I owe you fellas a huuuuuuge apology. I've had the Arriere Garde LP for a couple of months but never listened to it. Until Friday night, that is (good thing I'm a loser!). Incredible! Worthy of all the praise it has received. Gentlemen, please accept my apology.
Done with tour. Still got your topper in one piece (well, two technically.) Gotta find a way to get it back up north still though. I think I'm taking the bus up in the next couple of days. We should drink beers and record songs. Listened to you guys alot on the road. You NEED to release that thing Dale was gonna do.
Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones Arriere Garde LP (S-S) $10 new The Algoma Chamber of Commerce says, "Algoma's current population is approximately 3400. Visitors to Algoma are amazed by the diversity of the options offered to them." What we have here is the most diverse option that little corner of Wisconsin has to offer: Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones. The four guys who make up the Ones have a wretchedly fine angle on rock & roll that constantly spellbind the folks at the Captain's Mistress. "Whose dat sound like?" they ask. The same question comes up when the fellas take the stage at Shanty Days. But editor Lee Lawrenz of the Kewaunee County News knows what's up. He writes, "You might listen to Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones and think, "That sounds like the Scientists," or "I think they stole that from the Gibson Bros.", or "That boss sound reminds me Neil Young with a flame in his ass" and you'd be right and wrong. The Joyless Ones are all that and none of that, too. They are Algoma boys and we are proud of them." This is Hue Blanc's third record. Previously they released a 7" on Trick Knee and then a LP on P Trash. We think this one is the best yet. White vinyl.

I was gently reminded that I had not commented on Hue Blanc's Joyless One's CD "Fait Accompli". I am a dick. I enjoyed it actually. Casey was afraid that I'd dislike it and wonder where the hell all the interest is in Germany! Ich bein ein Hue Blanc! I've listened to it several times, it's cool, it's different, I like it!!!
