Hey, all you SST label fans, ( you Minutemen, you Husker Dudes,
you Meat Puppeteers ) their bands are touring to promote SST.
Catch it if you can.
I just read an interview with the Minutemen in the LA Weakly
and they said there next album will be called Project:Mersh.
They have had a hard time getting airplay because of
their style ( no fade-outs, no choruses, no cutesy lyrics)
so they have taken the appropriate steps to leap out into
commercialism ( Mersh: a name for "commercial" marijuana
grown in the states for domestic sale). Even though their
"Double Nickels on a Dime" was their biggest seller at
10,000 copies, they were bemoaning the fact that Journey
makes more promo discs than that.
Hulk Hogan was recently seen on that Wrestling show wearing a
Husker Du T-shirt. I bet the guys in Husker Du could kick Cindy
Lauper's ass. Just for fun, of course.
A new neat band from Austin, TX ------ > Scratched Acid
They've got a hip thing called "Cannibal". Isn't Guadalcanal
Diary from Tex-ass, too? It sure is strange where the "new"
pockets of talent emerge from. Minneapolis? Australia? Texas?
I think as soon as one band is found, the other blood-sucking
talent scouts swarm the area. If they swarmed by themselves,
instead of following the herd, I wonder how many nifty things
would be popping up. I guess whichever geographical area is "hot"...
