Part one can be seen HERE.

An Oklahoma City band with a southern California sound singing about Chicago. That about sums up this new video from the Uglysuit.

If you want the MP3, I posted it on Switchblade HERE last June.

From The Uglysuit; out now.

Little Joy is a band with massive buzz lately. It probably helps the band was started by Fabrizio Moretti, drummer for the Strokes. Even better for that buzz is putting out a good debut record last week via Rough Trade.

New video from Broken Social Scene’s Brendan Canning. Directed by George Vale. The perfect kind of music to keep you going on a cold, bitter day like today in Minnesota.

From Something For All of Us; out now.

Minneapolis alt-country darlings Romantica have a new video for “The National Side.” Shot in Nashville by Ryan Newman.

From 2007’s America.

(Thanks to City Pages for the heads up.)

Well said sir.

I still don’t understand how people can be against gay marriage. It just boggles my mind.

This past summer some of you may remember that Switchblade Comb were guests on local TV talk show Drinking with Ian. I can’t speak for RichmanVA or The Joe, but I was super nervous to watch this episode. Props to Ian for making us NOT look like drunken asses.

Off of Midnight Boom, out now.

A simple but awesome track off the recently released Thirteens LP that just may end up being one of my favorite singles of the year. If you download the album from iTunes you get this bonus duet with Ryan Adams.

STREAM: Leona Naess - “Leave Your Boyfriend Behind” (Feat. Ryan Adams)

Shot in the corn and wheat fields outside of St. Cloud, MN by Nizbit Films. You might not realize it from this mildly offensive video, but Thom Vanhorton is one of the few people left in my hometown that isn’t completely fucked up these days.

Amazing.

Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. UP takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures. When seeking adventure next summer—look UP.

Release Date: May 29
