SOTD: Pagans | She’s a Cadaver | The Blue Album | Smog Veil | CD 08

Joanie wanted me to mention that the straight edge documentary she was talking about Thursday is repeating on Sunday night on National Geographic. I forgot to mention it, but this is almost as good? If I’m not on the air next week, you know why.

SOTD: The Replacements | Ain’t No Crime | Radio Sampler | Rhino | CD 08

I usually don’t pick retrospectives but this is the way I like to remember the Replacements. Raw and rocking rather than wimpy and boring.

FYI, the straight edge show I was yapping about repeats Sun. at 4PM on the National Geographic channel. Pretty interesting.

SOTD: Since I was going for the 90 theme, I have to go with the band I played today that had their debut in 1990:
Breeders | Walk It Off | Mountain Battles | 4AD | CD 08

Making fun of Bernsie has been the best-received thing I have ever done in the station.

Number of times I confused Ben Kochan with Ted Young in one conversation: 3. I kept saying “Ted” and he kept saying “BEN!!” but I thought it was just Ted asking if I was still there. Sorry Ben.

I like that New Frustrations 7″. I’ve had a history of liking Lemuria, but I don’t know how good this new album is yet- I haven’t really had a chance to listen. Its very poppunk. They were the topic of this comic, in fact. And while I’m shilling Mitch Clem comics, since I did lead with Jawbreaker, I have to include this one too.
