That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate by Mission of Burma (1982)


Most songs, even most great songs that I would go on to love, take a few listens for me to appreciate. However, there have been a handful of maybe twenty songs that have immediately imprinted themselves on the pleasure center in my brain. Examples include Been Caught Stealing by Jane's Addiction, Sabotage by the Beastie Boys, and Fell In Love With a Girl by the White Stripes. That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate is another.

Boston's Mission of Burma only released one proper album in their initial incarnation from '79-83. Here is the last song on that album and it is quite a piece of work.
