MRP.org story on those super tall bikes we talk about seeing all over town. Oh, and the surprising posse that rides them.

sound unseen

I saw If I Should Fall from Grace: The Shane Macgowan Story and an earlier Sound Unseen Festival and absolutely loved it. I never would have had the opportunity if it weren’t for this great festival. Wow, look at all those movies about music. 6th year for Sound Unseen. . . what an institution.

Urban Lights

Good article about Saint Pauls’ Urban Lights record store and owner.

Ouch!

MNRollerGirls Bruise Gallery!

Season opener at the Roy Wilkins this Friday.

MMA

Here is the Minnesota Music Academy’s list of 2005 MMA award winners. Nice to see the Soviettes and Low getting some attention. No huge shockers on the list that I can see.

I would have given Dillenger 4 about half of the awards. . . especially the spoken word catagory.

Target 1

Everyone knows that the original Target store (Target 1) resided at the corner of Snelling and County B in Roseville, MN. But now, its gone. Only to be replaced by a Super Target (eventually)! Now, I’m not one for corporate cheerleading, but if you have to shop at a multinational, it should at least be local. Super Target 1 will be a good deal for me. I live near the Grain Belt Brewery so there’s no easy access to a Super Target. Rumor has it that it’s slated to open sometime in October.

Vikings Stadium

wha? “The Vikings will announce tomorrow an agreement to build a $675 million stadium and related development in Anoka County.”

And, a retractable roof.

Footloose

Don’t dance in public in Minneapolis. . . you could get arrested.

minnewiki

minn_todd — Sat, 17 Sep 2005 06:20:45 +0000

Minnesota Public Radios’ Minnewiki. This thing will explode. Basically, the incest filled Minneapolis Music Family Tree w/ every band and member entertwined via html links. My only criticism: oops, they stole it from Yahtzeen.

Happy Hour

Citysearch Twin Cities’ Best TC Happy Hour. My vote? Probably Psycho Suzi’s. But Stasius in Nordeast is a close second.
