HUSKER DU
Flip Your Wig
Year Unknown U.S. reissue

Sending Flip Your Wig out to @donutage , because it’s HIS fault that I’m now plowing through the Husker discography.

FYW was the LAST record they made for SST before they signed to Warner Bros., and it’s got one of my favorite Husker songs on it in “Makes No Sense At All”, which was also their very first video, and the first song of theirs to garner significant rock radio airplay.

The ALBUM on whole leans the heaviest towards pop songwriting they ever had at that point.
Bob Mould is also on the record in saying that HE thinks it’s the bands best record.
There’s only one thing that keeps me from agreeing with him.
Grant Hart’s horrible, awful, and reprehensible “The Baby Song”. Take that atrocity OFF Flip Your Wig, and it’s absolutely flawless.
