Working out well for you too, I assume?

"Jive-Ass Nightmare" - Supermodel (guitarist Jeff Budin was a genius. Nobody liked his band....the mid-to-late 90s was not the time to try to combine Eddie Van Halen guitar heroics with Am Rep scrawl, but he did it soooo well. I've always loved the album I had by them, and I didn't even know they had an album before that! Yay!)

"Antisocial Work" - U Joint....workaday Mpls rockers...flying the flannel..still...but good songwriting, nice garagey rocking....the way only minnesotans can do it. Still around, still making records in the same basement that my band does.

I'm listening to Voodoo Love Mint right now! Eau Claire Rock City!
