Bought this when it came out in 1983, was a spotty 16 yr old youth working in a supermarket in Liverpool. None of my older colleagues knew who they were, which is how I liked it. Seen them in 86 at Liverpool Uni. Greg's head an inch away from the stage ceiling as he pogoed through a barnstorming set. Go on the Dü, forever in our thoughts.
Diane Edward, who was a friend of a band member, is who the song this was written for. Murdered at 19 years of age. The scum that killed her is unfortunately still drawing breath.
This was in my backyard. I grew up on the West Side of Saint Paul right next door to West St Paul. My uncles on both sides of my family knew Hart and Norton. Hart from South St Paul and Norton from West St Paul.
First time I heard this was the Coffin Break version, way back in them early 90's. I instantly loved it. Still a punk rock fave all day long. I didn't find out it was a cover until about ten years later. Sorry to admit, I was a late bloomer on the Husker Du. But, their original has became my favourite. Thanks for sharing!
To make room for the young. I'm not being spiteful- it is what it is. Th@'s why it's good to neither worry about the future; Nor be stuck in the past. We still have no absolute guarantee of something after this. So enjoy the here and now.

I remember hearing this on the hardcore show on wtul in 1986 along with a bunch of other post punk from the early 80s. I taped the show.

With an Eventide harmonizer straight into the board
muy buena canción
coffin break brought me here!
Burns like magnesium powder
Husker Du's Diane = inspiration for Nirvana's Polly? I'm sure others have noticed this before me right?
i thought the same
Hüsker Dü, Wipers, Sonic Youth
This a reissue or an original press?
Very nice. What cart you got there? Nagaoka?
I've come to this because of the cover of Therapy?
I personally much, much prefer the version by Therapy?
Somebody has to, I guess.
