“TO WHOM LIFE IS AN EXPERIENCE TO BE CARRIED AS FAR AS POSSIBLE...
I have not meant to express my thought but to help you clarify what you yourself think...
You are not any more different from me than your right leg is from your left, but what joins us is THE SLEEP OF REASON—WHICH PRODUCES MONSTERS.

  - Theory of Religion Georges Bataille

Basuketto is the new improvisational project founded by Mark McGee a.k.a Makr (Father You See Queen, Votel, Marijuana Deathsquads, To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie) and Ben Clark (Votel, Cecil Otter, Doomtree, LaLibertie). After curating a successful extended residency at Nick and Eddie, Makr will be fronting this new improvisational project that will continue to collect some of the Twin Cities’ most talented musicians across genres and place them in an arena for spontaneous collaboration. In contrast to previous residencies, for this project, participants will be exploring constraints in time, tempo, and arrangement to create more concise and directed improvisations with predetermined endpoints. Some of the guests that will be contributing include Adam Marx, JT Bates, Joey Van Phillips, Maggie Morrison, Jared Isabella, Evan Ishmael, Drew Christopherson, and Holly Newsom to name a few.

Icehouse MPLS is having a soft opening stop kick off their new Monday night Jazz series. From the man himself, Mr. JT Bates...

"Alright dear friends. Tonight Adam Linz, Dave Karr and I will christen the Icehouse MPLS stage! It's slightly different tonight as it is the soft opening. We will play a little after 10pm, please, if you're not invited to the opening, do not arrive until 10 or a little after. we will also play a later set at 11:30. ((normally it will be 9:30 & 11:30 sets)) Played some music in there last night, and it sounds amazing!! I am so very grateful for this opportunity to begin again. please come down and celebrate with us. Also tonight only, NO COVER!!!!!! please share this all over the damn place. Thanks."

Downtown Minneapolis With Eric Funn Part II

Last July I recorded an hour and 45 minute set and we met up again today in front of the IDS Center. No tracks available at the moment because it just happened 2 hours ago and I'm charging batteries to record another show at The Triple Rock tonight. I highly recommend getting to know Eric Funn and his extensive catalog of songs. He is downtown on Nicollet Mall many evenings. Tell 'em Empty sent ya.

Beautiful day for busking downtown Minneapolis.

This lady had the sickest tap shoes/skills I've seen around town in a minute. Can't wait to play back the tape.

Eric and I stopped at The Lotus for a round of pho and fresh vegetable spring rolls. Sorry but I don't call it Lotus To Go Go. It is one of my favorite restaurants in town though.

Listen to a track from this set today on Radio K's Off the Record 3pm-5pm!

Kill the Runt recently played 2 reunion shows, one being at Perish on 5/17 with Diva 93 and the other being this "final show" on Saturday the 19th. Dead Actress and Fortified Three (3/5s of Fortified Five) opened this graduation/birthday party/show. I recorded Sleeping in the Aviary at First Avenue earlier in the evening but was glad I was able to haul ass on public transit in time to record this Kill the Runt set. Jesse M. did some "post-production" editing to the original .wav file.

Long live The Tower of Positivity and the fine people who live there. Thanks also to Kill the Runt for allowing me to share this with you. Photos by Sharyn Morrow from the show.
