Dyslexic Heart Podcast #12

After a 16 month absence, Dyslexic Heart returns for an extra long ramblefest. We talk about a random hodgepodge of bullshit including our trip to London and our love of the Minneapolis music scene while talking over some really great songs. Welcome back and we’re sorry.

Goodbye Clarence Clemons

With the news that Clarence Clemons died today, I feel utter sadness, but I’m thankful I had the chance to see the Big Man perform eight times in the past 12 years. He was the heart and soul of the E Street Band, and I’m heartbroken that he’s gone.

Twins Fans, We Have Our Anthem

Since spring training, Minnesota Twins fans have been punished with the craptacular GB Leighton song “Twins Territory,” played during every Fox Sports Net game broadcast this season. The mute button on my TV remote control has never received so much attention.

Today, as our beloved team prepares for the playoffs, Twins fans finally have an anthem we can be proud of. The Baseball Project, a kick-ass “supergroup” featuring (the other) Steve Wynn, Peter Buck, Linda Pitmon and Scott McCaughey, have teamed up with The Hold Steady frontman and Minnesota Twins uberfan Craig Finn to record “Don’t Call Them Twinkies.”

Raise a toast to Kirby Puckett and enjoy.
