Mekons — Memphis, Egypt

Video 10 Comments

So after a week of star fu-- er I mean star grabbing, welcome to Freealonzo’s Rock Week!  This week will feature my favorite rock bands rocking out to rock music at its bone-jarring rockingest.   No lofi-emo-jazz-acoustic-goth-folk-country-pop-soul music for 7 whole days.  Can you handle it?  I think you can, in fact I know you can.  So get ready to rock because these songs go to 11!!!!!

I think it’s mandatory to start off Freeaolonzo's Rock Week with this song from the Mekons.

  2. 10. This song was without question one of the top 5 discoveries of my 80's music education at the hands of free and E-6 (and others).

    No one will ask, but here's that top 5 in no order:

    Freak Scene - Dinosaur Jr.
    Cactus - Pixies
    Memphis, Egypt - Mekons
    Here Comes a Regular - Replacements
    Teen Age Riot - Sonic Youth

  3. I remember the first time I heard Retreat from Memphis like it was yesterday. That was a good day.*
