569 The Evolving Role of a Manager with Chris Nilsson President of 10th St Entertainment

Peter Jesperson is a music legend. Born in Minnesota, Jesperson was a seminal figure in the Minneapolis punk and new wave scene of the 1970's and 1980's. He co-founded Twin/Tone Records, worked at Oar Folkjokeopus record store and the Jay's Longhorn bar, and is credited with discovering the Replacements. He later served as the band's manager.

In "Lost in the Songs," producer Todd Melby interviews Jesperson about his love affair with music, his relationship with the Replacements and his addictions. Melby also talked with Chris Osgood of the Suicide Commandos and Tommy Stinson, bassist for the Replacements, about Jesperson.

In 1980, Melby slipped in the mosh pit at Jay's Longhorn while dancing to the Suburbs, a Twin/Tone Recording artist. His buddies waited hours before taking him to the emergency room to get his knee examined. He also remembers seeing the Replacements play live at various Minneapolis venues.

Breakmaster Cylinder composed two of the songs in this documentary. Their work can be found at BreakmasterCylinder.com. Other music was by The Replacements, Patti Smith, The Safaris and the Suicide Commandos.

Peter Jesperson’s book is titled “Euphoric Recall.” It was published by MNHS Press.

Audio mastered by Alex Simpson.
