Coffee Coffee Coffee

 Last time I got coffee beans via the local coffee shop/roaster for the espresso machine I don't think they were right. Espresso is supposed to be a blend of beans to get the flavor and the rich crema that forms on top when it's poured.

I think maybe that the beans weren't mixed very well or somebody forgot the Robusta beans that create the crema in the batch. We got two pounds and three weeks without any crema and generally not living our best espresso life.

So new day. New beans.
Time to start fresh.

You can start fresh with this


Dead End Expressway (1999)


If you're the kind of person who likes their Rock of the Punk variety, but preferably of the Pop version then I have an album that you may enjoy.

The Misfires don't set out to reinvent the wheel here. They know what they do and they do it to the best of their abilities for a solid effort.

It would also seem that over time the core of the Misfires added and subtracted people to morph into a completely different band, Signal to Trust.

It's a Slurpee Day

  '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.
