Like the song
says, "Today it is My Birthday," so I choose
a song that relates both to the list and me personally.
The Magic Mirror wasGregory VanHausen
on rhythm guitar and harmonica, Molly Lamont on drums,
Neil Hamilton on lead guitar and D. Ross Lederman on bass.
Since recording this song, Molly has moved onto the Rosenstiel
School of Marine and Atmospheric Science where she
is studying Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry, and Greg
got married and moved to Kent, MI. Neil and Ross are currently
experimenting with electronic music under the band name
prePrionic.
Current Lake
Holiday frontman Brad Davis was in the town of Lansing
to help The Magic Mirror record their never-released EP
and during a break recorded this track by Synthetic Socks
for the Teenbeat Mailing List Tribute CD. She had Brad
record the vocals after only two listens and Molly thought,
"he did a straight-up job."
According to the Synthetic Socks (TB
15) cassette itself, “Aaron Freeman & Synthetic
Socks were chosen from 7 or 8 demo tapes” that were
received by TeenBeat. In 1987, the debut cassette from
Aaron Freeman (who later went on to form Ween) was released.
The track was recorded on Molly's birthday
(Feb 14th 2001) in East Lansing, MI by the Debris Mobile
Unit.
Amateurs on Plastic was
given the honourary TeenBeat discography number 344 |
