Two for the Price of None

 The struggle is always when I start posting on this one is what do I want to post today?

Most times it's all a matter of whim and what fits with my mood.

My mood currently involves being hungry and needing a shower with some more vinyl waiting to be split into tracks on the other laptop with the flip side of that record also needing to be done in the  same way.

So after a small bit of hemming and hawing, this is what I came up with.


Slack (1979)


An important release within the Minneapolis punk rock microcosm built around Jay's Longhorn NNB released this small slab of black vinyl in 1979.

(and if you haven't seen the Jay's Longhorn documentary yet, you ought to. It's on Prime and worthy of your attention)

Both sides written by Mark Freeman who links this to the other record to be presented here today.




25 Reasons (1983)

Mark Freeman also wrote both sides of one too.

And if I'm being honest. I like it better than the NNB one.

Now go watch the Jay's Longhorn movie.

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.
