THE TWINS - The Desert Place 7 81 w Passion Factory LP 81 w Modern Lifestyle LP 82 w Super Sound Single EP 83


REPOST and ADD ON:  Found the first 7 and 2nd album by this highly regarded band (by me) yesterday while blogging at The Cold Tears blog by Wolf 72 so had to bring in my rips today to add to what they posted.  Really great electronica sound and as always, looking for more.  Oh yeah, I grew up a MN Twins fan and got to experience the two World Series wins so got 'em covered in song.

The Headboys - st LP 79


REPOST Request:  Well, O.K. now I got it.  I tried to find the flaws in my rip of this post a week ago and you all found the cyclical scratch I cut out of the title track and the rest was flawless IMO.  However, the comments kept coming so I figured it out...you were remote viewing my back library.  See I had forgot I had downloaded this after all the good comments first post by searching around and finding it as FLAC lossless and also flawless for the critics.  I even got you MP3 from FLAC conversion Freeware you can use if your portable devices don't play FLAC.  Now I will take the hints from others to try to find the other album and 7's.

REM Live In Georgia 83 - File Under Kudzu CD


I got this at a record show somewhere long ago but I could not rip all the songs so a couple are not included but hey at least I am saving this now to my laptop.  'House in Order'....ya da da da.

The Upbeats - Pop Songs LP 86


REPOST and NEW RIP!!!!  Well, since the cult classic song 'Jello Party Mania" is so friggin' awesome, I decided to buy this vinyl again to make a better rip only to find out in the mail it was an all black cover version but say O'Tay buckwheat because I still had the cover shots from the earlier vinyl I sold off in the early years of the blog so I could buy more vinyl.  I put this after the REM post above because they were from the same GA scene and used to open for REM in the early days....I only wish the singer on the Jello party song sang on at least one more song but no go.  BTW I used to have annual kegger house parties and we would make jello shots with 100 Proof Everclear that we would have to get over the border in Wisconsin.  We called it, "Party Until The Paper Arrives".

BUCKETHEAD - Giant Robot CD 95


What an awesome RADIO K winning this was as it got me to go see Buckhead live with everyone wearing their KFC chicken bucket hat just like Buckethead and the songs I filmed became favorites on my old youtube channel.  Incredible guitar talent!!
http://www63.zippyshare.com/v/QyyP7PDM/file.html

FAUX JEAN - Dead Lover CD 03


One of the biggest of the local MN Radio K bands.  They played the final show at the Uptown Bar which was also their final show I believe...too bad, they really got the troops up in arms so to speak!
http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/LGfQTkKf/file.html

MATTHEW SWEET - 100% Fun CD 95


Another from the old Radio K winnings bag as I used to call in to win quite often.  Matthew Sweet was pretty big in our alternative radio scene when we had that.

VA - 93.7 EDGE MN Modern Rock - The Pachyderm Sessions CD 95


Well I may have waited too long to start getting into my CD's as track 3 could not be captured to digital perhaps due to disc rot!  This radio station was the first to play alternative with commercials but sadly turned into a metal station.  That was O.K. back then because a new station took it's place called REV 105 for 'Revolution Radio' for which I will bring in that comp. CD but sadly that station also is no longer...I think it may be around as a new CURRENT alt country station but I certainly don't buy their guise as alternative.  Just a country station for the North in MN.  Comp. features some cool stuff from our hip hop scene which got huge and gave hip hop a new birth according to ICE CUBE when he toured and visited the schools up in the rough part of North Mpls., includes:  Run Westy Run, Matt Wilson (from Trip Shakespeare and now the Twilight Hours), Rex Daisy, Milk, Big Red Ball, Flipp, Babes In Toyland, Nova Mob, Glenrustles, Martin Zellar, John Casey, ZuZu's Petals, Tribe of Millions, The Blue Up?, Golden Smog (see below post) and good old Soul Asylum.

The Headboys - st LP 79


Sorry there tiny anonymous kiddo, I didn't notice any 'ripping errors' on my last post of this....perhaps an earlier rip?  In fact it's a pretty dang good rip if I do say so myself....have another try at it...btw this band gets better and better with each listen as the little additions on guitar stand out, etc.

Esthero - Breath From Another CD 98


Another female fronted band to match the mini-theme this week.  More on the trip hop edge.  Actually a ground-breaking album as one of the first of this hip hop instrumentation with female vocals and about every song is a hit!

Julee Cruise - Floating Into The Night CD w The Voice Of Love CD 90


Another Minneapolis native and from the old Twin Peaks TV series you will recognize her music.  I have a tape/CD copy of the first album and this is why I am missing the song 'The Swan' which is short but could not fit on the tape at the time.

Putting up some old female punk bands and here is a favorite from my scene.  They played Christmas Eve in 2002 at the Anarchy Library that year I lived in Los Angeles and I bought them drinks all night long!  What a great show as I sat at the bar and sucked it all in.
