FRIDAY 6.06
HowWasTheShow.com 6th Anniversary
Turf Club
I have a pretty clear bias as far as HowWasTheShow.com is concerned—I spent two years feverishly penning live reviews for the site and worked as editor there before launching my own online music mag and eventually assuming my current position at City Pages. My time with HowWasTheShow.com was spent trying to go to more local shows than site...

Overwhelmed by Facebook Events
Specifically calling out to Twin Cities bands. Hey, maybe you could talk to each other say if 3 of you are on a bill and create a single Facebook event to forward to your friends? It’s not so hard to do. Thank you!

I guess now starts the hunt for the actual Oasis leaked song links before they get zapped. Wish me luck.
Elbow set list from Fine Line Music Cafe,...
Nearest I can figure it, here’s the set list from last night’s Elbow show at the Fine Line. Still unsure what the 4th song was, but will update when I determine it. It was either “An Imagined Affair” or “Great Expectations,” the latter being possibly more likely as it’s being played more frequently. Guy Garvey introduced it as being about a marriage that...

Though The 24 Bar closed at the end of February, 1994, it just turned up again on the Rank Strangers latest (vinyl only) release “tucke des objekts, die.” You can listen to the song on their MySpace and reminisce about “those are the days that are gone.” Curtains by Rank Strangers Everybody got anxiety Everybody got depression Everybody wants the new...

I don’t usually send links back into our own forum for single threads, but someone posted a full review of Kraftwerk’s 2008 North American Tour kickoff this morning and since the tour is kind of a big deal and this is one of the first reviews I’ve seen, I thought I’d share. With luck, we’ll have a review of their Milwaukee show tonight on our site within the next...

Guthrie gets "flashy" over Midsummer →
(Minneapolis/St. Paul) The Guthrie is pleased to announce the launch of a new micro-site to showcase its upcoming production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Designed by Twin Cities-based Gorton Studios, MyMidsummer.com uses Flash animation to capitalize on the fantastical fairy world created in Director Joe Dowling’s signature production, building off the show artwork created by SpotCo, the...

No Al, thank YOU
Acknowledgements are always awesome. Al Wirez has a bunch of them in his blog posting from yesterday (excerpted below), and I’m happy to be on the list. Additionally, since Al was so kind as to thank several folks for their help in putting the Faux Jean re-union together, I thought I’d be generous and pass along his thanks. No Al, thank YOU. The below extended quotation is from Al Wirez MySpace...
