The Electric Fetus. You know what it is (Minneapolis’ supreme record shop) and if you’re any sort of half-functioning music lover you probably find it to be pretty kick-ass. It’s a place to peruse the musical stacks old and new, to enjoy in-store performances, to geek out about your favorite…

Much of the allure of Country Music comes from the fact that it is essentially the art of suffering. The plight of the Country singer is to turn a broken heart into a song; to reside at Rock Bottom so that we may not, or so we may know someone's…

Clear your Monday nights for the summer, kids. Despite last summer’s bummer announcement that the Walker Art Center’s “Music and Movies in Loring Park” was donezo, today MPR divulged that the Walker is back on board, thereby putting a happy end to the outrage of the fervent lovers of the…

Though she’s been cranking out hits since ’97, only recently has Swedish pop star Robyn been pushed out from the periphery of American attention and into the spotlight she emphatically deserves.

Twin Cities rap moguls Atmosphere announced that their seventh official studio album "The Family Sign," is slated for release on April 12th. It's fair to say Slug's raps have certainly gotten tired over the years but none of the duo's studio albums are ever completely devoid of moments of brilliance…

Stop the presses. Today the greatest rock band of our era announced the official end of their career. Though we haven't been privileged to any new material from the duo since 2007's "Icky Thump," I'd wager that Stripes worshippers such as myself have been clinging on to the shred of…

Arise! Books & Resources Collective in Uptown was forced to close on May 15th of last spring. The volunteer-run space that touted its compilation of, "works of resistance," has since refocused its efforts vis a vis the MARS Collective and Boneshaker Books.

Voltage is arguably the fashion event of the year. It merges our city's most innovative clothing and accessory designers with the guitar power of some hyped local rockstars in one night of runway glitz, MN fashion and noise! Really, what could be better? The MNfashion production will be held at…
