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"... |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X||X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X||X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| Jello instead of Home-Top Stuffing anytime!
