Tooting My Own Horn

Go Johnny Go

I’ve been in the record biz since the early 1980s. A Canadian label just released an overview of my work from 30 years ago. I’m very proud of this. It’s a nice snapshot of my friend’s music back in the day. A worthy representation of the rise of Indie Rock in Minneapolis at the time, although tracks from all over the world are included too for extra flavor. Thanks so much to Dub Ditch Picnic Records! $10.91 plus shipping

North of No South was a label documenting Smart Pop Rock coming from Sweden at the time. We have unearthed the American warehouse of inventory. If you like Komeda, you’ll love the others!
