Two renowned Minnesota rock expats announce new solo albums for 2025

Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü fame and the Jayhawks’ Gary Louris will release records this spring, with gigs to follow.

Very happy to see the Bob Mould Trio will be back in tow (though I'm never disappointed by a solo show either).
 

This is whole Paul Westerberg package in just 1 clip of this Replacement's tune that was also featured in Say Anything.

Within Your Reach
 

Happy Birthday wishes to honor Jayhawks & Golden Smog member Gary Louris who turned 70 today.

That makes him exactly twice as old as the lyrical reference in this one from Sound of Lies.

Quite a gimmick for KQ92 to play Soul Asylum's Somebody to Shove on a loop this past Tuesday.

I bailed on KQ completely, circa 1989. I've gone decades without even having 92.5 programmed in my favorite stations on my FM dial in the car.

Interesting that now they are going to play the music that I sought out on other stations/outlets at that time.

Like, literally the same 90s music.

I'm with you. Hated the morning show so much.... Haven't even given it a thought for 20+ years. I might now, though.

Seems like a smart move with their audience getting so old. They needed to target us spry 50 somethings.

I checked in on it today for a minute and it was indeed weird to hear Depeche mode on KQ

I tried them twice yesterday. Bush and then Dire Straits. Don't know what to think.

Today's sampling:

Cracker
Rolling Stones
Cure
Billy Idol again (different song)
Foo Fighters

All of that is fine, but is it any different than what they were playing up to last month?!?
