husker du - Page 2

I think it's a real shame that their 'seminal' status seems to have stopped a lot of people from really listening to them. They're sort of taken for granted as a 'key' band rather than, as Sarramkrop says, a truly brilliant one. Sometimes 'importance' can be a real barrier.

CHOUT · 08.30.2009, 08:20 PM

I'm looking forward to it...His last album was great.

I can't stand anything Mould has done in forever, but Hart with members of GSYBE sounds at least interesting.

Greg Norton with the original hipster mustache.

New Day Rising is probably their best raw record.

Yeah, my main source was 120 minutes and the "College" top 10 chart in the back of Rolling Stone mag.

Grant and Greg were onstage playing with the Meat Puppets a few months ago. It was an almost Huskers reunion.

Yeah the last album that did anything for me was that first self titled one he did on Rykodisc in '96. After that EVERYTHING has been a bust! Including that newest one! I really thought he'd be able to pull it off forever since the shit was HOT for so long. Then it came to a grinding halt.
