babydontdance:

MM Rarities Megapost. I included as much info I have about the tracks. If you know more about these songs (or have songs I’ve missed) please share!


Mother Era - I may create a separate post for this CD with photos of artwork/insert/ect

 ‘Mother’ tracks - These tracks were on the original Mother CD but were removed for the Touch Up release:

Mother Tracklisting ::

Dirty Town / Love & Truth / Oh Ana / Little Hands / Polynesia / Angry Sea / Train Of Thought / Verbatim / Tic Toc / Ball Cap / Fat Kids / Neighbour / Babies / Mamma Told Me // hidden track – “Home Recording”

All/most of the songs are the same recordings used on Touch Up.  Dirty Town is a different one but it sounds almost exactly the same…I had to listen a few times to even be sure it was a different recording.

Touch Up Era - None that I’m aware of.


O My Heart Era:

  • Heart Heavy - Bonus iTunes track - available with purchase of entire album
  • Love to Death - Written during the OMH-era but never recorded, was played live once on CBC3. Listen here.

  • Wrecking Ball Live Outro (does anyone know if it has a real title?) - Can be found tacked onto the end of many (not not all) live performances of Wrecking Ball. Here’s a high-quality audio version.    The source for this was taken down but I saved the MP3. Send me an ask if you want it :)
  • Stay Here  - Written for a  2009 Sun-Rype commercial,

 

Eureka Era

  • Carve a Name - iTunes bonus track
  • In The Wings iTunes bonus track
  • Had It All  - One of the tracks that didn’t make the album.The full track was released as a free download on Oct 10, 2011 and is available here.
  • Forever And A Bit- Recorded for Eureka but never used, this track was finally released for the #MMmob on June 4, 2012. Download on facebook here (or message me if you don’t use facebook and I’ll email it myself).
  • Eureka - Played live frequently before the album came out, this song was eventually scrapped and never recorded. A part of it was used as the outro for “Calm Me Down”. The only known recording of the song is here (Update - The song was played at the Dec 30 19+ show. I recorded it in Calgary. Video)
  • I’m OK In The Dark   - A short clip of this song was featured in this video blog . // Update Jan 2012: There is no full version. This was recorded only for the vlog.
  • Hit Er Miss Christmas - An original Christmas song written for the CBC Indie Christmas Concert. You can see a video of the performance here and download the song for free here.

itsjusttheworld

was kind enough to send me a copy! It’s very jazzy. She was working on a new solo album in 2008 before being picked up by Mother Mother. Her most recent solo performance was January 2011.


Guest spots - Jasmin has lent her voice to several projects including:


Jeremy Page - Bassist for former member Kenton Leowen’s band The Crackling .

Former Members

 

Kenton Leowen - The Crackling. Kenton, MM’s old drummer, has a project called “The Crackling”. I’ve heard a few tracks and I quite like it. Check him out at http://www.thecrackling.com/  **Update** Jeremy Page used to play with them! I did not know. He occasionally joins the band for Vancouver performances.

Debra-Jean Creelman - Debra-Jean and the Means. Debra, MM’s old vocalist, moved on in 2008 to work on a solo career. I recently purchased her EP and really like it. As of late, she’s been fronting a Vancouver-based cover band called Debra Jean And The Dreams. Find her at http://www.debra-jean.com/

– I will keep editing and adding to this. If you have anything to contribute, please do. Enjoy!
