READ THIS HERE! GIVEAWAY! : COME ON, PEOPLE! NO ONE HAS ENTERED FOR THE FREE PAIR OF GASLIGHT ANTHEM TICKETS ON AUGUST 8TH AT THE DOUBLE DOOR! CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO AND TO ENTER!

SORRY: No update yesterday. My apologies. I had limited internet access. Womp Womp.

CURRENTLY: One of the nice little thing about Minneapolis is driving between the Twin Cities and the outlying burbs is listening to 89.3 The Current. It’s one of the best radio stations, period. Anyways, Craig Finn just took part in a little series they do on occasion (MSP-ians, help me out if I’m wrong) called Theft of the Dial, where guests DJ for a bit. Check it out. It’s a good listen. Plus, Mary Lucia!

WHA HAPPENED?: Please put this band out of their misery. I stood by this band for SO MANY BAD ALBUMS. You needed Matt Sharp, always. Always always always!

PURIFY YOURSELF: Happy Birthday, Purple Rain. Kurt Loder reminisces. It’s a nice, quick read.

WARM, FUZZY FEELING: Finally, someone casts Robin Williams in the right type of flick. Check out the trailer to “World’s Greatest Dad”, directed by Bobcat Goldthwait (!). Looks awesome.

NOPE: On the way back from the city this morning, and a few month removed from it, I attempted another spin of Saturdays=Youth by M83. I got about three songs in and had to shut it off. I guess I don’t hear what the rest of you do in their tunes. That said, their Pitchfork set looked fun enough from a distance, though.

RANDOM: Do you ever catch anyone’s tweets and think that maybe they meant to send them as text messages? (Those who use smartphone apps, you’re disqualified.)
