...according to our Phil on Thu 06 Sep, 2007.
Midnight Mike is a new name to me. Apparently he's some dude who used to hang around with Trevor Jackson or other. I was told but then I forgot. More pressing things to think of...The A side of this quirky 7" is Be Bop A Lula and it's awful. The singer can't sing and it got a unanimous 'this is shit' in the office. If there's one thing that can bring us together it's not striving for world peace...it's shit records. The flipside is a more entertaining prospect though which is actually sung by Midnight Mike himself. It's kind of quirky oddness which appeals to me with a nice beat loaded with percussion and simplicity.... kind of sleazy too. Nice... the A side needs to die though.There are only 500 copies of this 7” available, making
it hugely collectible.
This 7” features strange and re-wired versions of Gene
Vincent & The Blue Caps and (‘Be-Bop-A-Lula’) and Snatch
(‘Amputee’) while the full album see’s Midnight Mike and
friends taking on Devo, Throbbing Gristle, INXS, Elvis,
Sabrina, Dire Straits, Roxy Music and Bo Diddley in a
drunken sing-a-long to the death.
Midnight Mike is a celebrated producer, having recorded for
Gomma, Kitsune and Output as well as remixing Colder,
Playground, Caged Baby, Munk and more.
The Republic Of Desire is the imprint from ex-Micronaut,
