Mice on Mars

Mouse on Mars arrived just in time for me to embrace them as my Black Dog substitute. Up until "Glam" I was utterly bewitched by them. However they must have ditched the hazy bong-loads in 1999 (around the "Niun Niggung" LP from which I only ventured as far as the twelve inches "Distroia" and "Disk Dusk") and switched to Cocaine.

I understand they had a really bad experience with Hollywood, was it Robert Wagner's son or something, and a movie deal falling through, Glam was to be the Soundtrack, and maybe that had something to do with them changing direction. It's a shame because they really fell off the radar, you can't keep on doing the same thing forever though can you? Not so sure about the Von Sudenfed thing.....
