And We're Back...

It has been a while here, so many records so little time. I spent most of that time moving records to a new place. While moving is not my favorite activity, I do appreciate the opportunity for new surroundings and responsibilities. I'm up for any ideas or pictures on how to store my records. Here's what I got going on now:



I'd like something prettier. Here's a couple of old playlists:

That puppy was spendy, but it's what I wanted the most on vinyl. Shelley got the only Flamings Lips album, but my friend Mike maybe bought 2 at the Fetus...enh? No Hold Steady, guess we'll just have to wait a few more weeks. I'll be spinning these on the show this week!

Making my first trek to Target field tomorrow and couldn't be more excited for a day off with friends and to check out the hottest team in baseball!

Oh saw DEVO was added to the list of Zoo shows this summer, with some limited VIP meet and greet tickets at a cool $101. Start saving your pennies kids, all zoo tix go on sale April 30. And don't forget Deadbolt on the 28th at Station 4.

And now for a special announcement.

Activity on the blog is pretty sparse. So, I would like to give away this record:


Occasional Co-Host Benjamin J. Findley is holding in his hand a copy of A Wilhelm Scream's "Mute Print". This album was recently pressed and released by Suburban Home Records/Vinyl Collective's Vinyl Cooperative. The Coop was started with the idea of bringing together share holders' money to combine efforts to put out great albums that have never been released on vinyl. This is the Co-op's 3rd release. 333 pressed on black and 667 on Mustard Yellow. This baby's black. How do I win this album?, you may ask? Be the first to post on the blog and I'll send it to you. simple as that!

Technical Difficulties...

I returned home from the Manchester Orchestra concert last night just in time to hear the show. Sounded like I was doing battle with Bob Parlocha again, no doubt a result of the recent switch from CST to CDT. My favorite part is when we talk at the same time.

MO was great! I had not heard much of them and was pleasantly surprised to hear the sounds of a full fledged indie rock band. I could have gone without the sea of Blackberry and iPhone screens...kids these days. Also, opening act The Features was a treat to watch as well. Tough staff at the Varsity, within a few minutes of the house lights coming on, my friends and I were asked to leave as we chatted finishing our beers...

Next up, Hackensaw Boys at the Cabooze and Deadbolt at Station 4.

If you made it through the argument between me and Bob, here's what you heard:

Spring is Here

Had a great time in St. Paul yesterday at the Happy Gnome's 3rd annual Firkin Fest. What's a Firkin? It's a cask conditioned ale that has fresh yeast added to it in the secondary fermentation stage usually dry hopped with a little something special. Firkins are a great way for the breweries and brewers to try new things and show off some of their favorite recipes. I give first prize to Great Divide's Oak Aged Yeti, just yum.

Heading back to Minneapolis to see Manchester Orchestra this evening, wishing I was at 7th Street for Tapes 'N Tapes, glad I'm not at Roy Wilkins for Alice in Chains. Here's last week's playlist. I've also got a link to a kick-ass Drive-By Truckers show from 2002 at Pine Hill Farm courtesy of ninebullets.net Be sure to check out their great SXSW coverage.
