Twin Town Music Yearbook Vol. 3 (2000)


Tracklist at Discogs


This one is an embarrassment of riches. The Twin Cities scene was on fire around this time but all self contained and nobody outside of the area paid it any attention.

Where to start on this one...

You got a 12 Rods track. One by All the Pretty Horses. The Grotto song that got me to track down their disc. Other various bands that I've posted or will


But for me the absolute highlight of this disc and perhaps the whole fucking series is Kruddler doing a version of Ricky Martin's "Living La Vida Loca" and just burning the whole thing to the ground.


If you check nothing else out, this is the one thing.

Great version. Great band. Good people.

With a special mention for the Mammy Nuns because Rob Rule is an awesome human who ran the board at the Turf and playing a Tuesday night there with him and the Mammy Nuns was always a good time.

  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.
