Last Post for Tonight

 I'm going to do a little work after I hit post on this one



Other's Parts (2007)


Electric violin, Electric cello, a drummer and lovely female vocals.
 

Different? Yes.
A little pretentious? Maybe a bit

But it works.

Certainly much more than the truly awful cover art would suggest. 

Good lord, what were they thinking...?

They're going to be a slightly harder sell as an unconventional band, but one can't help but wonder if better art direction could have helped sell the disc and gotten them on a nice artsy label and another album or two.

But that's all speculation and hindsight. Decisions were made and so was history.

The cellist used to play in the string quartet that had a regular Sunday Brunch gig at the rather infamous Cafe I worked at for couple of years back in the 90s. Nice dude.


Something from this oddly enough played while I was making a pizza tonight (Caramelized onions & artichoke hearts with a simple homemade pizza sauce. Fucking delicious.)

Own had just come up in a conversation with the wife sometime in the past couple of days. I think it was something involving bands with cello parts. I told her she would like this disc.

I was not wrong.

She quite liked it.


You may as well.

  '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.
