Finally some news on the Hüsker front. Numero will be releasing a live album from the January 30, 1985 show at First Avenue. From their IG:

Numero Group on Instagram: "The rumors are true. On January 30, 1985, Hüsker Dü recorded a peak high performance to 24 track tape at Minneapolis’s Firat Avenue club in front of their hometown massive. This performance was supposed to come out as a live album later that year, but the band’s rapid upward trajectory caused priorities to shift. The tapes were shelved – thought to be possibly lost in the same 2011 house fire that consumed a precious portion of the Hüsker Dü archive. Nearly 40 years later, these tapes have been rescued from the abyss, and we’ve tasked the team at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio on the transferring and Beau Sorensen at Tiny Telephone for the mixdowns. Today we are dropping the first batch for your listening pleasure alongside a limited '85 era tour shirt available this week only. We have a bunch of boxes of ephemera, photos, and tapes to go through so sit tight; we’re in the midst of a miracle year."

We should make a wish list and lobby Numero. Sounds like they are sitting on a trove.

“5 Songs, 10 minutes 58 seconds”…tell me you’re a Husker playlist without telling me you’re a Husker playlist :)

Tried to whittle down Numero's latest mailing but failed miserably. So below is just the text, if you'd like the full HTML email ping me off-list and I'll forward it.

Colin Meloy (singer of The Decemberists) did a quick live acoustic covers set, and the first song was Hardly Getting Over It. If you like Colin Meloy, you'll probably like it. It's fine. Not my favorite song. The other covers are from The Only Ones/Yo La Tengo, Grant Lee Buffalo, Bob Dylan, and Red House Painters. It was for paid subscribers only, but here's a link to the video if you're interested.
