Live Your Daydreams Out Loud
I was rooting through boxes of used CDs at my store this week and I stumbled across a $1.99 copy of Spool Forka Dish, the second album by quirky Minneapolis pop-rock group The Blue Up? which was produced by original Prince & the Revolution drummer Bobby Z. in 1995. Predominantly the brainchild of lead singer/guitarist Rachael, aligned with bassist Carolyn Rush and drummer Renee Bracchi, this cassette didn't leave my player for nearly a month back when I first received it in the mail that year, and once I got the CD a few months later I still couldn't bring myself to remove it, to part with those loopy grooves and Rachael's compellingly child-like voice. Joe booked them at Mango Tango's years ago but I was away at a family funeral, and I think he told me how he talked to them briefly about how they knew Prince, with Joe being a ginormous Prince fan and all.The Blue Up?

I loved these guys!!
REV 105 in the Twin Cities used to play "Breathe You Out" all the time. LOVE IT!!
Thanks for the reminder, Melp!
They are swell, aren't they? Still holds up, too. I think I managed to turn a girl on at work by getting her to buy the used copy we already had.
Good to hear from you, gal!
