Hicksy Gets Burned

Filed under: Imported

So tonight for whatever reason I had to listen to the single "Slack" by early Minneapolis punk heroes NNB. But I don't have that single, so I did some hunting around the Internet, but it's really pricey these days. So my wife says, "I think I have that single stuffed inside my copy of Big Hits of Mid-America, Volume 3. "Oh I doubt it, Missy," I scoffed, not actually using the word "Missy" out loud, "It's very rare and perhaps you have some other NNB single blah blah blah."

Well, she did have the single stuffed inside her copy of Big Hits..., and what's more I was unwittingly keeping it in the closet where our duplicate LPs are stored. As we used to say in high school, I got "totally skuzzed."
