Martian Bigblock - "Dendrite Rock" b/w "Miss Tomato Pie" (Oil Capitol, 1999)

Science side: Thurston Moore is abducted by three aliens named Derek, Andrew and Mike. They allow him to retain some of the Sonic Youth guitar experimentation, but Thurston is careful not to stray too far from the surf-flavored, rock 'n' roll attack. Otherwise, he would discover the joys of paddling back to the Lower East Side while strapped to a longboard and missing four limbs crucial to the task. Pie side: It's Wayne Kramer's turn to be seat-belted in the saucer of this out-of-space trio. By reuniting with his long-lost earthly companions Rob Tyner and Fred "Sonic" Smith, Brother Wayne puts about 62 billion frequent flier miles between himself and the Missy Elliott, Ginuwine and Wu-Tang records he feels are "the cutting edge in music today." Cutting edge: Say it ain't so, bro? Guess that explains the handle "MC5."
