Wilco @ Northrop



Click To Play

Last Wednesday, Wilco ripped the City of Minneapolis a new one at the U of M Northop Auditorium. Contrary to lead singer Jeff Tweedy's position on mellow music, this crude mpeg video captures some of the show's mid-tempo arrangements easy to sing-a-long to. The show was superb, however, the crowd and venue paled in comparison to their Duluth show this past September. Video will never serve this band justice. BTW, Nels Cline was an absolute madman on lead guitar.

An accidental occurrence of images. Often, the things I enjoy the most come out of nowhere from completely random happenings. Music by Tortoise.

Guru


Last Thursday, we had the chance to see legendary hip hop emcee Guru (Gifts Unlimited, Rhymes Universal) at First Avenue in Minneapolis. He was there pushing the hell out of his latest Jazzmatazz record. Don't get me wrong, his rhymes are dope, but the show was more of a commercial for his producer than an artistic expression of self. At least he spit a rhyme for me after the show, that was nice of him. Thanks to KVSC for the tix.
