Man o man. I hope no one calls crap on this one.

not crap!!!

The most endearing thing about the Mummies to me is listening to someone putting and taking off the record stylus on "mummies play their own records."

It is an excellent gag: NOT CRAP.


However...

spending your entire career shitting on CDS, and then post-humously putting out a compilation CD: CRAP.

I'm gonna say CRAP because schtick rock rarely works over time. I don't know if I've ever sat down with a Mummies record, but they do that kind of lo-fi garage rock thing and I'm getting a little tired of that thing. I'm feeling ornery today, too.

CRAP CRAP CRAP!

I bet some Mummies would cheer you up!

Well, I've sat down with a LOTTA Mummies records and your thoughts eerily echo my own. Crap. Not CRAP, but yeah, Crap.

I've never really thought of them as a schtick band. They just dressed up like mummies and called themselves the mummies.

not crap...one of my favorites! I hate to actually see a great band like this a topic....because you will get a person that never really listened to them or never heard of them before even post a "crap" vote just to do it! Like they know!

I had to bump this one.


I love the Mummies.

They are indeed great.

I was at a party last year. The host said "Alex you play music, [dude here] plays in The Mummies."
NO WAY!
I had had a good year of meeting musicians I liked in strange situations, but this was pretty odd, and the guy was kind of arty - he had on one of those Afghanny hats like jazz bass players wear.

I said I really thought "Learn To Unga Bunga" was a great title. He nodded slowly, eyes widening.
"So...we should call a song that...or something?"
"Hmmm...wrong 'Mummies?'"

They are a world music band from Richmond.
Part of me WANTED this artsy dude to be a Mummy. Volvo driving, non-profit employed, potter (or something) by day, MUMMY rocker by night.
