The Snake Eats Itself


I did the math and it wasn't pretty.










Holy crap. This is just over a quarter of a century old. It's like vintage old. It's so old it predates what even currently passes for old school kind of old.

What we have here is a bunch of Minneapolis bands doing the even older
Hüsker Dü double album "Zen Arcade" song by song. Version by version.

"Zen Arcade" was pretty monumental in its day. It was even touted by fussy old people magazine Rolling Stone as #31 of the best 100 albums of the 80s.

So a decade later or so, a couple dozen fresh faced Minneapolis/St Paul bands took it upon themselves to remake the record. 

And that's what we have here.

the end.

  1. Thanks! I'm ripping my CD collection and was looking to add this version of "Pink Turns To Blue" to The Blue Up?'s "Cake and Eat It"...
