Early recordings by Hüsker Dü are being released by Chicago based crate digging label Numero Group. The three session tracks were made in 1980, at Minneapolis's Blackberry Way Studio, pressed with a fourth track recorded live at Duffy's. This is an early heads up: Numero are releasing double 7" for Record Store day later this year (penned in for 20 April).

Three of the recordings ("Statues", "Writer's Cramp" and "Let's Go Die") were from the Blackberry Way sessions for Hüsker Dü's debut single on Twin/Tone, a deal which fell through. Grant Hart, Bob Mould and Greg Norton then decided to put out a 10" on their own, and recorded a live version of "Amusement" before finances meant that only two of the tracks made it out, on a 7" for Reflex Records in 1981.

Numero have remastered the Hüsker Dü recordings and are pressing up the 2x7" in a run of 4000, with a gatefold sleeve. More details here, and listen to "Statues" below.

If this is legit, I'm a little wary of all these long lengths. I'm not against that per se but I'm hoping it's not another 'Tomorrow In a Year' that's all texture and atmospherics and very few hooks.
nothing could be another . . . that album.  ughhh.  i would take one hundred minute long songs, if it was the knife.  they better play america, and it better not be some ny/la only show either.  fuckers.
I remember during the snowmageddon that we badly needed groceries so I decided to be The Man of the family and walk to the Unsafeway about 8 blocks away in the hurtling snowstorm. Smoked a J on the way and listened to Silent Shout on the walk and it was the most perfect soundtrack possible, like very moving and powerful.

Then I got to the store and it was closed so I had to walk home empty-handed and my wife busted me the minute I walked in the door.
oh you crazy heterosexuals . . . and your wives.

when i hear marble house, i melt.

This is all preliminary to Shields' plan to blow up the internet.
Don't know what this was recorded on and how much damage it did but a few friends of mine were there and all said the sound in Brixton tonight was horrible, though they enjoyed the show.

Here's a video of one of their new songs.

This is looking more like bullshit. That is, if these quotes are correct:

Audience: "When's the new album out?"
Kevin: "Maybe 2 or 3 days…"

Repost of Knife video. I'm just assuming this is what its like in Sweden all the time.

watched it this morning.  eh so far in my mind.  the video was ok, a little boring and it seems like it going for crazy shock value in a world shocked out.  we all know that fucked up people are out there, stop reminding us.  the music went in spurts of "i like this" . . . to "dear lord, it looks like silent shout was their masterpiece."  but who knows.  it is just one song.  and i never judge after only one listen.  was it just me, or was the last minute of the song, the best?


Did I miss this in here?
you know what i thought when i first saw that yyy album cover . . . nirvana rip off.
Not their best…. Would have been fine with just the mosquito, honestly. Or even just the YYYs at the bottom. The baby really loses me.
Kinda reminds me of Garbage Pail Kids. Man those little shits were hot.
