"Minniehaha"
6 Fat Dutchmen
RCA Victor LPM-1769 1958
Ooooom-pah! New Ulm's very own 6 Fat Dutchmen blazing up that Midwestern polka scene. Why heck, they played the Nebraska State Fair for 26 straight years, don't ya know. This album has some top-notch cover art by none other than the great Jack Davis.

Slapp Happy [25:04]
"The Drum"
Slapp Happy
Virgin V 2014 1974
This album was originally recorded with Faust as a backing band, but was rejected by their German label. After moving to London, the material was recorded with studio musicians. And of course, I came to this song by way of the excellent interpretation by Bongwater.

Ambitious Lovers [28:25]
"Admit It"
Slaves of New York
Virgin Movie Music 7 91229-1 1989
From a film that was very much of its time based on a collection of short stories by Tama Janowitz, oddly enough a Merchant and Ivory production. of the same title. At least it introduced me to Arto Lindsay.

Nomeansno [32:10]
"Junk"
Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed
Alternative Tentacles VIRUS 63 1988
The third studio album from these Vancouverian musicians. Space junk perhaps?

Stereo Jimi vox on one of my favorite Experience tunes.
