Grinderman "Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man"


Short Version: If you are being chased by the cops and you are driving an American sports car from the 1970’s, this might be the song to help you get away.

Long Version: One of the first posts on this site many millennia ago was from Grinderman’s first cd. It is another burner of a song called “No Pu$$y Blues.” This is the side project of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I don’t much care for that band’s songs, but these selections give me the urge to rob a convenient store without a ski mask on, just for sport. You are low on gas, 35 miles from the Mexican border, and thinking to yourself that Thelma and Louise took the sissy way out. This album, called “Grinderman 2” (I don’t get it) has a song for going to court, one for getting convicted, another for your first walk to your cell and a couple options for when you decide to finally break out. Now if you will excuse me my car is running out back.
