Against All Odds: Soul Asylum Edition

Three Days Out -- It's the sound of a band back from the brink.

The two songs posted on Soul Asylum's MySpace page are great, but they reek of survival, in a good way.

I guess that's what happens when one of your founding members dies of cancer after he lays down his tracks for your first album in eight years.

And everyone counts your band out, even though you've been going strong for 25 years, and could still beat the pants off any new "it" band.

And you're the one of the best Minnesota bands of all time, but all most people can talk about is Runaway Train and Winona Ryder.

If they have to play clubs instead of stadiums, they will. They already made their money, played Bubba's presidential inaugural ball and dated starlets.

Nothing can stop this band, and that is awesome beyond words.

Today: icing my leg
Tommorow: short walk
