You'll Have to Take my Word on It.

 

I'm very groggy still. I had a short nap and I'm having some coffee, but it's not really helping.

I got my second shot the other day and it fucked me up pretty hard. I mean, the first one got me to call into work. The second was like a 24 hour trip back to COVIDtown only, I swear, even worse.

I ended up mostly sleeping in short bursts for a day and night. Sleep for an hour, be barely awake for twenty minutes or so and then crashing again. All the while feeling like absolute death.

But according to what I've read up, if you've had COVID, the vaccine hits you a whole lot fucking harder than everyone else.

I will attest to that.

On the plus side, I'm vaccinated. The wife has had her first. The cat doesn't care.


the Red Flags (2007)


I can't seem to locate this particular disc. It's around here somewhere in one pile or another of compact discs sitting around cluttering up the place until I can get my ass to Ikea and buy some more fucking Cd shelves. I need probably at least another six feet. More if I want to put the classical discs back into the regular collection rather than sitting in a milk crate in the corner.

The reason I was looking for it in particular is that I wanted to double check some personnel for this recording. As I remember seeing before Red Flags and the previous post by Blame share a number of band members. But without the liner notes in front of me I can't totally trust my middle aged memory.

You'll have to take my word for it.

Meanwhile, it seems like the boys that did make the transition discovered the 70's and decided to rock more. 

You can take that as a recommendation.

  '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.
