Husker Who?

[Mattman]

OK, so I’m asking for some help on my latest mix…

I’ve got this friend, Paul, who spends most of his time listening to Van Halen, Bon Jovi, et al. However, the last time he was over at my place, I had ‘Where You Been’ playing and he really seemed to like it (he is a guitarist.) So, I’m already working on a Dinosaur Jr mix for him…

Now I’m thinking that I could probably get him hooked on Husker Du, so I’m going to make him a mix for that as well…

Here’s a few candidates for the mix. As you folks in the know can probably tell, I tend to lean more towards Mould’s stuff than Hart’s, but I realize that he has some very good stuff as well. So, there is plenty of room left on the disk, what do you suggest that I add? Saves me the trouble of having to sort through so many great songs, if I get some of you to take on the burden as well..

Don’t Want To Know If You Are Lonely
Eiffel Tower High
Makes No Sense At All
Celebrated Summer
59 Times the Pain
These Important Years
Standing In the Rain
Ice Cold Ice
Could You Be the One
Too Much Spice
She Floated Away
Bed of Nails

Heheh, looking back on it, seems like most of my stuff comes from ‘Warehouse’. Maybe you folks could help me be a little less biased toward Mould as well. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Hey, some great suggestions there Allison. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Yeah, Paul even has the Van Halen logo tatooed on his arm. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] But, like I said, he did like Dino, so there’s hope for the boy.

Listening to ‘Flip Your Wig’ right now. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Looks like we both forgot to list ‘Games’. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] I’ll have to remedy that immediately. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

from NDR:
New day rising

From WhSS:
It’s not peculiar

From Zen Arcade:
Turn on the news
Never talking to you again
Pink turns to blue
Something I learned today

Eight miles high (if you can find that on cd….)

[AGAP]

Good call on Games, definitely a must!!!! Great songs Den Buck…gotta love Eight Miles High!!!
I have that disc, Love is All Around is amazing [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Hmmm, put up the final mix when your done…may have to make my own [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Cool choices for Husker songs [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Yeah,Games is a good one,Eight Miles High is amazing.
Here some from me:
Newest Industry
I Apologize
Books About UFO`s

[shrafro]

Whatever
Somewhere (the song that pulled me in for good)
Everything Falls Apart

I think those songs would let the guy know that the band had a command over what they wanted to express and how well they did it.

[Mattman]

More great suggestions Salamiguy. I’m starting to wonder if I’m gonna be able to fit all of these onto one CD. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Eight Miles High is a must though… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

DOH! I missed ‘Turn On the News’ too… [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] I must be slipping. Good call on that one den buck. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Divide & Conquer and Ain’t No Water in the Well are 2 of my favorites that haven’t been mentioned. Agreed that you need Eight Miles High. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

[Mattman]

OK, here’s my final draft… It’s 9 seconds short of the 80 minute limit. 23 tracks, and still not room for everything I wanted to put on it. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Anything you folks think I should replace on there?

These Important Years
Don’t Want to Know if You are Lonely
Makes No Sense At All
Celebrated Summer
Standing In The Rain
Green Eyes
Chartered Trips
Something I Learned Today
Could You Be The One?
Too Much Spice
Eight Miles High
Eiffel Tower High
59 Times the Pain
Dead Set on Destruction
Never Talking To You Again
Ice Cold Ice
Sorry Somehow
Divide And Conquer
Somewhere
Games
Hardly Getting Over It
Turn On The News
Everything Falls Apart

That’s a very nice one, Mattman, I might be making a ‘copy’ of it myself….. (if I change something I will tell it here!)

[jalokamaniac]

in the process of turning someone to
Bob Mould
what’s the best hoosker doo album
and consequent materials
that should be gradually checked out
in edible steps
for someone who’s not too familiar
with all of their stuffs ?

[Bucky Ramone]

Hey FLP,

den Buck suggests (for starters <img> ):

Husker Du: New Day Rising, Flip your wig, Warehouse songs & stories
Bob Mould: Workbook
Sugar: Copper Blue
Grant Hart: Intolerance
Greg Norton: a meal at ‘the Staghead’ in Red Wing, Minnesota <img> <img> :

"If your destination is Red Wing, head for the Staghead. Former rocker Greg Norton (he was the bassist for Husker Du) runs the kitchen, and he specializes in refreshing takes on tried-and-true American standards. The wine list is the envy of restaurants twice its size, and the dark, soothing, turn-of-the-century decor stands head-and-shoulders above its neighbors. Reasonable prices, too."
