I can remember my first times hearing Husker Du. My friend Matt popped Zen Arcade into the casette deck and I was assualted! Oddy enough, I found myself starting to like it. Go figure?
I remember loving this song when I first got the record. Then I saw the video on 120 minutes and honestly, it kinda ruined it for me. I really hate this video.
For my money, Husker Du's "Something I Learned Today" is it.
I'm a veteran network news producer and manager, a regular contributor to the Huffington Post, and a writer who's been featured in the New York Observer and the Village Voice. I'm also the author of a book called Dead Star Twilight, as well as a new media consultant. To find out more about me and/or hire me, go here. You can contact me at: deusexmalcontent@gmail.com.
Follow the link to purchase my full-length memoir, Dead Star Twilight.
"As a blogger, Chez Pazienza is filled with outrage, passion and insight -- delivered with a distinctive point of view, a wicked sense of humor, and a two-fisted style of prose. In Dead Star Twilight, he turns all these on himself -- and produces a fierce, funny, disturbing, but ultimately uplifting memoir. This is the book A Million Little Pieces dreamed of being."
NICE THINGS SAID ABOUT ME AND THIS SITE BY PEOPLE WHO'VE ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING IN LIFE:
"Interesting, unique... generally unassailable points."
-- Chuck Klosterman, best-selling author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and Eating the Dinosaur
"That mad bent towards suicidal honesty that all my favorite people share."
-- David Baerwald, Golden Globe-nominated singer-songwriter
"Cuts through media bullshit like a hot knife through bullshit."
-- Drew Curtis, founder of Fark.com
"Pazienza could be accused of many things... but he could never be faulted for dumbing us down. His glued-shut prose and bawdy metaphors provide a deeply appreciated, and hilarious, literary diversion."
-- Gelf Magazine, "Insolence Is Bliss," June, 2008

the best part about life here in DC is that he. lives. HERE! one friend of mine actually fantasizes about bumping into him on the street.
(this would not be me, of course.)
(just lurking! politely.)
You have probably already got it, but if not then pick up his new record District Line. It is less Modulate and more Last Dog And Pony Show era Mould.
