Screw It Again, Here's a Compilation

 

I'm hungry. There's a bunch of shredded BBQ chicken in the fridge that I plan on turning to BBQ chicken enchiladas later. But I might just make a sandwich for now...

 

 1997 - The Squealer Presents...Shuffle This

The Squealer was a short-lived local free rag. Couldn't have survived for more than a few years. But it did release this much better than you could expect document of the Twin Cities music scene circa 1997.

You got original MN punk rocker heroes, Suicide Commandos, Hip Hop, Jazz (Bill Lang was the house sax player at the bar I used to work at), Shoegaze, Rockabilly, Comedy, Folk, Rock, Pop and all sorts of stuff in between like Own who were a trio with electric cello & violin and a drummer. (the cello player was part of the quartet that played for Sunday Brunches at the original Loring Cafe)

There's also a few scattered more notable names among the proceedings. The late Grant Hart's Nova Mob, Soul Asylum and Perfect, which was a post-Replacements band by Tommy Stinson.

Rare tracks all around and names that will pop up in the future.
Consider this a preview of a few things to come.
