Pat MacDonald and The Essentials, Essentialist Propaganda, 1983 on Counter-Pop

Pat MacDonald would go on to be one half of Timbuk 3 with his wife Barbara Kooyman, listed here as Barbara K. MacDonald. “Too Much Sex (Not Enough Affection” from this EP also was later on Eden Alley in 1988.

Pat MacDonald and The Essentials put out one full length album and this EP, which was recorded in Chicago. (The MacDonalds formed Timbuk 3 in Madison Wisconsin before relocating to Austin).

I was super excited to find my copy at Antone’s Records in Austin TX – so far as I know (or discogs knows) there’s only been one pressing.

Listening to melancholy acoustic covers of 80s and 90s tune on an overcast Saturday. Lots of things I could be doing, but none of them feel particularly compelling.

Talking on telephones
Cross time zones
Paying the futility bill
Praying for rain
Punching clocks
Changing the world like I change my socks

Now I'm listening to "A Hundred Lovers" by Timbuk 3 (1995)

Timbuk 3, Eden Alley, 1988 on I.R.S. Records

Timbuk 3 was the stage name for the duo of Pat MacDonald and Barbara K. MacDonald (nee Barbara Kooyman, aka Barbara K), as it evolved out of Pat MacDonald & The Essentials. They formed in Madison Wisconsin (later relocating to Austin Texas) and put out six albums, of which this was their second.

I love their songwriting: clever, punny, […]

Hallo zusammen! Heute ist ein guter Tag: ich hatte heute einen Probearbeitstag, an dessen Ende ein Jobangebot für eine Stelle, die man extra für mich geschaffen hat, stand. Nach fast 3 Monaten Bewerbungsmarathon, GEIL!

Zur Feier des Tages also: Musik! Und zwar ein schönes Gute-Laune-Lied aus Sex Education (ausnahmsweise mal kein Metal):

#Timbuk3 - The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
