Live: The Unicorns "Hanz"

I miss this band. They really had something special. Something loveable that instantly clicked with me. And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. There's a whole fanbase of people over at the Secret Unicorns Forum that are borderline obsessive. They remind me of when I was in high school, scouring Napster for every possible unreleased Weezer track or live bootleg. And what's amazing is The Unicorns were really only around for about two years and yet they have such a devoted following. I pray that if they get back together after 7 years, they don't record a "Green Album."

So, I have a couple shows of The Unicorns on tape. I made a music video with the footage awhile back. It turns out I also have footage of a "new" Unicorns song that was never recorded. The camera work is sloppy (I had been drinking...) and I annoyingly talk over the song a couple times (I had been drinking...) but the song, Alden's introduction and the preceding conversation with J'aime Tambour still shine despite my apparent attempts to sabotage it. I offer it now to the internet community. I suppose it's mostly of interest to the mega-fans, but I think all of us can enjoy reminiscing about the only creature that became extinct twice.
