Clubbing in Minneapolis →
Wow, reading this makes me realize just how little I know about the local dance scene. I’ve been to a couple dubstep events in the past few years, but that’s about it since my HS days of Sunday Night Danceteria at First Ave and a few raves during college at a barn in Duluth.

Way too much going on this weekend
May Day Parade: May Day Parade isn’t my favorite Powderhorn area festival (Empty Bowls and Art Sled Rally are), but it’s still a lot of fun MSP Home Tour: One of my favorite events of the year. I just love seeing what people do to their city homes.  Craftstravaganza: With Dean’s first birthday coming up, this would be a good place to buy his gift. Oh, and we have to visit our...

Peace Coffee Tumblr →
peacecoffee: Some of you may have seen the comic illustrations we’ve been running each week in the Twin Cities publication of the Onion Newspaper to promote the Peace Coffee Shop. They are hand-illustrated by Kristine Hargreaves, the almost mother in-law of our former barista extraordinaire, Adam… Peace Coffee is on Tumblr! (via bigboxcar)

A Haiku for Richfield Road
streetstoriesmpls: You lakeside liar Named for a first ring suburb But where is the Hub?* *For those not in the know, The Hub is a large strip mall in Richfield. My mother and I would often go there to buy $10 watches and video games at FuncoLand.  Most of South Minneapolis used to be Richfield before the big city stepped in and stole it all from the hardworking farmers of my hometown...

My brother was on the TV last night! As was his neighbor JD from the Strip Club. Sad story about a 18 year old girl that hit a 3 yr old with her car, and then took off.

“Rdio is the Netflix of Music” →
sabbatical: Looks like I got quoted by the prolific writer and podcaster Mike Vardy! For the record, I completely agree with his caveat about Rdio actually having a better and larger collection of content than Netflix does (at least in Canada.) I don’t even have a Netflix account at this point, while my Rdio subscription is perhaps the best $10 I spend each month. I’ve been meaning to...

RIP →
thomaslowrysghost: We are very sad to announce the death of our beloved friend and bandmate, Gerard Smith, following a courageous fight against lung cancer. Gerard passed away the morning of April 20th, 2011. We will miss him terribly. So sad. Selfishly I’m bummed because I had won free tickets to the TV on the Radio show on Saturday, but bigger picture and all, they are all in my...

What are everyone's guesses for the Rock the...
I believe Mumford is playing in Colorado the day of RtG so they are out. Also, Doomtree members can’t play it because of a proximity clause with Soundset. Can’t imagine Cloud Cult would play it again. My guess? DMB, Phish, Hootie, and Brother Ali Honestly though, if what I’ve heard is true, the lineup will make me very happy.

Dessa and Lazerbeak talk about the non-music side... →
Dessa: We do what excites us, all of it under the Doomtree banner. More than anything, Doomtree as an LLC is instrument, not an end in itself. We make art and developed a business to support it—not the other way around. We don’t have name cards or annual reviews, but we do have areas of expertise that we’ve honed in our years working together. Very cool interview, great to...

am-neubs: “Uptown… you are a neon wasteland limping in stilettos.” — - Dessa (via leahxrobot) Rolling my eyes … it’s become SUPER COOL to hate on Uptown.  Sure, it does suck in lots of ways, but it’s not a giant fucking Olive Garden.  Get over it, hipsters and hipster-haters. Amen. Tho it’s been super cool to hate on Uptown for about 20 years. It is what it is.

Pour Decisions Brewery
When I read who was involved with Pour Decisions Brewery, I knew I had heard that name before - Kristen England. Then I remembered a conversation (link probably won’t work for most of you, sorry) a few of us had on Google Buzz, most notably this… removed content Well, a year later, it looks like he finally decided to go for it. Good for him, although there has been a lot of talk...
