Something to do.

I was listening to/digitizing some new arrivals and thinking about next big things I want to post from recent obsessions.
I ended up quarantining a large list of MN cds from the 90's into their very own folder in the SSC folder titled "MN Rocks" with the intent that in some future time I will spend a few months running down a long list of the local stuff that nobody outside of the Twin Cities Metro ever really heard. Still a few holes I need to plug to make it be what I want so who knows when it will happen.

I'll probably end up running with a Duke Ellington radio bootleg bonanza before that.

Or I'll just continue to peck away with the things that are still clogging up the SSC works waiting for their day in the spotlight.

Speaking of which..

Liquorice (1995)

Discogs sez:

" US indie 'supergroup' Liquorice featured Jenny Toomey (Tsunami (6), Grenadine), Dan Littleton (The Hated, Ida (3)) and Trey Many (His Name Is Alive). Jenny and Dan were close friends and had been playing music together sporadically for the several years. However, commitments to their main bands made collaboration increasingly difficult. In 1995, Ivo invited Jenny to make a one-off solo album for 4AD. She worked with Dan on the demos and Liquorice was born...

I tend to believe them. They seem like they know what they're talking about.

Bad September (1990)


On the other side of the globe and five years previous the Kryptonics from Perth, Australia released their final blurt into the world. Notable for a couple of fine original hard and fast Aussie punk pop and a reasonable cover of the oft covered "Another Girl, Another Planet" by the Only Ones.
It's not the sort of thing you might seek out for itself, but one that you find coming across your random play and nodding along with while you're driving.


Maybe you ought to go on a road trip.

This is not a suggestion.
