Let's Keep This Going

 

So it's been a few weeks since last I tossed a bunch of crap in the queue. It's easier, I suppose, with this particular specialized blog since there's a more limited pool to draw from and I'm only about a month ahead of myself as far as throwing posts together. Regular flavor is Swinging Singles Club is still queued up months and months ahead which kind of takes some of the urgency out of digitizing things. Not that I've really felt the urge lately. Late winter doldrums.

However I have been pretty obsessively buying up as much local Twin Cities music as I can find which is a pretty impressive amount of stuff for a midsize Midwestern area. There's like three dozen NOS singles I just ordered about ten minutes ago. But time is running out to find a lot of it before it's swallowed by the mists of time. Pick it up now while it's cheap and available or regret it later.

It's just how I'm coping with being cooped up for a year and getting sick.

But anyway.

Let's get back to the real reason you're here.
 

Obscure music.


1996 - Penetrate


Since the last couple of posts this February were by February why don't we continue with yet more shoegazing goodness. 

This time out we present the dreamy space sounds of Colfax Abbey.

I may have put this out of order with their other full length. I'm posting both, so it doesn't really matter in the long run, I suppose. 

 

This is an instrumental record and all the more made for listening in headphones while rocking gently back and forth.

So grab your cans, your bong and prepare your mind to get spacey.

  '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. This is the debut by Voodoo Love Mint. It's rock and roll and kind of loud.  You like loud rock and roll don't you? Well, don't you?

  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.
