Cha Cha Cha Dance the Night Away

 

The cat is hungry and is doing the sitting on the table beside the desk and staring, but not staring at me thing. 

I also kind of want another cup of coffee.

Maybe I just type less.

 


2000 -  Dance 'til your Baby is a Man

 

The album kicks off with the song "Unicorns" which is a sad tale of sexual dysfunction.

(Remember the "Mezcal" single cover?) 

 

The whole thing is otherwise all minor chords and sad tales of longing and sexual frustration. 

I feel like I've lived a lot of this album.

It ends with a song called "Little Leaning Tower" which bookends things. (though locally Leaning Tower is also the name of a pizza place in South Minneapolis which has a small bar that lots of people misspent their time at.)

But I especially like the slow ballad "Cha Cha Cha" on this one.

"... It's time to wow the two 

giggly girls you've seen in your classes

One is named Kitten. And one has cat's glasses..."

  'Cuz it's 7/11. Get it? Huh?    Something in French (1995) Oh dear. I don't appear to have made my own scans for this. AND it's packed away in a box still. Sorry for the shitty graphics.

  So here were are. The deal is that I've got too much fucking stuff that I think people ought to hear and not enough time or space in which to do it on one blog. I've also been in the Twin Cities for a long ass time and have seen, heard and played with so many really good bands that it seems a shame that nobody has heard them. So I've made this even dumber blog thing to flog the local tomfoolery for your dancing and dining pleasure. Even in Minnesota, they could really give a rat's ass about your local band until you get enough recognition somewhere else that they'll proudly claim you as "From Minnesota". I mean, if you take someone iconic like Bob Dylan, who generally needs no introduction, he's inevitably referred to as "Minnesota Native Bob Dylan" any time he's brought up on local media. It's kind of annoying, but leads us into this inaugural post. Soft Rock (2002) Once upon a time there was a band called Lifter Puller . They exis...

 Well, it's later the same night and I finally killed that jug of local gin I'd bought this summer. Twin Town Music Yearbook Volume Four (2001) Tracklist at Discogs Another one where I don't know where to start. So I won't. Just listen already. Suffice it to say that this one has a number of things that have caused me to flip through many a local bin searching for long forgotten goodness and bunch of adds to the old wantlist.
