A Story as Old as Records

 Finishing out the year that was and wasn't.

A whole lot happened between recovering from COVID to moving to now, but at the same time nothing really happened at all because it was just working through the fucking endless pandemic in the meantime and going nowhere except the grocery store for the most part.

Fuck that noise.
I'm tired.





Guys and Dolls (1996)


Rex Daisy.

A really quite good Pop Rock album by these Big Star acolytes who got signed and then subsequently screwed over by Geffen Records. Not that they'd have known what to do with them especially in a year where "Gangsta Paradise" by Coolio was the top hit for 1995 and TLC and Boyz II Men littered the charts.

You can get the whole predictable and sad rundown in this contemporary Austin Chronicle article

And you can still get brand new copies from Pravda Records via Discogs which I did.

But if you like it you can also add your name to the Change.org Petition for a Rex Daisy Reunion.

Can't hurt.

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.
