After weeks of record high temps and no snow on the ground for a month, winter returned to #Minnesnowta. May as well bring back some other #Minnesota memories with #HuskerDu#MaryTylerMoore.

Looks like I am having a day of inspecting musical sacred cows that I have previously bounced off. Got about halfway through #HuskerDu Zen Arcade and while it was fine, I wasn't loving it (fwiw I love Copper Blue by Sugar). Now I am trying on #Unwound Leaves Turn Inside You to see if I can finish it for the first time at least #music#punk#postrock#posthardcore#alternative#NowPlaying

Metal Circus is an EP by the American punk rock band Hüsker Dü, which was released in October 1983 and is characterized by the band's own hardcore punk style.
‘Corporate Rock Sucks’ author Jim Ruland on how Greg Ginn's label - host to Black Flag, Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr and so many more - changed the direction of punk rock, post-punk, and indie.
NOTE: Both tunes are from #MetalCircus, one of the first hardcore/indie rock albums I ever bought at Yesterday And Today Records in Rockville, Maryland. RIP Skip Groff.
Heads up: I’m bringing a music listening project that I’ve been working on over to mastodon now. I’ve been calling it “Radio to the Death”.
Basically I wanted to listen to Rolling Stone’s top 500 albums of all time. But also, I’m me, so everything has to be a game of some kind. As such, I took all the albums and made a tournament bracket seeded by order in the original list. I listen to each pair of albums (in one sitting, ideally) and declare a winner. #RadioToTheDeath
