96 tears, for you
fellow fans of 60’s garage rock will be delighted to learn that after watching the ‘agency‘ movie, my dearling friend edwina, aka mme. awesomepants dds, found an ? and the Mysterians ‘best of’ album on the interwebs, that I am ever-so-very-thrilled to be able to share with you here.
From wikipedia about the front man, Question Mark:
“The band’s frontman and primary songwriter was Question Mark... He claimed (and still claims) to be a Martian who lived with dinosaurs in a past life, and he never appears in public without sunglasses. He has also claimed that voices told him he would still be performing “96 Tears” in the year 10,000.”
yay.
Apparently, they named themselves after a 1950’s japanese sci-fi movie (”The Mysterians“) that, judging by the cover alone, I must own immediately:
UPDATE: thank you to will (betheboy) for bringing it to my attention that mr. question mark’s home burned down last year, to donate to his help-fund click here.

Mr. ?’s house burned down last year and he’s been performing again to try and rebuild.
well, now I feel like an ass for givin’ it all away for free… though I’m guessing album revenue tends to go to record companies, not artists…
I will update the post with some donation stuffs.
I think that you will appreciate http://www.noamtoran.com/
