I Got Nothing

 

Here's a compilation because I can't make a decision about who I want to share with the dozens of you who venture into this way too specific little place among the infinite worlds of porn that is the internet.

 


 'Sota Pop (1996)

A pretty decent overview of the state of state in the year of our Cthulu 1996 and one really terrible pun.

I'd type out the various people involved but most people wouldn't have a clue who or what they are. Here's a link to the Discogs page instead.

It's all pop in it's many and various flavors. Not everything is a gem, but there's plenty to like and some names that will appear here later as soon as I get around to them. But not a single name that I can imagine made any sort of splash outside the Twin Cities pond.

Come for the obscurity, stay for the mystery.

    Hi,
    Love your blog lots of cool stuff. I tried to post a comment on your other blog but couldn't
    so I am trying here my apologies. I am originally from the Worcester area. In the 80s I made annual trips into Boston's Kenmore Square and hit Nuggets, In Your Ear and Planet Records and a few others near by. As well as weekly trips to Al Bums in Worcester & Shrewsbury. I had to sell my collection of vinyl do to a move and have been trying to find digital versions of what I had.
    I am looking for a couple singles The Lifters Memories Fade/Heartbeat and The Reflectors Let Her Dance/Raining Steel both around 1983. It is worth a shot to ask since you spent some time in Boston. Minnesota's Big 3 Husker Du, The Mats & Soul Asylum changed my musical landscape forever. A band called Capture The Flag - Armies Of The World is another but not sure if they had a single or not. BCN, FNX, ERS, BRU and a couple from Worcester was all I listened to. WBCN's Rock & Roll Rumble was a particular favorite. Any help would be great but bottom line, I love your blog and thank you for all the great music, Jack

  '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.
