FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Some new DDC merch is up, and for sale at a fair price: The DDC Plectrum Set. You need this. Now shipping. Lovejoy is standing by.- - - -BLAST FROM THE PAST: 7 Seconds - Ourselves. I had it on tape. You know, from 1987, where punk bands went a little more, uh, "friendly," and even, "melodic," and just..."nicer" to listen to. Something like that. Dag Nasty's Field Day comes to mind also, and, man, I love these albums. I just file this shit under, "Skate Rock." It reminds me of skateboarding. Dag Nasty, Descendents, 7 Seconds, etc.I remember walking to class with this tape in my walkman. That would've been 1989.- - - -A little taste of an upcoming documentary on the Heyday Minneapolis' First Avenue. The Replacements footage is especially good.- - - - Speaking of those Twin Cities, Tucker Gerritt talks up Field Notes some on Typoscura. Welcome to the Sheet Team, man.
