"Keep your riches, gimme a Budweiser!"



To my infinite delight, I discovered this morning that my girlfriend's record collection includes "Trackin' up the North." The album was put together by KQDS radio in 1982 in collaboration with Grandma's Saloon & Deli. It features a rare Replacements song, "Lookin' for Ya," as well as a track by Chameleon, a band that included none other than Yanni.

The bands on the album all participated in the "KQDS Miller High Life Rock to Riches Talent Search Contest," which is why the Replacements track ends with a defiant screaming of the title of this post.
