December 27, 2006 11:51 AM EST -- My original intention on Boxing Day was to go celebrate Little Boxing Day in Little Canada (a suburb north of St. Paul). But as always, I live by the better offer club; meaning if there's a better . . . more
May 19, 2006 11:21 AM EDT -- It's a big live-music weekend, and I've been thinking. Where do you go for information on seeing live bands? Minnesota Public Radio has an events calendar that lists many shows--definitely a . . . more

June 19, 2006 02:56 PM EDT -- In facing the prospect of moving my desk in the coming weeks, I decided to clean up my desk at work. Now, I've worked here, in some capacity or another, for over 6 years, and I've accumulated a . . . more

July 05, 2006 05:17 PM EDT -- I went up to Duluth, MN this weekend to see Wilco as part of their Canadian(?) tour. It was a great show, and having seen Wilco several times prior to this, it wasn't full of too many surprises. What . . . more

August 01, 2006 06:14 PM EDT -- I guess I'm a little late finding out, but it appears that the Viking Bar, the legendary blues bar in Minneapolis' West Bank has gone out of business. I didn't get there as often as I probably . . . more
October 04, 2006 04:20 PM EDT -- Here at Minnesota Public Radio, the employees get a few fringe benefits of working at a major regional media organization. Sometimes we get to see famous people wandering throughout the building, but far . . . more
March 02, 2007 01:14 PM EST -- I don't know if anyone was listening when I said my mind is a frightening place. Not frightening in the scary way mind you, but frightening in that I tend to fixate on minutiae that  few seem . . . more

May 16, 2006 04:53 PM EDT -- I was at Big V's in St. Paul on Saturday to see Half Fiction, Fighter Hayabusa, Switchboard and Red Telephone Dispatch. It was a great show, and I think that's due in part to the new PA system . . . more
May 17, 2006 05:54 PM EDT -- In the description of this group, there is a mention of the Minnesota Music scene being occasionally appearing on the national map. It happened in the 1980s with the Husker Du, The Replacements, Soul Asylum, . . . more
May 25, 2006 10:34 AM EDT -- There are few things that I will not do for Rock n' Roll. It is in this spirit that on Sunday I trucked down to the Griggs Midway building in St. Paul to be an extra for a music video shoot featuring . . . more
June 23, 2006 04:22 PM EDT -- OK class. Put your notes away, it's time for you to expand your horizons, and maybe stretch your ears a little. A good friend pointed me to a project he's been working on called T H A W. And he . . . more

July 13, 2006 05:28 PM EDT -- I've spoken here a couple of times about buying local music. It has its pitfalls--the quizzical glance from the clerk, finding the tiny local section in the first place, lacking many places to find . . . more

September 18, 2006 06:45 PM EDT -- (with apologies to the band IfIhadaHiFi from Milwaukee. If it's any consolation, that is hands down the best palindrome ever.) My co-worker and friend, (who happens to be the biggest musichead I know) . . . more
June 01, 2006 04:43 PM EDT -- It's hardly worth noting that this coming weekend holds untold potential for fulfilling your lifelong dreams of seeing local music. But one show in particular caught my eye, and it's not just because . . . more
June 06, 2006 06:36 PM EDT -- Due to a prior obligation, I was unable to attend the full force of the Saturday night event last weekend. I was at a wedding, and as soon as the reception was "over enough" I headed home, got . . . more

August 07, 2006 06:24 PM EDT -- This weekend was a pretty busy one in terms of the local music... at least for me anyway. Friday night, I went down to the Terminal Bar to see Aqua City Motel. They are a new band, and they've got . . . more
January 29, 2007 06:01 PM EST -- I'll be the first to admit my local music bias--give me my St. Paul rock, and I'm generally contented. I was looking over the MPR Web site, though, and found this story about Michael Dregni, a . . . more

July 31, 2006 05:33 PM EDT -- I usually wake up with a song stuck in my head. It's pretty cool, because for the most part, it's a song that I love, and have listened to over and over again. I was explaining this to my friends . . . more
September 01, 2006 12:19 PM EDT -- When a band breaks up, it's rarely news. When a local band breaks up, it's almost never news. These things happen; it is part of the ebb and flow in the lives of artists. What's particularly . . . more
September 06, 2006 11:10 AM EDT -- Health care a big topic on everyone's mind, but probably none more accutely than those who don't have any insurance and face huge medical bills. I'm not here to tell the tale of musicians, . . . more
