THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR SUMMER


Alright alright. I know it's been half an eternity since I've last posted anything of substance/interest/style here. But here comes an ultra-deluxe-super-fantastic-blow-your-mind-leave-you-in-a-state-of-shock post to kick off the "summer" (if you're in MN, you know that it feels nothing like summer outside right now).

Let's kick this off with a sweet event:

MFI Presents....Calamity! Wow! What a name! It even has an exclamation point in the name to let you know it's exciting! Some of my very good friends are having some very tall and skinny models strut their clothes down a runway at the Lab Theater on May 20, and it's going to be something you will kick yourself if you miss. Literally, you'll find a way to kick yourself. Maybe butt-kicks, or you could kick the back of your calves...or if you're flexible maybe you could even kick your head. Tickets are $12 if you buy now, or $15 if you buy them at the door. You should probably buy them now though, because I don't think you want to be in a situation where you're going to be forced to kick yourself.
If you're a PYT, you're going to want to hop on the VIP tickets ASAP. Acronyms!
OH GUESS WHAT ELSE!
Afterparty at Clubhouse Jaeger! How awesome is that! (Notice all these exclamation points!)
Don't start this summer with a missed opportunity.

Next stop, music!

Local
Zoo Animal. Make sure to listen to My Lord. And all the other songs. And you should also probably go to a show or 6 of theirs, because that girl can wiggle her feet like you've never seen...and still not fall over. It's amazing!

Peter Wolf Crier. Perfect for The Current and perfect for you. (Side note: can everyone just become an MPR member so that we don't have to listen to the member drives during finals anymore?) Back to PWC. Crutch and Cane is real good, but so is You're So High, don't limit yourself to what's on their myspace. Also, they look like they should be my teachers. I would be OK with that.

Gayngs. WOW. Was someone like "Ok. I have an idea. Let's get everyone who's awesome at music from Minneapolis (minus Prince) and make a gigantic supergroup that will just own everything else!" (Yes)

Everywhere Else
Ok there's no way I can catch up on absolutely all the fantastic music I've found/listened to/experienced/tasted/what? since the last time I had a comprehensive music blog post, and I doubt I could even do the past month of music justice, so here are some highlights. Not necessarily THE highlights. Just some. Also, not in any order. And minimal to no description. Deal.

Um let me just add that if you want to keep up on my music, just check out my last.fm profile. It makes stalking me a lot easier. You'll know what kind of mood I'm in, how late/early I'm awake (because I always listen to music when conscious), and most importantly- how hip my tastes are.

Caribou Look at Odessa, will you?
Beach House (Two words, two links)
Sleigh Bells Check out those pants!


Losing steam here...but here are some places you should look if you're looking to look good.
Also, I will be practicing my mind reading skills.
You are thinking:






Dig it.
