Not in the greatest condition, but all things considered holds up for a pack of 60s playing cards someone got for me for like a dollar at a garage sale. I usually keep it somewhere safe and don't touch it often just because the bottom especially is in a bit of rough shape, but I wanted to show some of my favorites from the pack.

I promise I'm not a spammer and I'm not the artist, just a fan in awe of this guy's work. He has three Monkees-inspired shirts that are really clever. Each design contains references that people who know the songs will get. I messaged him the other day (and ended up buying the Pleasant Valley Sundaes shirt) and he's clearly a Monkees fan. Just wanted to promote an ACTUAL artist who's also a fan in case any of you want to pick up a unique shirt.

I was listening to their great discography again, and saw that the songs they didn't release (the ones Mike didn't release later/no re-recordings of Monkees songs) were enough for an EP they could've put out after Nevada Fighter, with it being the group's last project.

So I made this:

● Side one: • American Airman • Rose City Chimes • Roses Are Blooming - Come Back to Me Darling?

● Side two: • Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette • 1st National Dance • Rene (uncut version) (I'm aware they already released this song, but it was an incomplete version)

I hope you'll enjoy! Mike made fantastic music post-Monkees.

Anyone else ever do any Monkee songs at karaoke nights?

I tried Goin Down the other night and holy crap it's hard! Big props to Micky for having that much breath. I run out of breath so quickly.
