NEWS!!!
There will be a free mp3 of "Meike" by FLAKE MUSIC up on the
Abercrombie & Fitch site for the next week or two
http://www.abercrombie.com/anf/music/index.html . Magnet Magazine
recently reviewed the reissue of their 1997 debut album "When You
Land Here, Its Time To Return" and pointed to this track as the
bridge between James, Marty, Jesse, and Neal's newest venture THE
SHINS and their earlier incarnation as FLAKE MUSIC. The original
rocking Superchunk-esque version of "Meike" appeared on their very
first 7" (when they were still known as FLAKE), which came out right
before they hit the road and met up with team Omnibus for the first
time, playing a basement show at the Skyscraper band-house in Davis
with Shove, Maxiwagon, and Henry's Dress. The rest is history. This
version of "Meike" is the toned down, heartbreaking album version
that hinted at greater things to come for the Albuquerque foursome.
Here's a nice write up in Pop Matters about THE CAVE INS (now known
as "THE CERAMIC ISLES")
