Music Friday: "Makes No Sense at All"

Speaking of Husker Du, here's a video from the band, one of their more popular songs, "Makes No Sense at All." Click HERE to relive the pleasure of the 80s.

And if you want to watch the band scare an audience on a local, low budget, weekday talk show from the Twin Cities called "Good Company," you might get some giggles by clicking HERE.

"You know, ordinarily when we have music on our show, it's kind of middle of the road. That is ending now. You're about to hear a band that is a, what would would you call it, just a breakout, wild, full tilt sound. And they're called Husker Du."

It was actually a pretty good interview, don't you think? The host had obviously done his homework and he pushed for answers to what sounded like real questions. He strikes me as a man who senses that the middle aged mid-western women who listen to his show are harder to shock than people think and likely to be supportive of local talent.

Yep, he did a fine job overall. The incongruity of Husker Du's music and that demographic made me smile though. Nice situational irony.

Then again, the host was fishing for how crazy Europeans were, and the riot happened in New York City.

That combo of Midwestern housewives and that band seems like a strange fit though ~ as if my Mom, who grew up enjoying big band swing music and Hank Williams, would like The Replacements, which she doesn't.

One of the members of the band, Bob Mould made one of my favorite albums of all time, Workbook. And Black Sheets of Rain is fine damn album too.
