We lost two Minneapolis icons in the last month, and this week’s episode is a tribute to both.
After suffering a sever stroke in 2012, Slim held on for well over a decade before passing away on December 18, 2024. Besides a couple of great tributes to the man by The Mad Ripple and The Walk Offs, this episode features music Slim created with Curtiss A, The Replacements, and as a solo artist. There’s also a couple of sets of cover tunes from the wonderful Songs For Slim tribute series, along with a surprising superstar cover that debuted on Sirius shortly after his death.
On January 5, 2025, former Suburbs singer/guitarist Beej Chaney accidentally died during a swim in the Pacific Ocean near Hermosa Beach, California. The last half hour of the broadcast features a sampling from all of the groundbreaking band’s releases on Twin/Tone and A&M Records.
Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the passing of these legends.
