Good ol' Mingering Mike.

Has anyone ever recorded any of Mingering Mike's imaginary songs?

I must have missed the last two posts. This is delightful.

Here's the NY times article about him.

You can find some of Mingering Mike's music recorded by the Vanguard Squad.

Thanks, eatdonuts.

I found this track, apparently by Mingering Mike himself. Lo-Fi: like a funky Daniel Johnston.

Here's Mingering Mike's myspace page.

The story behind them is heartbreakingly awesome. (Awesomely heartbreaking? That too.)
