Album cover video: “Beyond The Threshold” opens side 2 on Zen Arcade, which I feel compelled to remind you is a double album. Musically, the piece sounds like a typical Hüsker Dü song. Its even under two minutes, which was … Continue reading
Fan video: “Hare Krsna” is a Grant Hart written mind fuck. A psychedelic infused song that is somewhat reminiscent of “I Want Candy,” “Hare Krsna” suggests that the protagonist of Zen Arcade is getting involved with religion. It sounds like … Continue reading
Album cover video: I find it compelling that “Indecision Time” sounds like an early 80′s hardcore song by some band other than Hüsker Dü – it wouldn’t sound out of place on a Black Flag album. I especially love the … Continue reading
