Until I start posting again, here are some YouTube clips.


Huskers

Destroy!
This is always a fun thing to find. I shot this video in my basement, gave it to Felix who sold a bunch of them….years later someone else rips the video to post on YouTube, and I find it to post in my blog. Hard to believe this was almost 20 years ago! (damn I’m old)

Mighty Mofo’s
Finally, the Mofo’s are a big part of the reason I am who I am today, so I always celebrate my personal local heros!

I’m pretty sure I’ve posted this before, but it’s a good record, and our Porcelain Boys lovin’ friends over at the awesome Wilfully Obscure blog decided to post this, so I thought I’d link it up.  Grab this while you can.  It’s a limited time posting.

Get it here !

Sometimes the internet is just a complete waste of time and space.  Other times I find great music I haven’t thought about in years.  This is neither.  Here is a great review of an old album this is never not loaded on my Zune.  Its no secret that the PB’s are one of my favorite bands.  I’m just always surprised at how many other folks love them too!

This is the last of the In Defence stuff I can find online. My understanding is that everything is still in print, so I can’t post any music at this point. If I’m wrong, let me know.
Now, since I don’t own any In Defence, I’m going to stop posting and try to find something to buy.

Really liking what I’m hearing from these guys. The latest video by these guys is funny, fast hardcore which tells me that these guys not only know how to rock, they get what punk rock is all about. Their previous video (also posted here) was shot inside a Taco Johns. Right on.

Brought to you by this guy I never met, from half way across the country,  that must have stolen my record collection.  There is no other explanation for the great taste in rock this guy has.

TwinTone 1983

Great document of the label that put MN on the map, and helped to spawn some of the biggest punk/hardcore/indie-rock bands in the land.  There is no denying the importance of this label and what they did for Minnesota.  Even bands that never put out a single release on the label were helped out by them (think Husker Du and many others).  They spawned the Suburbs, Suicide Commandos, Replacements, Soul Asylum, (my favorite) The Magnolias and many others.

When I started my label the folks at Twin Tone gave me some great advice, and when I did my video show, they helped me out then too, and I’m not the only person they ever helped.  I was just some dumb kid that I doubt anyone there would ever remember.  So even if the Twin Tone bands aren’t your speed, you need to give them a lot of credit for all the work they did.

So…the comp…..   Well, this is filled with the typical Twin Tone bands.  Just download it already.  Great record!
