Mal Thursday is back in black (turtleneck, that is) with Part Four of "The Ballad of Mal Thursday," an episode loaded with his blood, sweat, and testosterone. Mal's return to rocking last month on the Malarians' reunion tour of route 9 has reawakened the rock n' roll animal within, and as the selections on this show demonstrate, that animal is part rooster, part cheetah, and part pig. Chunk Archives has just reissued the Malarians' LP catalog, including In the Cool Room, Know, and Finished In This Town, available for download on Amazon, iTunes, and all the usual suspects, or as limited edition CDs at The Malarians Online Superstore.
