Podcasts about Grant Hart

I interviewed the band Secret Monkey Weekend -- Ella (bass), Lila (drums), Jefferson (guitar). From their bio - "Ella and Lila's father Matt, a prominent area drummer who'd toured with Hüsker Dü's Grant Hart, passed suddenly in 2012, when his daughters were aged just 4 and 9. Matt had played in bands with Jefferson and, after his friend's passing, Jefferson started teaching Ella guitar. A relationship with their mom, Laura, slowly blossomed." What began as a hobby / therapy evolved into a family band.We discussed:- Their new album, "Lemon Drop Hammer"- Starting so young, how Ella and Lila have adapted their playing as they have physically grown- The song "So Much Joy" and its gritty happiness- The quirky, fun title track - The great lyric "walking between raindrops" - How the music community embraced them after their dad died - The job title I have never seen in album liner notes before

On today's episode, I talk to musician Bob Mould. Originally from Malone, New York, Bob attended college in Saint Paul, Minnesota where he formed Hüsker Dü in 1979 with Grant Hart and Greg Norton. One of the most well-known bands of the hardcore punk era, Hüsker Dü released six albums, mostly on SST and then on Warner Bros. before breaking up in 1988. After this, Bob began performing under his own name, and then formed Sugar in 1992. While Sugar was only together for three short years, they released two albums, an EP and a B-sides collection, and their first album Copper Blue, was a big hit. Since Sugar's dissolution, Bob has kept quite busy, releasing over a dozen albums on labels like Anti- and Merge, and his latest album Here We Go Crazy was just released on Granary Music/BMG Records, and folks, it's a delight!

No one mixes fury and vulnerability, ferocious energy and pop smarts like Bob Mould. His 15th solo album, Here We Go Crazy, comes out March 7, and he remains at the peak of his powers. Here he reflects on his tremendous, sometimes turbulent career, starting with his attending Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., meeting Grant Hart at Cheapo Records and launching the trailblazing punk trio Hüsker Dü. Why have the Twin Cities punched above their weight musically? Given his triumphs with Hüsker Dü, Sugar and the lineup on his most recent six albums, what does he like about playing in trios? How did “bright melody, dark story” become such a potent combination? How does he enjoy performing solo vs. with a band? Did he always envision Here We Go Crazy as a three-act song cycle? And what's his strategy to address what's happening in the world now?

We reminisce about the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night," comparing its UK and US versions, and we share a quirky personal story about displaying the album cover in the bathroom. We also take a nostalgic look at the 1987 film "Can't Buy Me Love," starring Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson, and its unique use of the iconic Beatles' track.But that's just the beginning. We explore an amusing high school transformation movie, with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" taking center stage, and we delve into the significance of other Beatles classics like "And I Love Her" and "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You." The episode takes a fun twist as we talk about George Strait breaking a concert attendance record and share a hilarious anecdote involving Flavor Flav and Martha Stewart at a Dead & Company show. We honor the late Bill Walton, the world's tallest deadhead, and his extraordinary connection to the Grateful Dead.As we wrap up the episode, we journey through music history, starting with a review of two recent Rolling Stones that I went to see.

We groove to Donna Summer's timeless hits, including "Hot Stuff" and "I Feel Love," and celebrate her influence in the late '70s and early '80s. Then, we dive into Hüsker Dü's unique sound, focusing on drummer Grant Hart and standout tracks from "Zen Arcade." To conclude, I encourage everyone to keep the music playing.

We should've talked about Grant Hart as well as Bob Mould. It is probably noticeable anyway, but we want to mention that two separate parts of "Running Up That Hill," "In Between Days," "Primitive Painters," and "She Sells Sanctuary" were grafted together for the clips we played.

Part two of The Ledge’s look at SST Records focuses on the second half of the 80’s. There are a few big names involved, including Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Buffalo Tom, and future grunge major label heroes Screaming Trees and Soundgarden. There’s a look at the last few Black Flag albums, along with the Greg Ginn solo project Gone. There are also a few veterans of the music scene, including Divine Horsemen, Volcano Suns, and the first solo releases by Husker Du’s Grant Hart. Once again, special thanks must go to Jim Ruland for his fabulous book, Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise & Fall of SST Records, which inspired this series of episodes. I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

JOHN EDWARDS, Drummer and many other things John Edwards is a 57-year old larger than life bloke from a rather oddly-named village just outside Maidstone in Kent. His true love has always been music and but for the fact that life got in the way, John would be living the life of a rock star drummer. As the youngest in a family of 8, John was brought up on a diet of Coronation Street, Wrestling, Mike Yarwood, Reggie Perrin, Derek and Clive, Monty Python and fried egg sarnies. Musically, as a kid, John was introduced to an eclectic mix of Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Curved Air, Mantovani, James Last, Frank Sinatra, Rick Wakeman, Abba and The Carpenters. More importantly, it was in the days of glam rock that John found himself becoming obsessed with loud music and messing about on his brother's the drum kit. His school days in Maidstone introduced him to fellow music lovers David Bloomfield and Stuart Ellis. Both of them would go onto become lifetime friends and play in bands together. John played drums in the covers band Mavis Cruett, the non-sensical but funny and punky Andy Pandys and then in the more serious bands The Strookas, who supported Green Day and now Tonota 80. John is a singing drummer, not so much Phil Collins but more like Grant Hart from Minneapolis alternative US band Husker Du.   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engineerrecords.com%2Ftonota-80%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2m38cmK2K0y8zuB-0aefqExc4vOF57uu_gt6uFncx4KjN9dkqjlOIa0sw&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthestrookas.bandcamp.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2RVYmDNyzehKj0OgHxia77AExws2x3Vb9ui4qnk59syQ95rPadqFU09pM&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftonota80.bandcamp.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1aLGwCfsM1QpPCA6gaIS9J1zBCkgSs44bNwhosPeW_Ma4_iRzcz-1q7lk&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   To support the podcast and get access to features about guitar playing and song writing visit https://www.patreon.com/vichyland and also news for all the creative music that we do at Bluescamp UK and France visit www.bluescampuk.co.uk   For details of the Ikaro music charity visit www.ikaromusic.com   Big thanks to Josh Ferrara for the music

Psykidelic Oven Mit return to the show with their new EP which is released on gorgeous transparent red vinyl and CD - yes, we have both! We have played Psykidelic Oven Mit before on the show — way back in February 2020. We played and discussed Staring Into The Sun from their debut LP Ghost Machine. Richard was lucky enough to be have given the pre-release CD of that LP (which he has since passed on to Ben from Wolf City). Whilst at an in-store event at X-records (Janus Stark) Richard stumbled across Ghost Machine on Vinyl. So yes, it was added to his collection. He was delighted to find it on coloured vinyl. Further to that Frank and the boys from Psykidelic Oven Mit — ever generous — furnished us with their new EP on vinyl and CD, plus a copy of Ghost Machine on cassette. Add to that various bumper stickers and fridge magnets and you get the picture. Spooky Action At A Distance (their new EP) is a collection of rough mixes and demos recorded mainly through the COVID lockdowns of 2020. Well, the first three of four tracks are anyhow. Room With A View is the final of four tracks on the EP and is a demo from early 2019. It all comes beautifully presented in a full colour jacket featuring artwork by Rick Tyner. To cap it all, the record has been mastered by Greg Reierson (The Cure, Micky Dolenz, Grant Hart).

RockerMike and Rob discuss Hüsker Dü. Hüsker Dü was an American punk rock band formed in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1979. The band's continual members were guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, bassist/vocalist Greg Norton, and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart. They first gained notability as a hardcore punk band, and later crossed over into alternative rock. The band issued their debut full-length album Everything Falls Apart on Reflex Records in 1983 and subsequently released three LPs and an EP on the independent label SST Records, including the critically acclaimed Zen Arcade in 1984. Hüsker Dü signed to major label Warner Bros. Records in 1986 to release their final two studio albums. They disbanded in January 1988. Mould later released two solo albums before forming Sugar in the early 1990s, while Hart released a solo album on SST and later formed Nova Mob. After their respective bands broke up in the mid-1990s, Mould and Hart continued doing solo work, the latter until his death in 2017.[6] Norton was initially less active musically after Hüsker Dü and focused on being a restaurateur instead. He returned to the recording industry in 2006. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/grant-hart-husker-du-drummer-and-singer-dead-at-56-196792/amp/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/16bN8mhtDFdegWbg0z3s10 https://www.amazon.com/Husker-Du-Noise-Pop-Pioneers-Launched/dp/0760335044 https://www.discogs.com/artist/129885-H%C3%BCsker-D%C3%BC https://www.npr.org/artists/548481460/husker-du Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ https://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80 https://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net https://8bcded2xph1jdsb8mqp8th3y0n.hop.clickbank.net/?cbpage=nb Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708 https://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup #alternativerock #alternative #alternativemusic #musicproduction #music #musician #musicvideo #musicproducer --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support

SUPPORT MUSIC IS NOT A GENRE ON PATREON WATCH MUSIC is not a GENRE VIDEOS and MORE When we think of drummers, we imagine them on their throne behind the kit pounding away, maintaining the beat & structure of songs, and giving them energy they'd never have otherwise. We might see a mic off to the side for some backup vocals or the rare lead vocal. If a drummer comes out from the kit, it's to take a break or a bow. That's pretty damn accurate as far as 95% of drummers go (that percentage has been scientifically measured by The Guesstimators). But what about that other (scientifically measured) 5%? What do they do? They rule – on AND off the throne. They not only kick-ass on a kit, they kick it on the mic and in the studio and with a pen & paper. It's the difference between a titular monarch and one who actually calls the shots. These drummers go from laying the foundation to ruling the entire castle. Plenty of drummers have sung backup or the occasional lead – Roger Taylor, Peter Criss, Grant Hart, even Foo's Taylor Hawkins. Much respect but they aren't the subject here. I'm not even talking about all the very worthy drummers who sang lead from the start – like Dave Clark, Mickey Dolenz, Levon Helm, Sheila E., Anderson .Paak, etc. Or the multi-instrumentalists who drummed whenever – McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Todd Rundgren, Prince. And this is absolutely not about lead singers who CAN drum but didn't play that role in any significant way, like Rick Astley, Chris Cornell or Jack White. This is about drummers who went from virtual silence to running the whole show. I'm talking full frontperson status, like Ringo Starr, Phil Collins, Karen Carpenter, Don Henley, aaaaaand Dave Grohl. The Foo Fighters are now legends. They've been around over 25 years. So Dave Grohl emerges from the destruction of one legendary band to create another. He was already a veteran by 1994, and already writing & recording his own songs. He had a ton of options post Nirvana, but fronting his own band was the next logical step. And boy did the Foos come out of the gate roaring. Grohl recorded almost everything on that first album, which is an indication of how much he needed to ascend. Every step since then has been Grohl and his bandmates – the core of which has been intact for over a decade – doing more & finding more challenges to tackle. Killing it live. Conquering the pop charts – every album has had at least one massive hit, no matter what else was going on in the charts. Recording & writing on the road and making it a TV show. Adding to their sound. Their early work was thrilling to me. It was therapeutic to hear that passion burst forth after Kurt Cobain's death. It felt like what Nirvana might have done had they continued, because it merged grunge with earlier hard rock and most importantly power pop. The Foos' music had everything I was looking for, and has influenced me time and again over the years. There are songs on every REC album from Parts and Labour onward that take cues from the Foos. Most recently, this song here: REC – “Don't Say You Don't” (from the album Synergy for the Weird) Do you remember what it felt like to hear the Foo Fighters' first music so soon after Cobain's death? Was it a surprise how amazing Dave Grohl was at everything from the very beginning? Did you expect them to have such staying power, to become the hard rock standard bearers & ambassadors?

( Lorne Behrman) Greg Hoy is many things. He’s a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, a recording producer, a recording engineer, something of a marketing guru, a jingle and sound composer and producer, a 'people engineer' in the tech world, an art director, and a label owner. But when you boil it all down — he’s really just a guy in a band. “Music is in everything I do. Helping companies hiring people is just like putting a band together. I’ve been fortunate that both sides of my brain work in tandem,” the California-based artist says with a good-natured laugh. With his 2020 tour cancelled due to... well, you know what, Greg managed to coax East Bay, California's Tiny Telephone studio owner John Vanderslice into letting he and his band social distance to make 'Cacophony' - an 11 song cycle now out on gold vinyl - written and recorded in just two weeks. The lyrically output was heavy: birth, death, pandemics, and fires. But that fast and furious creative drive is what propels him to create. When you do more, you do more. So, maybe, it’s the collective inertia of all his projects that propels Greg’s prolific output? Somehow, between wearing so many hats — including tirelessly touring the nation in a vintage Airstream on the Limited Mileage tour throughout 2019 — he made time to write and a record a refreshingly eclectic, 22-song double-vinyl self-tiled concept album released as the self-titled Greg Hoy & The Boys. His last 2019 release, Enjoy the View, was recorded mostly live by audio legend Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, PJ Harvey) in Chicago & mixed in Oregon by the equally amazing Sylvia Massy (Tool, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Clocking in at just under 20 minutes, the band pushed the limits as a meaty 3 piece. The result is an immediately hooky slab of caffeinated, propulsive, plug-in-and-play rock n roll. To date, the restless creative has issued over 30 albums under various monikers, including The Royal Panics, Greg Hoy (“no boys” for intimate releases), Greg Hoy & The Boys, and Twice As Bright. Mostly these days, he fires up Greg Hoy & The Boys, a loose collective of friends and trusted musicians that includes boys and girls. Greg’s vibrantly diverse output harkens back to the bedroom 4-track visionary aesthetic of 1990s indie-rock, as epitomized by Guided By Voices and its fearless leader Bob Pollard. When you distill it all down, Greg plays retro rock n’ roll meticulously crafted from the timeless essentials of infectious melodies paired with undeniable grooves. Yet, within this focused path, Greg issues diverse albums aligned in spirit with such singular artists as Jack White, Dave Grohl, Neil Young, Queens Of The Stone Age, Cake, The Jam, The Who, The Beatles... “All the ‘the something’ bands,” Greg playfully adds. Throughout his wildly fishtailing career, Greg has worked with Glenn Branca, J. Robbins, Steve Albini, and drummer Steve Sutherland, late of Grant Hart's Nova Mob, among others. Greg’s songs have been featured on network television shows such as One Tree Hill and MTV's Made. Select live highlights in Greg’s career include performances at Noise Pop, SXSW, CMJ, and on the main stage at Latitude Festival in the UK. When off stage or not recording as an artist, Greg runs the record label, 30 Peak, and does production / soundtrack work. In this latter context, his music and sound design has been featured in Pinterest brand videos, American Express commercials, and as game effects for the software platform Adobe. Outside of the world of sonics, Greg works as a “people engineer” in tech, and he’s known for having hired & built the first creative teams for Facebook, Pinterest, and Lyft. Greg’s story in music begins at the age of 5 with the big bang of hearing Led Zeppelin’s 'Whole Lotta Love' on headphones with his big brother. “I was immediately drawn to the richness of the sound, and the idea that you could manipulate emotions with sound—like a certain fuzzed out guitar and drum beat could make you feel a certain way,” Greg explains. Later on, while attending Westminster College in Western Pennsylvania, Greg became a whiz with a four-track cassette recorder, recording his own songs as a multi-instrumentalist, and honing his lo-fi production chops tracking local bands. During this time, Greg also furthered his creative reach through working other bands as a guitarist, keyboardist, and a drummer. His debut became a buzzed-about tape, and 30 albums and two decades later he’s still a DIY-spirited artist freely exploring his artistic whims. Greg’s double album might be his most ambitious and personally poignant. He formed his music tastes through listening sessions with his mother who had a subscription to the Columbia House monthly CD series. Together, the two soaked up the sounds of Huey Lewis and the News, INXS, Chicago, and Led Zeppelin. Those were epiphanic moments for Greg as a budding music fan, and they’re treasured times he spent with his mother. A few years ago, his mother was terminally ill and Greg was there by her bedside. He recalls: “As she was passing, I would get the CDs we would listen to together, and then go to the studio and play along on drums to our favorite songs. I realized the best thing I can do emotionally is to make a record to process it all.” Those drum tracks became the foundation for the songs on Greg’s album. The songs also inspired emotive moods, and first-time instrument choices — like the use of saxophone on 'Ready Rock Steady.' The album can be digested almost like four grouped-together EPs. Greg Hoy & The Boys explores a wide array of thematic threads. At times, the songs are the wry musings of a middle-aged guy stuck in the millennial-addled tech world. Some tunes point out the dichotomy of being at the forefront of technology while still loving the lo-fi world of real drums and tape recorders. “Others are about birth, death, drugs, and rock n’ roll,” adds Greg. Interspersed within these loose concepts, is the arc of Greg’s mother’s passing. Select album standouts include 'Brilliant Jerk,' '(Keep Feeling) Caffeination,' 'Participation Award,' and “Ready Rock Steady.” The dance-y indie rock of “Brilliant Jerk” froths over with acerbic lyrical wit and twitch-y art-funk that recalls LCD Soundsystem, Gang Of Four, and Fugazi. Lyrically, this is playfully barbed social commentary on the onslaught of brainy bastards in the tech world. The tune’s accompanying video is culled from stock footage as sort of a meta statement on how, when peeled back, what passes for “brilliance” in this world can be flimsy ideas puffed up by big egos.  The playfully titled '(Keep Feeling) Caffeination' — the title is a nod to the Human League’s synth-pop gem '(Keep Feeling) Fascination'—is a sizzling rockabilly boogie number rife with savory puns. The song, and its accompanying video, pulls no punches in addressing a seldomly-addressed toxic social epidemic. Read more at:https://thegreghoy.com/

Sept. 27, 1982: Bad Brains/Sweet Taste of Afrika/Husker Du Almost 40 years ago, D.C. rockers Bad Brains played First Avenue with two Minnesotan openers: Sweet Taste of Afrika and Husker Du. While Husker Du are relatively well-known today, Sweet Taste of Afrika are all but forgotten. Meanwhile, Bad Brains are world-famous, but their hurtful behavior has flown under the radar. In this episode, we tease out the complicated relationship between the three bands on the bill, their genres, and their identities. This is the third episode of The Current Rewind's "10 Pivotal Days at First Avenue" season. If you missed the first two episodes, catch up below. • April 3, 1970 (The day it all began)• Nov. 28-29, 1979 (The days that told the future) Transcript of The Current Rewind season 2, episode 3: "Sept. 27, 1982" [Bad Brains' "Banned In DC"] Cecilia Johnson VO: D.C. rockers Bad Brains are among the best-known hardcore bands in history. They're famous for their live shows. Imagine a scene like this: [volume inches up] Cecilia Johnson VO: Lead singer H.R. is flailing, his voice curdled from screaming, and drummer Earl Hudson rides the cymbals hard. A song later, the band dips into reggae. The kids who were moshing just a minute ago are now letting their shoulders slump, swaying from side to side, until Dr. Know fires up the guitar again, and the audience churns back into a pit. Maybe you've experienced this in person, maybe you've just heard about it...but whatever's the case, for a lot of people, Bad Brains are one of the only Black rock bands they've heard of. Let's talk some more about that. [Icetep's "Hive Sound"] Cecilia Johnson VO: [over theme] I'm Cecilia Johnson, and this is The Current Rewind, the show putting music's unsung stories on the map. For our second season, we're exploring the history of First Avenue, the downtown Minneapolis venue that has become one of the Twin Cities' – and the country's – greatest clubs. [Icetep's "Hive Sound" crescendos, plays for several seconds, and fades down] Cecilia Johnson VO: So far, we've seen First Avenue evolve from the Depot to Uncle Sam's to Sam's. For this episode, we'll jump ahead to 1982, when Bad Brains, Sweet Taste of Afrika, and Hüsker Dü shared the Mainroom stage. We set out to tell a story about one of the most revered bands in punk music. But we ended up learning a lesson: that while representation is definitely necessary, if you treat individuals' identities as their virtues, you can actually allow them less humanity – and excuse the harm that they've done. Honestly, this episode presented a lot of challenges, and we want to let you in on them as we tell this story. So let's do that. I'm super excited to introduce our guest host for this episode. She runs the show Rock and Roll Over at the University of Minnesota's Radio K and her name is Zoë Challenger. She's definitely one of our youngest guest hosts this season, but I can already tell she has a ton of talent and wisdom to share with the world. Here she is. [rewind sound effect] Zoë Challenger VO: I'm Zoë Challenger. Being a Twin Cities native, I am embarrassed to say that my first concert at First Avenue was when Noname came to town in January of 2019. I was 19 years old, and I went alone. While I grew up with a desire for musical exploration, I did not grow up in a musical household by any means. I told my parents I was going with a friend, when in reality, I couldn't find anyone to go with me. So I draped my mother's elegant hand-me-down wool coat over my plaid skirt, crop top, and tattered stockings. I let the material confidence override any underlying social anxieties. As an only child, I've never been afraid of being alone, but walking into a venue by myself brought up new feelings. Since that night, I found myself at the First Avenue Mainroom or the 7th St Entry nearly once a week until the coronavirus pandemic hit the nation. Most of the time I would arrive alone, but over time, I would find myself running into more and more familiar faces at any given show. Maneuvering the block of 7th Street and Hennepin Avenue will always be an act of muscle memory. Over the last 50 years, First Avenue has hosted a variety of big names, but the early 1980s were jam-packed. From 1982-84, the calendar swerved from funk to punk to New Wave, with acts ranging from talkbox legends Zapp & Roger, to Minnesotan rockers the Replacements, to Bow Wow Wow, the band behind "I Want Candy." That's not to mention Prince, U2, Ray Charles, and a then-unknown Wynton Marsalis. But if you were to look through the 1980s First Ave band files that are now housed at the Minnesota Historical Society, you'd struggle to find a particular category of artists: well-known Black American rockers. The Minnesota music community has a lot of excuses for this, the most common one being, "There weren't that many Black rock bands to book." It's true that funk and soul were much more popular among Black Americans, especially those raised in the church. But it's too easy to say that Black rock wasn't a thing. In fact, according to those band files, rock-adjacent bands War, Ipso Facto, and Defunkt played First Avenue in the early '80s. But aside from the Historical Society files, those shows hardly left a paper trail, whether in microfilm archives or the internet. Which brings us to an issue at the heart of this story: which legacies last and which fade away. The story of Bad Brains is fairly well-established. The D.C. group originally banded together in the 1970s as a jazz fusion ensemble called Mind Power. After going to a Bob Marley concert and hearing the Ramones' song "Bad Brain," they were influenced enough to change not only their name but also their sound, ending up with a mix of punk rock and reggae. At this point, a pattern was beginning to form with Black musicians who dove into punk music; they were often eclectic in their genre-molding and evolution. In Minneapolis, local punk bands who'd been performing at bars like Duffy's and the Longhorn had a new room to fill: the 7th St Entry, a small space off the side of the First Avenue Mainroom. Steve McClellan: And there was just, say, we got this empty room. It's a storage area. Zoë Challenger VO: Around the same time as he opened the Entry, general manager Steve McClellan hired Chrissie Dunlap, who ended up booking the space. Chrissie Dunlap: I started out just 100 percent Steve's assistant: You know, his desk (and office generally) was just filled up with contracts, riders, promo material, you know, label stuff, cassette tapes everywhere. And I would go in there and just try to prioritize things – tell him, "This needs to be signed, this, you gotta do this." And then I would just sorta take the promo material and start promoting shows. And as time went on, a lot of that detailed stuff ended up leaving Steve's desk and [moving] over to my desk. The bands would start calling, looking for gigs, and, you know, I started out giving the info to Steve and kinda working on him with it, but he was busy doing the real talent buying, and I was there during the day more when the phone rang and people stopped by with cassettes and stuff. So I just kinda, little by little, picked it up. Zoë Challenger VO: One of the bands Chrissie would book – a lot – were Hüsker Dü, the St. Paul punk group who opened for Bad Brains at First Avenue. But that's not a huge surprise; in the '80s, they were playing upwards of 60 shows a year. Hüsker Dü guitarist Bob Mould wanted to tell us all about this era, but right when we were producing this episode, he was actually called for jury duty. While Bob did his civic duty, we grabbed a clip from the audiobook of his memoir, See A Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody. Bob Mould: We started the spring tour in the Midwest, with our four-year anniversary gig at First Avenue in Minneapolis. First Avenue was originally a bus depot in downtown Minneapolis. It became a nightclub in 1970, and 7th St Entry was the coat check before becoming its own 300-capacity music room. First Avenue had been a cornerstone of the Midwest rock scene for years, and to play the 1,200-capacity main room was the goal of many a Midwest musician. Zoë Challenger VO: Along with Bob, bassist Greg Norton and drummer/songwriter Grant Hart recorded their debut album Land Speed Record at the Entry in '81, and they released it via New Alliance in January 1982. Bob Mould: The band always played with purpose – there wasn't a lot of goofing around in the live shows. On the faster material, Greg would start jumping in the air or do scissor kicks. I typically wore a grave, glowering expression, digging deep into my guitar when not singing. Grant was behind the kit, looking much like Animal from the Muppet Show band, except with longer hair and bare feet. We were young and inexperienced, but we had tons of energy and were able to create a solid wall of sound. Zoë Challenger VO: In selecting this show as one of First Avenue's pivotal nights, we were excited to focus on the positive, celebrating punk heroes Hüsker Dü and Bad Brains on one bill. But it didn't turn out to be that easy. Bob Mould: There was a loose network, which we often discovered by chance, where like-minded bands would share a stage and the hometown band would offer accommodations to the traveling band. In return, when that band came to your town, you would reciprocate. Sometimes you'd run into a band that didn't understand or appreciate the idea. When Bad Brains stayed with Grant and his parents, they took Grant's pot and left behind an antigay note. Some gratitude. But once people caught the drift of those bands, they were usually shunned, and eventually they faded away. Zoë Challenger VO: Bob and Grant's sexualities were open secrets in the Minneapolis punk scene. Bob would come out as gay in a Spin article in 1994, and Grant is on record talking about his bisexuality around that time. Bob and Grant wanted to avoid becoming pigeonholed for their identities. But when you consider the scope of their experiences – and how scary the AIDS crisis was – their angry, frenetic catalog takes on new meaning. [Hüsker Dü's "Pink Turns To Blue"] Bob Mould: Gays in the hardcore punk scene were much like gays in the military. If the military says, "Don't ask, don't tell," the hardcore punk collary was, "Don't advertise, don't worry." If someone made a disparaging remark about gays, I would simply say, "That's not cool," or, "You're so ignorant." It was a way of making my feelings known without broadcasting my sexuality. Generally, there was no more homophobia in the hardcore scene than anywhere else in America, although as 1981 progressed, the media began reporting on the "gay cancer," and homophobia escalated throughout the country. Numberwise, the hardcore scene didn't seem any more or less populated by homosexuals than most major cities were. Then again, the scene attracted the margin walkers, the folks who were outside the norms of society, so maybe there was a slightly higher ratio of gays to straights. Zoë Challenger VO: According to several sources, Grant wasn't the only person Bad Brains mistreated. Lori Barbero, who drummed and sang in Babes in Toyland, remembers similar behavior toward Randy "Biscuit" Turner of Texas punk quartet the Big Boys. Lori Barbero: Think they did the same thing to one of the guys from the Big Boys down in Austin, Texas, because he was gay. And I heard kinda the same story. And it's like then don't – if you know they're gay, why would you even stay at their house? Zoë Challenger VO: In Finding Joseph I: An Oral History of H.R. from Bad Brains, punk rock activist Mark Andersen also mentions the band's mistreatment of Biscuit. He echoes Bob Mould's thoughts on margin walkers: quote, "Weren't we all in the punk rock underground because we were all different, and because none of us felt like we really belonged out there?" In 1989, Bad Brains released the song "Don't Blow Bubbles," which guitarist Dr. Know described as an "angry warning to homosexuals." One chorus goes, quote, "Don't blow no bubbles and we can stop the AIDS/ Don't blow no spikes/ Don't blow no fudge buns/ Ask Jah and he'll make the change." By this point, 100,000 cases of HIV/AIDS had been reported in the U.S., and the public health crisis would get much worse before the government approved the first antiretroviral drugs in 1995. It's shocking to hear H.R. cite "P.M.A" – Bad Brains catchphrase "Positive Mental Attitude" – in the same song as he encourages, as a fundamentalist Rastafarian, that non-straights pray the gay away. In 2007, bassist Darryl Jenifer addressed the band's past worldview with some remorse, saying, quote, "Damn right, I was a homophobe! [...] You have to grow to be wise." As more details about Bad Brains' homophobia came to light, the Current Rewind team weren't feeling too good about focusing this episode on such a disappointing group. So we turned to the third band on that night's line-up: Sweet Taste of Afrika. Before learning about the show, I had never heard of that band before, and neither had our producer, Cecilia Johnson. But we were excited to learn that they're from the Twin Cities. Joe Shalita: So I came to the Twin Cities in the '80s and I've been in – you know – participating in the music and art industry all that time. Zoë Challenger VO: This is Joe Shalita, Sweet Taste of Afrika's lead guitarist and the man the Twin Cities Daily Planet has called "the face of African music in the Twin Cities." He grew up in Uganda and moved to Minneapolis in 1979. Joe Shalita: When you grow up in Africa, you have – music is a big part of our culture – people are tilling the garden, they're always using music to till the garden or till the land. Whether they're chopping trees down, they're gonna be singing along. [Shalita laughs] Zoë Challenger VO: And when he got to Minneapolis, he found a small but strong African music scene. Joe Shalita: In those days, really, there were a whole lot of live bands, live groups of almost every genre, but Simba was the original roots-reggae band in the Twin Cities. And then there was the calypso band, which was Shangoya with the late great Peter Nelson. Then there was Sweet Taste of Afrika, which was our band, which performed strictly African music. [Sweet Taste of Afrika's "Children of the Nile"] Joe Shalita: Hassan [Omari] was our lead singer, and then there was Mr. Robert Mpambara who was on bass. He's still in the Twin Cities. I was on lead guitar and also singing, and then there was Mr. David Mutebi from Uganda also. Mr. Mpambara was from Uganda; I was from Uganda; Mr. Mutebi from Uganda. So the Ugandans dominated the band. [Shalita laughs] He played rhythm guitar. And then we had native Minnesotans who played. We had the late Paul McGee on percussion [and] Mr. Ben Hill on drums. Zoë Challenger VO: In 1980, the band helped organize an event called Afro Fest. But most of the time, they had to rely on white bookers to let them onstage. Joe Shalita: We were really stubborn, because getting into First Avenue was not easy. And I know personally, I kept harassing Mr. McClellan – Steve McClellan – and I'm sure he got tired of listening to my voice – "Is that Joe Shalita calling again?" [Shalita laughs] Steve, wherever you're listening – it's true, because I kept bugging him all the time, said, "You gotta give me a chance! Come on, man. How many times do you have an African band on your stage?" And then, fortunately, First Avenue started having these big African stars coming in to grace the stage. They had, like, Tabu Ley Rochereau was like one of the superstars of Africa [who] came to First Avenue, and I think that opened their eyes, too, to say, "Ok." I was young in those days. But eventually they let us open for some artists – Bad Brains being one of them. Zoë Challenger VO: Sweet Taste of Afrika spent a little time in the studio, but to Shalita's knowledge, none of their music was ever released to the public. Joe Shalita: There are some YouTube videos of Sweet Taste of Afrika. Have you seen them? Cecilia Johnson: I have seen them! They're so good! Joe Shalita: I know! I was skinny, with a huge Afro. [Shalita laughs] I think David and Hassan may have some recordings, but I don't have any myself. I just look at those ones on YouTube and marvel at the quality of the sound and musicianship. I was like, "What?" [Shalita laughs] Zoë Challenger VO: According to Joe, the band had some creative differences, and they broke up in 1982. Joe found work as a roadie, then learned a little sound engineering, then formed his own band, Shalita, which lasted until 1999. He rarely performs these days, but he's planning to retire in a few years, and he dreams of returning to music. Joe Shalita: Art doesn't have an age limit. That's a good thing about art. Zoë Challenger VO: After learning about Sweet Taste of Afrika, we got to thinking about the Black rock artists who work in the Twin Cities today. Some are relatively well-known, having placed in "best new band" polls or opened for bigger acts. But sooo many of them have never been in the spotlight. And as we've learned while relying on microfilm and internet archives this season, the press has the power to preserve artists' legacy. So we decided to talk back to this narrative. Our producer Cecilia met up with a few Minnesota Black rockers – Matt Slater and Himes Alexander of the Smokes, plus Nadi McGill of Gully Boys – and asked them, what musicians inspire you? What constitutes a good legacy? What do you love about rock music? Nadi McGill: Um, I feel pure joy. It's like I can feel the oxytocin rushing through my body. It feels really good. Zoë Challenger VO: Nadi drums and sings in the Minneapolis rock band Gully Boys – who've performed in the First Avenue Mainroom and many times in the Entry. [Gully Boys' "New Song No. 2"] Nadi McGill: I'd always wanted to drum. My mom said no when I was a child, of course. A past partner was a very good drummer, and he had two [or] three drum kits, so I just sat down at one of the drum sets he had set up at his house and just started playing. Cecilia Johnson: What do you think of when you hear somebody talking about rock, or like, what is rock to you? What do you feel when you're listening? Nadi McGill: Everyone's playing their own instrument, like that's – the sound you hear is the sound that is being put out, and I think that's really cool. I think that's a really awesome aspect of rock. Zoë Challenger VO: Although they're a young artist, Nadi is already thinking about legacy. Nadi McGill: I will always be loud about what I believe in, and I'm always willing to be corrected, and I just want to be known and remembered as someone who used whatever platform that I had to make Minneapolis a better and safer place. For all people, but mostly femmes – fat femmes, femmes of color – in whatever space they choose to occupy... Every opportunity that we have, I try to encourage femmes to join a band, and then I specifically make a point to encourage Black femmes to join the band, because I feel like there is a lot of gatekeeping, and there is a lot of tokenization that happens, which is very annoying. I think the best way to kinda combat that tokenism and gatekeeping is to just be loud about it, and rock music is a great way to be loud about it. And you kinda just make your own space. Zoë Challenger VO: Nadi says they've taken inspiration from other Black rockers. Nadi McGill: I was obsessed with this band called Dance Gavin Dance when I was younger. I really was into pop punk music and a little bit of emo music, and Dance Gavin Dance I loved, and then I found out their guitarist was a Black musician, and I was even more in love, because it's very rare for me to see anyone who looked like me, not only in the crowd at the shows that I would love to go to, but on stage. Also, The Smokes locally? Two Black amazing punk rockers. And my favorite is that Matthew, the drummer rocks an Afro while he's playing. They sing about racial experiences that they've had. And then I appreciate that they're transplants as well. They're not even from here, but they kinda came here, and they were like what's up, like we are here to rock. So that's amazing. Cecilia Johnson: [laughing] We are here to rock. Nadi McGill: Honestly, like they really did. I remember I saw them for the first time. It was, like, maybe a week or two weeks after they had moved here, and I was like, "Welcome! Welcome, let's do this," like, "Y'all came like riding on the pavement 100 miles per hour," and I was so stoked to have them here. [The Smokes' "2 I Luv" (demo)] Himes Alexander: Black pride is something that's difficult for a lot of people to swallow, but is inevitable as you look at the influence that Black culture has had on American society, especially. Zoë Challenger VO: That's Himes Alexander of the Smokes, a two-piece garage/punk/indie/soul band who've been performing together for about five years. Himes and his cousin Matt Slater grew up in Spokane, Washington and moved to the Twin Cities in 2017. They've learned from many Black artists around the world. Matt Slater: This is a really broad one to start with, but I really love Fela Kuti. I've always loved Fela Kuti for lots of reasons. I've got like a soft spot for funk, and he was like a – just comes off as like this African king to me. And then jumps around musically so freely, like, just like feels the spirit of the music. And it was like, oh my god. This music is so Black, so free, and so it like captures his voice so well that like even now I hear it and it just like it makes you feel good, inspires to actually say something – say something real, and it doesn't have to be like a downer. Himes Alexander: I'd like to talk about a collective like Odd Future who has a bunch of different bands, a bunch of different projects coming out of the same collective, and there's a wide range of eclectic taste when it comes to all of that. You know, Steve Lacy is doing some sort of indie thing. The Internet is electronic R&B or – and even goes outside of that, and [Earl] Sweatshirt and Tyler the Creator are enigmatic, like you can't really hold them down to one thing. Matt Slater: And then there was the drummer from – god, why can't I – Himes Alexander: Yellowcard? Matt Slater: Yeah, the drummer from Yellowcard. Who cares about Yellowcard? [The Smokes laugh] The drummer from Yellowcard was this Black dude with dreads, and it was like hell yeah, I wanna do that. I literally – I was like I didn't even like their music. I was just like yes, cool. Zoë Challenger VO: The Smokes have brought up several musicians who made an impact on them. For me, Whitney Houston, Nina Simone, and Janis Joplin have probably been my biggest musical influences. Years after Houston's death, her friend Robyn Crawford told The Guardian about their queer past, saying, quote, "Our friendship was intimate on all levels." Both Simone and Joplin also held relationships with both men and women. And going back to the beginnings of rock and roll, artists like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Big Mama Thornton, and Little Richard experimented not only with instruments and genre, but also with their sexualities. Many beacons of musical creativity have occupied many different identities – there is no "prime" or perfect human being, whatever H.R. or anyone else might say. Like it or not, Bad Brains are part of rock history. It's true that their actions were garbage. But it's also true that they inspired members of Fishbone, Rage Against the Machine, ho99o9, and many more groups to make rock music. They played First Avenue during a complicated and sometimes tense time in the club's history, with respect to race. Many of the Black bands who played there were not supported by press, radio play, or strong ticket sales, and community members noticed. In fact, one of the people who would've been paying attention was Prince. Cecilia Johnson VO: Thank you, Zoë. In 1983, the year after the Bad Brains show, Prince would take the First Avenue stage to change the club – and music history – forever. As we'll see in our next episode, the artist who catapulted First Ave from a well-known local rock club to an international destination was a genre-fluid Black rocker. And that was no coincidence. [Icetep's "Hive Sound"] Cecilia Johnson VO: This episode of The Current Rewind was hosted by Zoë Challenger and me, Cecilia Johnson. I produced this episode, with research and consulting by Taylor Seaberg. Marisa Morseth is our research assistant, and Jay Gabler is our editor. Our theme music is the song "Hive Sound" by Icetep. This episode was mixed by Johnny Vince Evans. Thank you to Brett Baldwin, Rick Carlson, Matthew Gallaway, Dirim Onyeneho, Jackie Renzetti, David Safar, and Jesse Wiza for additional support.

Baxie talks to the legendary Bob Mould of Husker Du! Bob talks about his new album, "Blue Hearts"(the 15th solo album of his career), Husker Du, the late Grant Hart, his new 24-CD Box Set, professional wrestling and lot of other stuff too!

Scot and Jeff discuss Hüsker Dü with Andrew Feinberg. Introducing the Band: Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Andrew Feinberg. Andrew is a Washington, D.C.-based journalist whose coverage of the White House, Capitol Hill, and other political venues and matters of import has appeared in The Independent, Newsweek, Breakfast Media, and Politico Magazine. Follow him on Twitter at @AndrewFeinberg. Andrew's Music Pick: Hüsker Dü Is this your celebrated summer? You might not think so given the state of the world in 2020, but Political Beats is here to convince you that it still could become true if you immerse yourself in the music of one of America's most fearlessly inventive, creative, and critically adored indie bands, Hüsker Dü! (Don't let the exotic-sounding name throw you off: These were three Minneapolis-St. Paul kids naming themselves after a Scandinavian board game from the 1970s.) The Hüskers — Bob Mould (guitars, vocals, songwriting), Grant Hart (drums, vocals, rival songwriting), and Greg Norton (bass, peerless mustache) — emerged from the MSP-area D.I.Y. punk scene to first become the most fearsome hardcore band on the planet, and then swiftly developed into one of the most ambitious and melodic groups of the entire 1980s. From their early years as punk neophytes to their era as the world's most intensely ear-shredding hardcore band to their creative zenith to their legendarily bitter collapse and break-up, the Hüskers blazed a path through rock music that remains unique to this day, and left behind some of the finest music of the decade. Searingly personal, buoyantly poppy and melodic, skin-rippingly hardcore . . . and often all three of these things simultaneously: Join us on a journey beyond the threshold as we (most likely) introduce you to the work of Hüsker Dü (and also quite a bit of solo Bob Mould).

For Episode 10, Jude and Greg are joined by Kamala Radha (Sugar Shack Records) to talk about Hüsker Dü. Tune in as Kamala talks about growing up in the 90's New Jersey hardcore scene, spirituality, sexuality, Grant Hart's Nova Mob and much more!

For episode 5, Somethin To Dü welcomes a special guest, Jeff Dean. Jeff plays/played in bands such as Airstream Futures, The Bomb, All Eyes West, Noise By Numbers, Dead Ending and tons of others. Listen as Jeff discusses his roots in the Las Vegas hardcore scene, playing with Bob Mould, meeting Grant Hart, his favorite Hüsker related songs and so much more!

       We listened to the track "Don't Want to Know If You Are Lonely" from Husker Du's Candy Apple Grey while drinking and making fires in the woods of VT. Rob and Jim join us to make a mess of interpreting this song. Is the narrator being a dick or just hurt or has a stalker been annoying the hell out of him?

“Greg Norton Says You Have To Be Reminded All The Time You Can Be Better” Nobody would fault Greg Norton for resting on his laurels. After all, he played bass in Hüsker Dü, who is one of the most influential and important bands of all time. But Norton is not one of those guys who coasts through life—he’s a hard worker and pushes himself to be a better version of himself every day. Norton joined the Minneapolis-based band Porcupine last year and they’ve just put out a fabulous new six-song effort called What You’ve Heard Isn’t Real. In this interview Norton chats with Alex about having not picked up his instrument in 14 years, what it’s like to play bass in Porcupine, and the three rules he goes by for raising his children. Norton also talks about the importance of taking criticism, his friendship with Grant Hart, what the last Hüsker Dü gig was like and the unpleasantness of having beer cans thrown at you.

       We listen to Husker Du's, Warehouse: Songs and Stories which Matt decided is their most underrated album. We get into their Black Flag connection, the midwest, SST records and the highly recommend Andrew Earles book. Bob Mould and Grant Hart weren't talking, they were on Warners records and barely toured with this material but this could be the bands best record for 40's Matt and Jason. What would Husker Du?

Our guest today is Gorman Bechard, director of acclaimed films on NC greats Archers of Loaf, the Replacements, the late great Grant Hart of Husker Du and Lydia Loveless.  Recently he's completed a documentary on Sarah Shook & The Disarmers.  Two songs are included in this podcast: a Lydia Loveless tune called "Heaven" from the vinyl only EP: "Live from the documentary Who Is Lydia Loveless?" The other is a Jay Bennett track entitled, "It Might Have Looked Like We Were Dancing from his LP "The Beloved Enemy."

This week, it's part 1 of my discussion with Phil Stacey about how we deal with losing musicians we love. Show notes: - Gord Downie died a few weeks ago - Many high-profile music deaths in last few years - Musicians are getting older, but also some tragic deaths - Phil: Elvis Presley's death was memorable - Lennon's death was shocking - Phil: Cobain and Jerry Garcia's deaths hit hard - Jay: The plane crash that killed Randy Rhoads stands out - Lemmy, Bowie and Prince all died within a few months of each other - Chris Cornell's death earlier this year came as a surprise - Many big-name musicians died this year: Gregg Allman, Tom Petty, Chuck Berry, Grant Hart, Walter Becker - You tend to dig into the back catalog - Bowie's death kicked off a rough 2016 for music fans - Losing Prince was a gut punch - Jay: Saw the Tragically Hip many times over the years - Downie released a posthumous double album - Very captivating live performer - Watched a lot of concert videos and documentaries on YouTube after he died - Downie focused on indigenous people's rights in his last few years - To be continued   Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.

In the first of this illuminating five-part history of the great Twin Cities punks Husker Du, we meet the band before they became a band, following Grant Hart and Greg Norton as they grow up in St. Paul, and then encounter Bob Mould, a new kid at Macalester College with a Flying V guitar and a love for punk rock equal to theirs.

The second in this intimate five-part history of the great Twin Cities band Husker Du follows Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and Greg Norton as they form a band and move from playing covers (as Buddy and the Returnables) to prolific songwriters, becoming a pillar of the Minneapolis-St. Paul punk community.

The third episode of this history of the Twin Cities punk rock greats finds Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and Greg Norton hitting the road, turning itself into America's fastest hardcore band, making its classic first recordings -- 1982's Land Speed Record and "In a Free Land" and 1983's Everything Falls Apart -- and making national waves. Featuring interviews with Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and Henry Rollins (Black Flag).

The tension between Husker Du members Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and Greg Norton is beginning to show in the fourth of five episodes dedicated to the band's history -- but the music is too great to deny. This episode covers the SST years, in which the Huskers released a string of masterpieces, including the 1984 double album Zen Arcade.

Husker Du signs to Warner Bros., breaks up, and lives on in a new box set from the Numero Group in this jam-packed fifth episode. Featuring candid, funny, and insightful interviews with members Bob Mould, Greg Norton, and the late Grant Hart, Do You Remember's finale goes deep on the classics Candy Apple Grey and Warehouse: Songs and Stories, the band's split, and the new early-years compendium 'Savage Young Du.'

Happy Happy Joy Joy Vol 2: With the Vegas concert tragedy and Tom Petty's death the world needs levity. Join us while we discuss Flat Earthers, Vinnie Vincent, our would be rapper names and more.

On this week's episode we discuss the drummer of Hüsker Dü, a man who potentially saved the world, a modern day Renaissance Man and a beloved reporter for the New Yorker.

Q: Where is the best place to find massive LAFFS, monstrous new music, charming chat (both kinds: serious and silly) AND at least 40 minutes of hot nineties guys playing board games? A: The new ‘Quiz Night’ Episode of Wolfmania The Podcast, of course. In this week’s very special, ever-so-slightly-harrowing, 100 minute monster jam Andrew and Tim pay a surprisingly heartfelt tribute to the great Harry Dean Stanton and Grant Hart (and then ruin it with a still-heartfelt-but-possibly-poor taste musical homage). We help to discover the NHS’ hottest new lie-down comedian, go slamdancing with the Quincy punks, and test our knowledge (and patience) as we play a politically-charged game of Mike Read’s Pop Quiz. Plus: Jesus Jones doing yoga! Florence and the Machine’s choreographer! Judas Priest in an MRI machine! Font news! Instagram stickers! Totally Killing the Community Clinic! Kim Wilde! Morrissey knows about Phil Collins! Relax! ChIPS! Mayhem! Escape Goats! Busker Du! Heavy weather! More! Warning: This week’s episode has some swearing left in it. Because it’s cool when Harry Dean Stanton does it.

So many talented musicians perform on Sound Opinions, but we don't always have time to air every song. Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot share some of their favorite never-before-heard live performances from guests like Courtney Barnett, Drive-By Truckers, and more. Plus, a tribute to Grant Hart of Hüsker Dü.

In memory of the late Grant Hart, we got together to discuss the legacy of Husker Du, their place in punk rock history, and the evolving dynamic between Hart and Bob Mould that spawned some of the greatest albums of the 1980s. If Husker Du is a band you've always recognized as important but never quite dug into, we've curated a custom Starter Kit playlist for you to dip your toe into some of their best albums. Enjoy. https://open.spotify.com/user/thebrotherpod/playlist/00z557yaAWNQ8BCEeSrq1F

Welcome to The TopDollar Hour. This is Tunacan Jones. Tonight's show is 3 hours that feature the work of Grant Hart.In Husker Du, Nova Mob and his solo work, he was always honest with the art, relationships and the emotions involved. His music and words has influenced my own work from first listens to the revisits that I have done in the last couple of days. These next 3 hours, i hope, will give you what he gave me. I'll start the show witha fun bonus track, an intro demo from The Last Days of Pompeii, named simply, It's Nova Mob Nova Mob - (Intro) It's Nova Mob (bonus track) (1:26)Nova Mob - Wernher Von Braun (2:17)Grant Hart - Barbara (4:17)Hüsker Dü - She's a Woman (and Now He Is a Man) (3:21)Grant Hart - A Letter from Anne Marie (6:00)Hüsker Dü - Pink Turns to Blue (2:42)Nova Mob - Admiral Of The Sea (79 A.D.

Quite a bit more broad. For example on the last album released, as well as there being the Echo and Narcissus song, there’s a song about Charles Hollis Jones, who’s a furniture designer, as well as something that is based on a remark made by a Buddhist monk during the selection of the Panchen Lama. He said, in reference to the candidate for Lamahood: “Oh, he is like the reflection of the moon on the water but he’s not the moon” and I used that as an inspiration. I guess I would have to examine the earlier stuff but I think it was probably more like emotional involvements, feeling your way through relationships and things like that. But that seems to find it’s integration into the new stuff as well.Interview by Imelda Michalczyk(August 2013)Rockshot MagHüsker Dü - She Floated Away (3:38)Grant Hart - I Am Death (2:33)Grant Hart - I Knew All About You Since Then (2:08)Hüsker Dü - No Promise Have I Made (3:41)Husker Du - Books About UFOs (2:49)Grant Hart - California Zephyr (2:59)Hüsker Dü - Flexible Flyer (3:02)Grant Hart - Shine, Shine, Shine (4:33)Hüsker Dü - Green Eyes (3:02)Nova Mob - See and Feel and Know (2:43) Q: Where do songs come from? I've listened many times to this explanation: "they are out there floating and you just have to be 'tuned' so you can get them". It's the classic idea of inspiration as an outer force. Is it just easier to attribute it to higher powers?A: I believe we attribute to higher powers that which we find god-like in ourselves. There is a mystical moment often called the moment of inspiration when we realize we have an exciting idea. If it were a duplicable event, then it would not be special feeling. There is a certain gloating that happens when we realize that we are to be given credit for something that just occurred. What is better than to be able to say, if only for a moment, “I am brilliant!"' Whether we acknowledge it or not it, is satisfying to be creative, to be a creator, to match God. Doing what we like to do, in a fashion and to a degree uncommon, (it) feels pretty fucking good.From an Inteview by Luis Boullosa(August 2013)Website: Perfect Sound Forever Hüsker Dü - Turn On The News (4:27)Hüsker Dü - Keep Hanging On (3:19)Grant Hart - You're the Reflection of the Moon on the Water (4:20)Hüsker Dü - Never Talking To You Again (1:40)Grant Hart - She Can See The Angels Coming (3:47)Hüsker Dü - Every Everything (1:58)Hüsker Dü - Actual Condition (1:52)Nova Mob - The Sins of Their Sons (2:49)Hüsker Dü - Dreams Reoccurring (1:40)Grant Hart - Now That You Know Me (3:56)Grant Hart - Come, Come (3:17)Grant Hart - Underneath the Apple Tree (3:09)Grant Hart - Teeny's Hair (3:17)Grant Hart - It Isn't Love (4:15)Grant Hart - Charles Hollis Jones (4:23)Grant Hart - Out of Chaos (1:57)Grant Hart - Morningstar (4:19)Grant Hart - Awake, Arise! (5:16) Grant Hart had demons that could fuel a life or tear it down. He has managed to navigate through them all with his relationshop to art, music and the written word. His success was defined by his unwillingness to compromise on an artistic and personal level. As the cliche goes, it was a blessing and a curse. Grant Hart's legacy, however, is best left up for him to define.“A long time ago, I started looking at my permanent record — the history of me after I’m gone,” Grant Hart said. “Even to speak of it reeks of egotism run wild. But I think when all is said and done, the work that I produced in this lifetime will more than repay the world for any inconvenience I’ve caused it.” - from a 2009 Star Tribune interview.We're going to end the show with Grant Hart's song, "The Main" from his first solo album, "Intolerance", which was released on December 12, 1989.Thank you for listening.
