Another Monday mornin', another mp3.
This week brings an unreleased recording from one of the best bands you've probably never heard. My Own Sweet started out in Burlington, Vermont, releasing the excellent New Strings EP, and then headed slightly south, with most of the band migrating to Boston and their drummer heading down to NYC. They kept things together long enough to record a ton of songs at Fort Apache, but packed it in before they could be mastered and released. While Kurt Herrmann focused on playing drums in Brooklyn's Pilot to Gunner, the rest of My Own Sweet continued on with a new drummer as the Disconnect, who ended up releasing even less then M.O.S. Eventually, guitarist/vocalist Tim Lauben (ex-Huffy) headed down to NYC and joined up with the Red and the Black, and fellow guitar/vocal guy Chris Kelly started playing with the Also-Rans. It was a lucky break that I got to spend time in a band with a guy I was geniunely a fan of, and if the fates are kind, the dozen or so unreleased My Own Sweet songs will at some point see the light of day. Until then, here's an unmastered mix of the song VHS.  |
