I started collecting any piece of his legend that I could…some true, some likely not. He had hand-built all of his gear. He had broken his back. He was part of experimental surgery that left him in lifelong pain.\u003cbr\u003e“He was a dancer. He was still kicking around making some of the oddest and most contrary-to-contemporary-popular-norms type of music. (A man after my own heart.) And then I heard Goodby Sunball, recorded and released in 1974, the year I was born. I had and have a very deep connection with this set of songs. I wasn’t sure why, but when I finally met Michael, I understood. He was kind and seemingly a pretty regular guy. But he was also a weirdo. A rare bird, waving the true freak music flag, and it didn’t matter what kind of music he made, I loved it all. \u003cbr\u003e“So, this record was recorded as a way to reboot and reconnect with some songs that have heavily inspired me over the years. It was hard to pick from his vast catalog, so I just sort of jumped in, with Tom Dolas, Nick Murray, and Brigid Dawson as my band (along with a bevy of others along the way) and these are the tunes that stuck to the wall. I will forever be grateful to Mr Yonkers for bringing me a little joy with his music and inspiring weirdos everywhere.”\u003cbr\u003e    – John Dwyer, Feb 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"playlist\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGoodbye Sunball\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI Tried\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMicrominiature Love\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSold America\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A5\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmile A While\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSunflower\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLovely Gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Thunder Speaks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn My Heart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57428835828056,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/8324\/6424\/files\/damaged-bug-bug-on-yonkers-new-vinyl-lp-669189.jpg?v=1780467638","url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/damaged-bug-bug-on-yonkers-new-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
