6 Fat Dutchmen
RCA Victor LPM-1769 1958
Ooooom-pah! New Ulm's very own 6 Fat Dutchmen blazing up that Midwestern polka scene. Why heck, they played the Nebraska State Fair for 26 straight years, don't ya know. This album has some top-notch cover art by none other than the great Jack Davis.

"The Drum"
Slapp Happy
Virgin V 2014 1974
This album was originally recorded with Faust as a backing band, but was rejected by their German label. After moving to London, the material was recorded with studio musicians. And of course, I came to this song by way of the excellent interpretation by Bongwater.

"Admit It"
Slaves of New York
Virgin Movie Music 7 91229-1 1989
From a film that was very much of its time based on a collection of short stories by Tama Janowitz, oddly enough a Merchant and Ivory production. of the same title. At least it introduced me to Arto Lindsay.

The third studio album from these Vancouverian musicians. Space junk perhaps?
