Meet Me In Saint Louis were a hell of a band and their debut and only album Variation On Swing has become a bit of a cult classic in certain circles and its easy to see why. So to celebrate its 2nd birthday I’m happy to feature this news story from their label Big Scary Monsters.
‘Thursday 24th September is MMISL Day; the 2nd anniversary of Meet Me In St Louis' debut album release. Everyone is urged to dig out their copy of the 'Variations On Swing', crank it up loud and pay their respects to this much-missed band.
To aid this process, Big Scary Monsters have re-printed one of MMISL's old t-shirt designs and are selling it, along with their 2006 debut 5 track EP, 'And With The Right Kind Of Eyes….. Get them both from http://www.bsmrocks.com/
Happy MMISL Day for Thursday!’

News from one of my favourite labels:
Big Scary Monsters have launched their our '2009 Collection', a series of four compilation CDs featuring new, rare, unreleased, live and remixed tracks from the BSM roster. Each CD is limited to just 365 date stamped copies and will be released seasonally, with the Spring Collection kicking things off in February. The compilations will be sold separately for £5 each or you can subscribe (via www.bsmrocks.com) to the whole series for £15 and receive a free collectors edition tin to hold all of the discs (photos coming soon), as well as other gifts and promotions through the course of the year.
Spring, The first in the series, is now available to pre-order and features 14 tracks including Mimas performing a wonderful cover of This Town Needs Guns hit, '26 Is Dancier Than 4', who return with 'Japanese Ultra Violence', a track which is previously unreleased in the UK. Other highlights include a massive dance remix of Pulled Apart By Horses, an exclusive album demo from Blakfish (as well as a track featuring members of the band singing a 'lounge' medley of Tubelord songs down the phone!), a brilliant old demo recording from Meet Me In St Louis, album/EP tracks from new boys Copy Haho, Wintermute and The Tupolev Ghost and loads more. As an added bonus, there are also two live videos including PABH and Blakfish playing some massive covers at a house party back in December. Most of these recordings won't be found anywhere else.
When purchasing/subscribing, let us know your preferred date and we'll do our best to stamp your CD(s) accordingly. The 'Summer Collection' will be released in May so look out for news and tracklistings for that one nearer the time at www.bsmrocks.com
