A Note from Garrison:

Hi. How's it going? It's been a long time since I've written, I know. But what with the work and the summer and all, it's tough to find time to write.
Anyway, I'll just cut to the . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .

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, . . .

I woke up this morning, all bleary-eyed, and stood in the shower, trying to figure out what to wear today. I was lazy, and didn't do any laundry, so my options were limited; plus Wednesday is a day . . .

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 . . .

My good buddy "Archive" does some interesting stuff with music. Little fits and nodes of music in the margins of the soundscape. It's provocative stuff--the kind of music that you miss on . . .

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 . . .
