Talking Minnesotan – 02-05-10
Minneapolis Metblogs @ Friday 5 February 2010 at 12:54 pm

Image Uploaded on January 27, 2010 by Individual_romance There’s been plenty of talk in Minnesota this week. Most of it about bacon and eggs, some of it about beer, and occasionally someone has brought up the topic of the weather. Typically, we kill that person with kindness while secretly thinking thoughts of the Caribbean. Since it’s Superbowl ... Continue Reading

The Star / L’Etoile: don’t miss it!
Austin Metblogs @ Sunday 31 January 2010 at 9:30 am

This Chabrier operetta is seldom performed, for reasons difficult to understand. The weather was on the chilly side last night, but not a single seat was vacant after the intermission, quite unusual. I heard a man say, “I didn’t want to come to this, but it’s really, really funny!” and it is. The laughter began ... Continue Reading

Groovin’ to R-Stew in LA’s Hippest Enclave
Los Angeles Metblogs @ Wednesday 27 January 2010 at 1:21 pm

So, I’m in one of my favorite coffee haunts — Silverlake Coffee — doing some work and hanging out, as I often do. I’m a cheap bastard so I tend to get an iced tea (lots of caffeine, and among the least expensive drinks on the menu), do my work, and grab a dollar refill ... Continue Reading

Washington D.C. Metblogs @ Wednesday 27 January 2010 at 8:00 am

GZA!!! – Amazing Show at Sound Academy
Toronto Metblogs @ Tuesday 26 January 2010 at 11:47 pm

Despite a deep set of opening acts and the usual mild mannered Toronto crowd GZA, rocked the Sound Academy. Opening for GZA (and what a difficult task that must have been!!!) were The WILDcore, Skratch Bastid, and Shing Shing Regime. The WILDcore started the evening and were an interesting mix of live instruments, some DJing ... Continue Reading

Dave Matthews To Make Two DC Stops In 2010
Washington D.C. Metblogs @ Tuesday 26 January 2010 at 4:08 pm

I am a big DMB fan. Even though I’ve been to 30+ shows in my short life, I always try to catch the local stops the band makes and today the band released their summer tour dates, which includes a show at Nationals Park on July 23rd. This won’t be the first concert held at Nationals ... Continue Reading

Who Says Drum Machines Have No Soul?
Los Angeles Metblogs @ Tuesday 26 January 2010 at 4:00 pm

Until there’s a Robot Coachella, the best way to see virtuoso percussionists MahaDeviBot (pictured, left), Tammy (center) and GanaPatiBot (right) will be to attend tomorrow night’s Scream Festival at REDCAT, where the KarmetiK Machine Orchestra will be making their world premiere. The brainchild of Ajay Kapur, director of the Music Technology: Interaction, Intelligence & ... Continue Reading

Fist Fights at TC Hip-Hop Awards
Minneapolis Metblogs @ Sunday 24 January 2010 at 9:59 am

Chris Riemenschneider is reporting I can’t remember the last time I saw a fight break out at First Avenue or even at a hip-hop concert. In fact, the last bad fight I saw was out in the Home Run Porch at a Twins game. So it’s somewhat shocking to report that last night’s TC Hip-Hop ... Continue Reading

Dischordian + Gillian Grassi: UTV World Movies and Music @ Cafe Goa
Mumbai Metblogs @ Friday 22 January 2010 at 2:21 pm

I was at Café Goa this Wednesday (20th January) for the UTV World Movies & Music event organized by the Bombay Elektrik Projekt. As it was, the trek to Bandra is a formidable thought (and I stop short of saying ‘unrealistic’ since that’s what’s I call travelling to town). In typical Mumbaiker fashion, I aim ...

Win tix to Kool Keith or DJ Krush
Seattle Metblogs @ Friday 22 January 2010 at 11:03 am

Kool Keith isn’t just a performer; these days he’s become a hip hop legend. Like all legends, tales swirl around him: while it’s not true that he spent some time locked up at Bellevue (the famous psychiatric hospital in New York, not our surburban neighbor to the east), it is true that he’s produced ...

Minneapolis Metblogs @ Wednesday 20 January 2010 at 11:13 am

We are broke. (A song for the dumped)
Minneapolis Metblogs @ Thursday 14 January 2010 at 12:12 pm

Minnesota has ran out of money. I guess there’s no big suprise there as many states have ran out of money due to increased spending and lower amounts taken in by taxes due to the recession. (both sales taxes and payroll taxes are down) The Strib reports State may force schools to lend it $1B In a ... Continue Reading

All-girl jailhouse rock tonight at the Egyptian
Los Angeles Metblogs @ Wednesday 13 January 2010 at 3:08 pm

Sorry for the short notice, but this is still worth mentioning:  Tonight, the Egyptian Theatre will be hosting the West Coast premiere of Girls on the Wall, a new documentary that promises to be, well, pretty awesome – it follows three teenage girls in a juvenile detention center who are offered the opportunity to make ...
