Elvis Needs Boats: Free Mojo Nixon Tunes on Amazon, Creamy Video Bonanza

Posted by Sean Maloney on Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 4:00 PM

Mojo & Skid, Bo-Day-Shus!!! and Otis. Those are the Mojo albums I would download from Amazon if I had to pick just three. I've been asked this a couple of times already, so I figured I'd cut you off at the pass. Luckily, I did not have to pick just three and was able to pick pristine digital copies to supplement my rather tattered copies of everything except Prairie Home Invasion, his classic collaboration with Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, which was going to cost $9.99 that my punk ass doesn't have. (Damn you, Jello, you capitalist swine!!!) After the jump, a bunch of videos that will explain the man--arguably the most important musician of the 1980s and the best part of the cinematic masterpiece Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever--and his genius more than words ever could.

He changed the name from "kill Don Henley" to "kill Michael Bolton" after Henley got on stage and sang the chorus with him. He played "lets go burn ole nashville down",cowritten by Jello at the end about 8 or 9 years ago. Not many people were there but he didn't really give a shit. It's good your giving him props!

I saw him at 328 way back when. One of the most insanely fun shows I've ever seen.
