Har Mar Superstar | “DUI” Music Video
I just discovered this Har Mar Superstar video for “DUI”. Needless to say, it is classic, as only Har Mar can make something classic.

Eminem | “We Made You” Single
I’ve always had a thing for Eminem. I suppose I just find him to be refreshing. He doesn’t push boundaries, but he operates on the fringes of pop-rap. His new single, We Made You, is more of the ear candy that we have come to expect from Eminem, blending his usual fast-paced raps with catchier-than-hell pop hooks. At the end of the day, he is artistically no better than 50 Cent, but he sure is more entertaining.

Interview with Jenny Dalton
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 30:53 — 42.4MB)
Today, I had the sincere pleasure of interviewing one of the Twin Cities’ most popular and hardest-working musicians, Jenny Dalton. I first met Jenny 6 years ago, when we were both getting our start at open mics in Minneapolis. Since that time, Jenny has really made a name for herself locally as well as in niches around the globe, thanks to the power of the Internet.

In the interview, Jenny talks about why has taken a podcasting hiatus, how she has created a community of fans, as well as why she does what she does. Jenny is a fascinating interview and, as her fans will tell you, has an enchanting aura about her that is difficult to escape. Enjoy!

The Decemberists | “The Hazards of Love”
So roughly two months after “The Rake’s Song” hit local airwaves, the album on which that ditty is apart of arrived 10 days ago. I have been listening intently to The Hazards of Love ever since, contemplating the phenomenon that is The Decemberists. As a fan of literature and historic themes, I must say how fond I am of a band that can devote itself completely to myths, stories, and the inner thoughts of fictional characters. In the world of indie rock that is so rife with navel-gazing lyrics, this is a breath of fresh air — something that happens far too seldom in my opinion. Each album of the Portland band (named after an obscure historical event itself) is a piece of period theater, communicating both on narrative and thematic levels with every aspect of the music. People, behold: the use of harpsichord! This is the orgasm of the imagination, and we should be so lucky to hear it in our lifetimes…

Even though their next tour does not include a date in the Twin Cities (the closest city being Milwaukee), they will be one of the headliners at Rock the Garden, a one day smorgasbord of indie music on Saturday, June 20 hosted by the Current.
