For Convenience Sake

 

I suppose I should work on finishing up the tikka masala since that's the oldest thing in the fridge.

I finished Borderlands 3 the other day.

Not sure what to do with myself...



 Beat Is Murder - Cockfights & Cakefights 1992-1996 (2003)


Minneapolis' favorite Beat Group's output compiled lovingly and conveniently onto a single compact disc for a sweet one stop shop.

Keith Patterson, he of the ever present greek fisherman's hat has been plowing this particular furrow since the late 80s in multiple 60s inspired band. He's kind of the Twin Cities version of Mono Man from Boston's the Lyres, only for European Freakbeat stuff.

I remember leaving my job by Loring Park one early evening back in the 90's when they used to show Movies in the Park with a band on Tuesdays during the summer and hearing somebody putting down a Monk's cover and wandering over to see what that was all about.

I dug it.

Select covers and like minded originals in glorious high fidelity sound. What's not to love?

Besides where else are you gonna come across a quartet of covers of Iceland's own Thors Hammer today?

I'm just asking questions.

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.
