Har Mar Superstar (Kill Rock Stars)

I'm not sure anyone outside of town will think this is as cool and funny as someone who actually lives in Minneapolis. Har Mar Superstar (named after the tiny, dorky Har Mar Mall in Roseville, MN) is made up of one schlumpy white guy whose main music projects are happy punky pop songs about love'n'stuff. This, his strangely most successful project, is a rap and hiphop-style album with songs about all the women who are in love with Har Mar, his acute fashion sense (he dresses a lot like Mork) and how people in the Midwest should stop fighting one another and concentrate on spreading love instead, basically taking the theme of gangland territory music and making it applicable to farmers and machine workers. It's really funny to us, but people outside of town might not get the joke.
