Big Hits of Mid-America Volume Three (1979)


This has the two other released tracks by NNB which was the subject of the previous post.

It also functions as a good intro to the Sound of Young Minneapolis in the late 70s just preceding the arrival of Hüsker Dü and the ascendance of Prince.
If you watched the Jay's Longhorn documentary like I suggested then you have an idea of what this is.

Or maybe if you're already for some inexplicable reason following a Minnesota based blog it's because you were there to begin with.

I wasn't but I collect records so you don't have to.

They're really heavy when you have to move.

    Just discovered both of your sites .... Having a great time downloading. Wish they were FLAC but just the fact that you've ripped many indie singles from the 7os / 80s that I had (Shane Champagne Band, Chinas Comidas, etc) is incredible. You're also turning me onto bands I heard of but never owned the singles / Lps as well as those didn't know of (The Blue Things [amazing].

    I have a soft spot in my heart for Minneapolis because my band (The Fast) did play there at Jay's Longhorn and the crowd there was one of the best I got to perform to. Sold my Dan Electro "Longhorn" bass to a guy while I was there.

    Numero Group should set you up as their ace compiler because you definitely have your finger on the pulse of the punk / new wave indie scene. ...Cheers

    I just post what I have and what I think needs to be heard or reconsidered. Nobody's really gone into any depth with the weird Indie New Wave stuff as far as reissues go which is a shame because there's a ton of cool things out there. I'm starting to get price out of a lot of it now though. (at least as far as what I'm willing to fork over for it anyway)

    (Which reminds me, I thought I'd posted the Car Crash single already. Now I have to find those files.)

    It's gonna be a little bit before I'm caught up enough to get back to the main singles boxes though where more of that 70s/80s stuff resides. The last couple of years I've been binging on late 80s to 2000s indiepop on top of the local stuff for here. Have a big box of recent arrivals going back almost a year that need attention....

  '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
