Baby Astronauts- Strawberry Enema



Almost daily I receive PR promotions and requests for review albums from bands and PR people from labels. The odd time I'll listen, sometimes, but rarely if I think it's of interest to anyone reading this blog, I'll post something about it. Once in a while I'll get requests to repost something where the links are dead or requests of a random album or show. To prove I actually read my emails and comments, I'll try to fill those requests eventually (FYI: better chance I'll read the emails)

I had a request to post the cassette only release of Strawberry Enema from the Baby Astronauts. I hadn't posted this previously, but I mentioned I downloaded it (I do not own the tape) on an old post from 2011 when I posted the Baby Astronauts album, All The Pancakes You Can Eat. I kid you not, I was browsing Discogs yesterday for a vinyl copy of the album. I honestly can't remember what site I downloaded Strawberry from or if it's still up online, but I'm sure it's way out of print. It's a gem, if you enjoyed Pancakes, you'll love this. It's raw and I wish music was this good more often. One note, the rip is a mp3, it's compressed, but probably doesn't affect the sound quality that much anyways.
Enjoy!!

    What a wonderful way to start a New Year in distant Helvetia !

    Twin cities bands in the 80's are amongst my favorites all time : Baby Astronauts, Hüsker Dü, the Mats to name a few. All The Pancakes is a classic now.

    Thank You very much for that nice K set !

    Sweet! I used to get promos for review from a magazine called Option back in the day. I was so struck by All the Pancakes and the cover idea, I corresponded with them for a while. It must have been when t I picked this up along with another, rougher cassette. The Astros are one of those bands I've returned to again and again over the years, each time wondering why I haven't played them in so long. A small catalog I s'poze. Great to have this in digital form, much appreciated.
