DEAD SET ON DESTRUCTION
DON'T WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE LONELY
SORRY SOMEHOW
HARDLY GETTING OVER IT
TOO FAR DOWN
I heard this (Candy Apple Grey) for the first time in '88 or '89, I think. Can't remember. K used to listen to it a lot on a cassette. It sounded like shit. But it felt deeply midwestern in a way that I can't articulate. Like being in Columbus, Ohio or Milwaukee in October. Or maybe even Mankato in Minnesota.
The album is not known as one of their best. But it is my favorite of theirs, bar none.
And just so it's clear: I always preferred Grant Hart over Bob Mould. Still do.
When song titles describe how you feel, a kind of songomatopeia:
