. it was broadcasted on 10.18.99 on jjj – i am presuming that its an australian radio station.
