Husker Du - Flip Your Wig CD



Not my favorite Huskers album(that would be New Day Rising), but a good one. Hints of the more polished direction they would take over the next couple of albums. Just like everything else they've done, the production is pretty terrible, but worth getting through. One of the best bands to combine punk, hardcore, and indie rock/pop music IMHO. I'm not one of those "vinyl is always better" people, but in this case, you probably want to get the vinyl if you can. All these old SST CDs are flat transfers for the vinyl cutting masters and were not properly EQ'd for CD mastering.

^Nice one. I really like Husker Du although I don't have much of their albums. Not a big fan of New Day Rising though, it's not bad but I like their more punkish stuff.

^I like all the Huskers stuff from Metal Circus through Warehouse. Some of the earliest hardcore stuff is good too, but I haven't spent a ton of time with it. In general I think there were other bands in the 80s that did the fast/loud/straightforward HC thing better, which is kind of why I think Husker Du moved on from that stuff pretty quickly. I think there are some songs on NDR and Zen Arcade that you could still call hardcore (maybe melodic hardcore?) but it's obviously they had moved on from all that by then too.

Husker Du is pretty good . I was always partial to Metal Circus over their other albums.
Just finished listening to this...

Big Mama Thornton - Big Mama Vol.2 The Queen At Monterey . Limited edition ( 500 ) 180g gold vinyl . Such a great blues album . BMT kills it on here . Plus you have Muddy Waters and his band backing her . Don't let the title fool you , even though it sounds as if it may be a live jam , but it's a studio joint . But , the sound quality is amazing . This is a top notch great sounding blues album that I would recommend to anyone .

^I really need to expand my blues collection. I have maybe 10 blues LPs and maybe another dozen or so blues albums on CD, but that is it.
