  1. 17 March 1986 saw the first major label release for Hüsker Dü, with their fifth album Candy Apple Grey.

    Not only a sonic blueprint for the upcoming alternative music wave that would take the early 90's mainstream by storm, the ever evolving hardcore underground legends showed other indie bands that it was indeed possible to go 'major' without losing integrity and creative vision.

    Flip Your Wig
    Year Unknown U.S. reissue

    Sending Flip Your Wig out to @donutage , because it’s HIS fault that I’m now plowing through the Husker discography.

    FYW was the LAST record they made for SST before they signed to Warner Bros., and it’s got one of my favorite Husker songs on it in “Makes No Sense At All”, which was also their very first video, and the first song of theirs to garner significant rock radio airplay.

    The ALBUM on whole leans the heaviest towards pop songwriting they ever had at that point.
    Bob Mould is also on the record in saying that HE thinks it’s the bands best record.
    There’s only one thing that keeps me from agreeing with him.
    Grant Hart’s horrible, awful, and reprehensible “The Baby Song”. Take that atrocity OFF Flip Your Wig, and it’s absolutely flawless.

    Lets du another one.

    Having a bit of a loud Sunday morning.
    After listening to Zen Arcade yesterday, I knew I was gonna do this one today.

    NDR is simultaneously more savage AND poppier than Zen.
    Bob was at the height of his drinking around this time, and apparently wasn’t the best to be around. Whatever was going on with all of them certainly didn’t effect what to this day, is a GRADE A full-blown #alternative rock masterstroke. Every bit as good as Zen Arcade.

    New Day Rising was about a decade too early.

    If this album had dropped in 1995, these songs would have been all over the radio. That’s a fact.

  7. I've been listening to a lot of #HüskerDü lately. Zen Arcade turns out to be just the right length for a walk to get groceries from the nearest supermarket.

  10. Benjamin Moldenhauer in der Taz:
    "Alles, was man hier an Glück und Melodie findet, liegt nicht an der Oberfläche, sondern muss dem umfassenden Krach sozusagen abgerungen werden. Das versteht man dann sofort, auch 40 Jahre nachdem das Konzert zu Ende ist. Denn so wie in der Musik von Hüsker Dü ist es im Leben ja auch." 🖤

  11. Hüsker Dü!

    Oder, wie die Taz schreibt: "Eine nicht wiederholbare Mischung aus überdrehter Energie, die aus dem Hardcore der frühen 1980er kam [...]. Ein Händchen für Hooklines und Melodien, das viel Sixties-Bubblegum-Pop und die Beatles (beim First-Avenue-Gig zerlegt die Band liebevoll „Helter Skelter“ und „Ticket to Ride“) gehört hatte, und eine große Liebe zu Sixties-Psychedelia."

    Leider nie live gesehen.
