MC 900 FT JESUS Live at Moers New Jazz Festival 1992
About 47 minutes of a live show we did in Moers, Germany on June 7, 1992. I don't think it was broadcast, but rather was shown on closed circuit TVs scattered around the festival. Someone recorded it and gave me a copy, but unfortunately they stopped the tape before the end of the set. Still, it's some of the best footage I have of the band from those days. Features Chris McGuire on reeds, Baby G on turntables, and Mitch Marine on drums.

A friend mentioned this recently. Well, she’s more than a friend, she’s an ex-girlfriend from the 80s. I hadn’t thought of it in years. My lingering impression is of a pretentious title. I hate when I’m pretentious. But maybe it’s worth looking at again. I played with a band called Telefones in the early 80s. The three Dirkx brothers and myself. We rehearsed in their Mom’s garage. Their sister ...

WHFS Parody of MC 900 FT JESUS "The City Sleeps"
Переглядів 3,2 тис.10 років тому
Back in the 90s, WHFS was a great commercial alternative station serving the Baltimore/Washington area. They played my music a lot. One day I was at the station doing an interview with Bob Waugh, their program director, to plug an upcoming show. Someone played this song for me, and of course I loved it. At the time, "The City Sleeps" was one of their most-played songs. Apparently they would thr...
But If You Go un-aired video

The lovely Karen Black appears briefly in this video directed by Melodie McDaniel. Shot in 1994(?) It never aired. I hope Melodie doesn't get pissed at me for posting this lo-fi dub of her rough cut now; it's the only copy of this I have. Anyway, Karen Black tolerated my doofus "acting" and was charming the whole day. I will love her always.

One of the mc 900 tours was completed with a combination of rental cars and air travel. The band consisted of: Chris McGuire, tenor and soprano sax, sometimes cowbell ... Jorge Garza aka Baby G, turntables ... and Chris Dirkx, drums. Oh, and Yours Truly. Anyway, this is pretty much my home movies, so you'll not see a lot of mc 900 performance here. Lane Dunlop was our road manager for these sho...

Rhubarb
Переглядів 84613 років тому
On my third album (One Step Ahead Of The Spider), there's a song called "Rhubarb." The voices on that song came from this bit of videotape that I shot in La Rochelle, France in 1992. That night we had played at a little bar/hotel, and we were unwinding after the show in our rooms upstairs from the gig. I got the urge to play around with my camera a bit, and was lucky enough to capture this conv...

    Great show and I remember when me and my Mom was that Record Tyme record store in Roseville, Michigan and she bought me hell with the lid off back in 1992 because they were playing the demo while we were browsing and I really liked what I heard and I still play that cassette tape!💯🎶🤩👌🏼

    Bought this album in 1990 just from the cover. Revisit it a lot recently. MC was dope in an alternative way before 'alternative' hip hop. The DJ on the album was dope but the show DJ here was brilliant as shown in his segment during the show. This is an excellent live show all round with the sax/clarinet player who is on point too, his licks keep inside the jazz/funk domain keeping the whole show tight. One of those groups that were a bit too far ahead of their time and under appreciated at the time. Props to the drummer too. This is a tight set!

    Soundtrack of my youth.... Interestingly...you were way before Eminem.. and you weren't talking about throwing up on yourself, but you lit the fires while the city sleeps. Also clearly you're more musically trained. I liked that sinister edge...skateboarding to alternative nightclubs was the 900ft Jam.

    "Falling Elevators" is such a great opener (both for shows and on the Welcome to My Dream album!). Similar to other folks here, I've seen y'all live twice (once in the early 90's in Austin, and a few years ago at Kessler in Dallas), hoping to do so again sometime!

    I usually hate covers, but this one is not bad. That you could share a parody of your own work, only increases my respect. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you this, but if imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, parody is at least a notch higher.
