I Made Ice Cream

 

Well, more like an iced vanilla custard, I guess.
Doesn't matter. De-fucking-licious.


Best of Smoke-Free Saturday Nights (2004)


Now here's a weird throwback item.

In 2004 you could still smoke in bars. So shortlived local music weekly The Pulse of the Twin Cities was sponsoring what I believe were all ages shows where smoking was not allowed.

It's like a fascinating little sonic time capsule like the blues compilation I picked up years ago in a junk shop that was a giveaway ad for antidepressants.

This one doubles as a good cross section of what things sounded like at the beginning of this century in the Minneapolis/St Paul nexus.

Consider it a sampler plate for a number of things to come and the only evidence of other things.

and another Superhopper tune of which I feel like you cannot have too many.

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...

Volume 4

 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.
