One Off

 

Between both blogs I've set ten posts into the queue with it set to go out over the next couple of weeks until I'm off again and look to see if anybody's paying attention.

But I'm really kind of done with doing this after several hours.
I want to do other stuff for a while.

But I did want to throw one more into the pot just because.

It just took an extra minute to find the right one off release so I wouldn't feel like I had to keep going to queue up an entire discography.

I'm committed but essentially kind of lazy at the same time.


 

Halfway Around the World (2000)


I guess, I didn't scan this one myself. No matter.

This is another sort of mystery band. They existed in an alternate musical world than the one I was in at the time this came out. I'm not sure I'd have liked it then. I'm not sure if I like it now.

It's some soulful pop rock that runs a weird gauntlet between the kind of indiepop that I really do like an the sort of MOR/Cities 97 kind that I absolutely don't. It's like they're in a perfect balance between the two and I'm like the kid standing between divorcing parents. It's kind of maddening.

But it is a nice one off compact disc with no others to clutter up my queue.

They also apparently did a 21st Anniversary show in which two members performed the entire album as a duo just a couple of months ago. Who knew?


But anyway.

I'm done for the night.

  '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?

Smokin' Weed and Makin' Money

  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...

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.
