Ah, great point! "Charted Trips" has always been one of my favorite jams. Would you agree that Bob Mould is Husker Du? I really can't stand about 90% of Grant Hart's songs . . .
Michael





Nov 26 2007 9:17 AM

Hey Ken -- Righteous Jams here! Would you ever consider doing an acoustic cover of Husker's "New Day Rising?"

hey there! Thanks so much for inviting us to your intimate space...these tunes sound great. We actually just uploaded our new record (2 years in the making) today. If you LOVE bands like Maroon 5, Dispatch, OAR, and Barenaked Ladies, then you should strongly consider rethinking why you've been so brainwashed by society. Listen to our raucous punk anthems about why anarchy might be the best choice. JK!!!. Please stop by and purchase some songs and give us some cash money.

Thanks for adding us to your friends list.

What ever happened to Gravitron? I found your cover of "I Can't Drive 55" to be inspiring.
