received a request for some husker du reposts, but dont worry cause i think this maybe all i have available at the present time. here is what i wrote, mostly verbatim when this was posted a couple years back.
this here is the men of husker du rehearsing the songs of warehouse before hitting the studio sometime between august and november of 86 – the date on the txt file is the 5th of august, but of course its debatable. the rehearsal is cut short by the minneapolis po-po who had several complaints that they were way too loud and you can actually hear the cop saying, and i am paraphrasing, “you guys cant believe how loud it is.” not only does this bring the songs of warehouse into a different light, but its also just pretty bad ass to have.

9. its not peculiar
10. too much spice

13. friend, you’ve got to fall
14. back from somewhere
