Monday Long Song


Who amongst us hasn't, at one time or another, wondered how a two minute Ramones classic would sound if stretched out to over 10 minutes by a contemporary Kentucky based Krautrock band? I know I have. Wonder no more. Step forward Verstärker with the frankly remarkable opening salvo from a 2017 various artists tribute album, 'Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, A Ramones Reverence'. (Check out more music from the band here).

I haven't plucked up the courage to listen to this yet Swede!
But I will. Promise.

I just had a listen and it felt like I'd stepped into a parallel world!

Wow! This is something new and spectacular for me Swede. Love it and thanks for it. Like C. said - stepping into a parallel world. The soundtrack for a trip to Venus.
