Millimeters Mercury, "Not Too Fast"
When a bunch of my old students went off to college in Chicago — hi Katherine, Jared, Mia, Jen L., Tom G., etc. — I really wanted to make them a good Chicago mix, but it just didn't work out. I had Sufjan Stevens and Ryan Adams, Liz Phair and Rhett Miller, Wilco and Soul Coughing. But I still hadn't come across Canasta or Millimeters Mercury (mmHg, for my wife and her Ph.D. science friends) — especially "Not Too Fast." What a great song! Part of the Mr. Hyde Records crew, the now-defunct Millimeters Mercury has since split into a bunch of other bands, like Cola Wars. Check out the band's website for their math rock discography, including about 30 additional free downloads.
