"Never Been in a Riot" is reprised from the band's first 7"; "The Building" is culled from The Mekons Story. Marcus also writes about the Mekons in Ranters & Crowd Pleasers, a collection of his essays from 1977-1992 (Doubleday, 1993). Look for this stuff and more at his official website, where you can also learn more about the stage production of Lipstick Traces. It was an amazing show.... |  |
