You've also seen the end of "It Conquered The World".  One of my favorite
speeches in all of cinema.

Start at a record store and buy everything they have by MOA? and
Servotron.  Honestly, you couldn't possibly regret buying any of them.

That is "Destroy all Astromen!", which is a fantastic and classic MOA? album,
especially for those who have a soft spot for the more "surfy" side of MOA?.
However, you already have a better version of the "Love Theme" on
"Transmissions". On the "Destroy" version, Starcrunch sounds as sleepy as Joel
when he says "Croooow!".

Get out and see them live at your earliest opportunity.  It will change the
way you listen to live music forever.  Warning: after seeing MOA? live,
just about everybody else suddenly SUCKS live. (Sorry, Grant, I used the
"sucks" word again).  Just be careful, a MOA? concert crowd is nowhere near
as civilized as a MST3K Conventio-con crowd.  These guys landed in the south,
not the mild-mannered midwest.
