Nona Marie & The Choir, Dreamland Faces and Mike & Nikki Gunther supported The Painted Saints on the eve of their release for the new album No Match for Greater Minds. The first snow of the year hit at a steady pace but those who made it out to the West Bank were treated to one of the best shows from start to finish this year. Certainly in my top 5 out of a 100 or so. Thanks to The Cedar for always being cool with people archiving shows there. It's greatly appreciated. Thanks to Nona Marie & The Choir for giving me permission to share this.

Nona & The Choir: Making grown men tear up at The Cedar Cultural Center since 2011.

The audience recording sounds really nice but I have zero time to "EQ" it right now. I wanted to post this sbd version before I leave town and hopefully post the full audience sometime when I get back.

I first caught up with Frank (Winchester, Englad) in October '09 at The Cabooze. I for one appreciate what he has to say so I'll keep recording his shows as long as he's cool with it. Come to think of it, he's been stopping through town once a year for a while now. The 2010 show supporting Social Distortion sold out First Avenue. I believe this was his first time headlining in Minneapolis and tickets sold out well in advance of the show. Andrew Jackson Jihad (Phoenix) and Into It. Over It. (Chicago) supported. I'll try to get those sets posted down the road but don't hold me to it. Please support Frank by picking up the official releases. Thanks as always to The Triple Rock and to Loopy.

So...I'm still recording live music but I've gotten extremely lazy about getting any of it online. Not every single set above will make it onto this site (permission, motivation, time etc.) but off the top of my head that's some of the recent stuff that's been added to the archive.

It's been a while since the last 3 night run but there are 3 shows coming up later this week that I'm really excited about. Maybe I'll drag myself out of the house to go see Hardcore Crayons and The Great Went at Cause later tonight.

11-17 - The Rope/Aaron & the Sea @ Hell's Kitchen
11-18 - The Book Of Right On, Bloodnstuff @ Triple Rock
11-19 - Painted Saints w/ Nona Marie and the Choir, Dreamland Faces & Mike Gunther @ The Cedar

O.A.E.O.P.

In South Minneapolis there's a gentleman who built a brick oven with his bare hands and has been kind enough to invite people into his backyard to enjoy pizza from said oven. O.A.E.O.P. Click on the pictures to expand them.

Sunday November 6th:


Pardon the dark phone pictures but the first pizza I tried was the outstanding Big Peppa (Chicken & Pork Sausage, Red & Green bell pepper, Red Onion, Mozzarella).


Knowing that this isn't going to be going on much longer I couldn't leave without trying another. I went with the Decidedly Dill (Olive Oil, S&P, Dill Ricotta, Mozzarella) and was not disappointed. Amazing!


The makings of the Sweet N' Sour (Squash sauce, Pear, Sauerkraut, Ricotta)?


Got to love a good bottle opener.


Now that's what I call a nice butcher's block.

The Appleseed Cast

As per my previous post PJ and I divided and conquered Friday night. He held down The Triple Rock to get a stellar capture of The Appleseed Cast while I was across town at N & E for MDS. Thanks PJ! Previous years are available as well; 2009 and 2010.

If you're not familiar with torrents or FLAC check out some of the links along the right hand side of this page under the venues list.

The Appleseed Cast Vs. Marijuana Deathsquads

I was pretty torn about tonight. I've recorded The Appleseed Cast the past two years in a row (2009 and 2010) at The Triple Rock but I also spent a good 6 months recording the Marijuana Deathsquads residency at Nick & Eddie last year. With things coming full circle at Nick & Eddie tonight for the Deathsquads LP release I was happy to hear that P.J. will be covering The Triple Rock!

Hymie's Record Road Show at The Turf Club!

I was asked to play records at Hymie's Record Road Show at The Turf Club tonight. Sounds like Dave and I will be switching off every hour or so. Stop on down if you're in the neighborhood! Swing by Hymie's Vintage Records for your vinyl needs.

Nate Nelson will also be there serving up some delicious food. He's spent the past year or so building quite the reputation for quality. The following info is straight from him...

This is best Pastrami and/or Reuben you will ever have most likely. People (I'm not naming names) have told me they like it EVEN BETTER THAN KATZ in NYC. I wouldn't argue with them.

Hymie's Dj'ing featuring John Empty starts around 9. 2 4 1 rails from 8-11. NO COVER.

The Menu:

Pastrami - smoked and steamed the day of serving.

Reuben - Corned Beef with kraut, swiss cheese and my own homemade 1,000 island

Vegan Sloppy Joe - Vegans/Vegetarians love this shit!

Coleslaw - Red cabbage and carrots in a creamy onion dressing.

Caraway Rye and Dark Russian Rye from Cecil's.
