New albums from a former locals Bob Mould & Gary Louris:

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.
Big Star

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.

KQRS 92.5 FM relaunches with more ‘90s alt-rock and familiar new DJs

Ex-staffers from the Current and Cities 97 will join Steve Gorman on air as the classic rock radio station aims for more Gen X listeners.

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