This was Mara's birthday party. Voytek and Class of 86 started off the evening. MC/VL played a set and DJed in the old bar as well. This was one of the funnest nights in recent memory and I'm really happy with the way this Prairie Sons tape turned out. Do not sleep on their record when it comes out!

MC/VL @ The Old Bar

MC/VL
The Old Bar (The Triple Rock)
Minneapolis, MN
Sunday June 6th 2010

So Mara's birthday party featured MC/VL playing a set and spinning records in the old bar as well sets from Prairie Sons, Voytek and Class of 86 on the venue side. With the 414s set up in the other room I had to channel Lomax and MacGyver, a couple of long time heroes to get this recording made. Drew hooked me up with a rag that I folded up to cradle the Sony PCM-D50 as I pointed it to the speaker positioned above the door. The capabilities of the D50's internals are well known. This deck is extremely well made and the internals don't mess around. This was recorded at 24 bit 48 kHz. The dithering to 16 bit was done in Sound Forge Pro 10 and the 320kbps mp3 encoding was done using RazorLame.

MC/VL - "Live From The Old Bar"

Voytek - "Saturday Night Again" (Live at The Triple Rock)

Attracted to Gods CD Release

I had intended on documenting the Attracted to Gods CD Release at The Triple Rock Saturday the 29th. Batteries were charged & gear was ready to go but after back to back nights in the Entry I started feeling lazy after work. A back lot BBQ with the neighbors ensued and I unfortunately never made it out of Longfellow.

Never mind my procrastination! Attracted to Gods released their new album "Sinners and Saints" on Blue Worm Records. Prairie Sons, Truck Stops Across America and Phil Little opened.

ATG were taped August '08 @ The Triple Rock.
