though it seems contrary to the mayo's mission of wellness to allow the shout house to operate in the same building

piano man is good for your cholesterol

pfft

officially the stupidest thing done by public transit in this town ever, which is saying something

That's the case with the existing blue line already. I have always assumed money changed hands at some point between Metro Council and the all-powerful taxi lobby.

sorry about that guys

there's a female vocal ensemble from Boston that is in town performing at Macalaster today, I bet it was them

Wow, cool! I heard this and thought it was Ford plant demolition, since I live nearby.

Nothing to get excited about. It is just the sound of the wind whipping through empty downtown St.Paul streets after 5 p.m.

A cheap joke that never gets old.

didn't hear a thing. at least i don't think so? that's my neighborhood

it was you

it's... coming back to me now

so this pretty much makes me want to die:

"Local bands and local beer are a great match," McGuinn said. "We love that we can bring the two together. Through the downloads available at thecurrent.org and upcoming shows featuring these artists, we hope to continue to support our local music scene."

"We're the Current. We've supported Jeremy Messersmith since he handed Mary Lucia a CD in a paper bag nearly 9 years ago. Of course we love his new album Heart Murmurs."

^^top 5 Ilx post ever

funny how everyone subtly misremembers it

how the decay of living memory turned pac into a god

yeah i always remember it as "oh lord pac" which seems better than "oh lord 2pac", it's the play it again sam of ILX

who was this sucker that jose wanted lord 2pac to talk to?

btw lol @ "the play it again sam of ILX"

Rereading this thread and knowing that, at some point, I step all over jjj's toes vis-a-vis West St. Paul bashing.

ha if so i dont remember it

good to see that the Current has not changed at all 3.5 years after i last heard it, it really made me appreciate KEXP, which isn't exactly great but at least isn't 24/7 indie-folk mush and a couple Replacements songs.

No, now they play Macklemore.

isn't that taking away valuable Atmosphere time?

I'd have guessed Har Mar, but apparently he did fine last year.

No, now they play Macklemore.

no don't worry they play a wide variety of rap from Atmosphere to rappers signed to Atmosphere's label to dorks from Seattle that sound just like Atmosphere

i don't know or like that stuff much but comparing it to mmore seems really mean!

nah they are way better than macklemore, but he's like the most explicity post-atmosphere rapper to ever get big...his whole rhyme style, that's fucking slug basically

not surprised Fucking Slug didn't blow up on the national scene with that name

"Blowin' Up (remix)" - Slug (feat. Fucking Slug)

yeah i have no beef with atmosphere, it's just that the current didn't tend to acknowledge rap beyond them, Doomtree, and maybe a 20-year-old Digable Planets track every month or two.

how is it even possible in this day and age of anxious-progressive privilege-checking that they haven't been trying uh dewhiten their playlists a bit more vigorously, or have they
