The Mae Shi

Are you a schizophrenic that is happy for no reason? The Mae Shi feels your pain, and they have written some music specifically for you and that adorable Russian child dressed as a scarecrow that follows you around but nobody else can see. If you don't like it, at least pretend you do so as not to hurt their feelings. But I certainly do.

The great tragedy of The Mae Shi is that they were ten years late for a sweet spot on the Streetfighter soundtrack.

Their split with Rapider Than Horsepower is out on Strictly Amateur Films Records (films records?). "Rapider Than Horsepower" reminds me of that "faster miles per hour" line from the Modern Lovers' song. Which is a problem because that Jonathan Richman is awesome and Rapider Than Horsepower is not Jonathan Richman. i.e. not awesome. Not terrible, not awesome.
