We Don't Have To Call It Love, Let's Call It Swimming

KEXP's DJ El Toro loves him some Martha and the Muffins:

My passion for Martha and the Muffins is no secret. The name of my weekly program, “In Between Sleep And Reason,” comes from the first track on Side 2 of their 1984 album Mystery Walk. Heck, the original invitation from our KEXP online content guru to blog here came after he peeped something I posted about a M+M-related solo project.

Martha and the Muffins, opening for Psychedelic Furs, Ontario Theater, 1982, a windowpaned top ten night of my life. Saw them the next night at 930 too, descending still from the night before. This is the Ice Age is still in the perma-rotation.

New Martha and the Muffins?

Imagine my delight then, when I read last week that Danseparc is finally being released on CD in early August. With bonus tracks! (And, better still, promise a brand new album due later this year.)

Lordy, that's got a 99% chance of jeebusdon't, which doesn't diminish Martha and the Muffins place in my heart's history (and this guy's).
