Grant Hart

qwerty south

no use for a witticism
the former member of Husker Du passed away a few years ago without much public recognition of his life , influence and legacy. Some of his final work was arguably his best imo and even better than his famous works

husker du are the loudest band I ever saw, in the back room at Maxwell's (capacity: 120). it was like a sheen of white noise, could rarely make out which song they were even playing.

the stereotyping was that Grant was the more pop inclined of the two whereas Bob Mould was the one who made all the intense soulbearing songs(likely because he was still in the closet at the time) granted this doesn't hold up to well cause Grant did write "Diane", Pink turnes to blue and Turn on the news so it's not so simple

Don't forget mobb deep before that. Actually I had heard of them, but never heard them. I'm letting my ignorance hang out.
