RUN WESTY RUN
Green Cat Island
1990 U.S. pressing
When I was a kid, and first discovered all that great Minneapolis TWIN/TONE stuff like The Replacements and Soul Asylum, it got to the point where if I saw a tape or CD on Twin/Tone, I’d buy it no questions asked.
That’s how I discovered Run Westy Run.
Turned out that Green Cat Island was the only RWR album on Twin/Tone, and although I do like the two previous ones that were on SST, this one was (and still is) my favorite.
They never got anywhere near the attention or acclaim as those other Minneapolis bands, but they had a great run, and THIS is their best album for me.
Rock, country, punk, folk… they could do it all. And Green Cat Island is the best representation of that.

for how many retro BBSs are out there now, maybe two of them are Citadel?
doing my part, and attempting to resurrect Citadel-86, widely used in its hometown of the Minneapolis 612 and beyond, and root of many later Citadel forks
does anyone out there remember these?
tell me your stories because they are rapidly being lost to internet decay
did you notice bbsmates is gone?
Citadel-86 is now borderline lost media, the last version is MIA along with some extra tools for database resize and the Ease config tool
does anyone have them? check those dusty floppies

Listening to #NPR while I do some indoor work (raining today).
Sounds like the US is headed to municipal elections everywhere shortly. Two interesting points:
#Mamdani is poised to win the NYC mayorship. (Yay!) and…
#Minneapolis is using #RankedBallot voting. Glad to see that (slowly) moving forward! Maybe some other US cities too?
My strong belief is that ranked ballot is perhaps the only thing that'll save democracy from creeping authoritarianism and associated electoral manipulation.

The kids have chalked in a scaled series of distances in the Solar System on the sidewalk around Sanford Middle School in south Minneapolis.
Pepper wonders how many astronomical units away is the next trove of neighbor-supplied dog treats.

After yesterday's mass shooting at a church in Minneapolis, this cartoon by Bill Bramhall from a few years ago is once again making the rounds on social media.
"A rifle, a shotgun and a pistol had been lawfully bought by the shooter recently, O’Hara said, adding it was believed they acted alone."
~ Guardian
"Trump tanking the economy, going full socialist dictator, & unleashing the National Guard is perfectly fine - ditto mass shootings & gun violence. MAGA only cares whether the shooter is transgender."
~ Wajahat Ali
