Making Music w/ Andrew Broder

I'm sure Ryan and Josh remember James (JG) Everest as the guy who booked shows and DJ's at the Dinkytowner ten years ago. For the last several years he's been doing these Making Music interviews at the U of M, and he gets some big names to show up, but in this clip it's local boy Andrew Broder of Fog, and he's demonstrating how he approached using the turntable and records as an instrument. I think it's great what he did with that old Japanese flute record.

GBV>SEA>MSP

Guided By Voices got the band back together and are hitting the road. I'm going out to Seattle for the October 9 show to see them. I know they're going to be in Minneapolis the next week, playing at First Ave, so if anyone is a fan, just a heads up.

Jordache Jacket

I found this jacket at a Goodwill, and took it to a wedding in Minneapolis a couple weeks ago. The jacket looks nice and all, but the real seller was that Jordache tag on the inside. I've been wondering if I can take it to a tailor just to have that tag enlarged.

Inside we're all the same

This was playing on the TV at the hotel I stayed at in Stillwater last weekend. This poor donkey gets thrown down a well, and then sings a song that sounds a lot like something the Eurythmics would come up with.
