Song Of the Day, January 15, 2006
This is an early stab at pop glory by Canadian Moe Berg, later of The Pursuit Of Happiness. This record makes Berg's arrival at gems like "She's So Young" with THOP seem inevitable; one of the B-side tunes, "It's Gone" is another good 'un, with less buzz, and more lilt. The Minds must have been on the bill at some pretty good shows; the oversized picture sleeve thanks the Pointed Sticks and The Rock 'n' Roll Bitches.

Moe sat in front of me at Sixteen Candles at the downtown Cineplex.
Thanks very much for posting this. I bought this record from Moe Berg after a Modern Mind's show at the University of Alberta in 1980 but lost it somewhere along the way. I've wanted to hear Theresa's World again for a long, long time.
great song,great band.i have the single,nah,nah,nah,nah,nah
Brilliant!. Thanks for posting this...
The Modern Minds were idolized by many indie/punk musicians in Edmonton at the time, and Moe's influence was huge on songwriters like Mike McDonald of Jr Gone Wild.
For a while there you could find a Cd reissue of the EP with SEVEN ADDITIONAL SONGS, if you can believe it, including two of Moe's best efforts, "Twenty Years Old" and "Girl Crazy."
