Midnight Dragons vs. Thee Feejee Mermaids
Originally planned in the early ‘90s as a battle of the bands split 10” vinyl release, the clattering drone of Thee Feejee Mermaids bowing & grinding gongs and other metal scrape-ables, versus the sloppy rock and roll clanging of the two Midnight Dragons tunes on the flipside.
Thee Feejee Mermaids side recorded August, 1990:
Eeyore craps into a Tibetan singing bowl, adds a pinch of sparkle, snaps a Polaroid, and mails it to John H. Sununu with the title “Look What I Did.”Midnight Dragons side recorded August, 1992:
Midnight Dragon was a shitty brew marketed by shitty people. The exploitative swill is no longer sold around these parts. Neither the song "Midnight Dragon" nor the band name Midnight Dragons are intended as endorsements for that shameful piss.Due to a problem with the pressing plant (they wanted to be paid), the split 10” EP never was released. 14 years later, it is now available as a three song CD-R.
MORE WORDS: Had the 10” vinyl version not been scrapped, Thee Feejee Mermaids’ side would have consisted of an eleven- minute edited version of the tune “This Song Is Thirteen Minutes Long”. Blame the inordinate data capacity of the CD-R format for the entire 21-minute version appearing on this edition. Also, the first few copies of the CD-R featured the aforementioned 21-minute ditty sandwiched between the two Midnight Dragons rock songs. In order to appease the Continuity Cops, the three tracks have now been resequenced.
