Car crashes into First Avenue 10/19/07

So I just got back from First Avenue... Holy shit, a fucking car crashed into the side of the building last night! Here's what I heard happened: Car and limo collide. Car goes into side of First Ave and hits a couple of people standing outside.

I saw one woman walk away (in shock) ok. One other guy was more seriously injured. I think he had a broken leg... First Avenue had hardly any damage. I still can't believe ~ 14 police cars showed up. I thought another bridge went down ;)

And yeah, I did watch Stars of Track and Field tonight. I also managed to get some photos of Drive By Truckers. They were actually really entertaining... Crazy night. More to come.

Birdmonster live tonight / Jamie T / MSP Concert Announcement / Culture Bully Interview / Alex Gaudino

(Birdmonster live @ 400 Bar 10/24/06)

Just a few quickies for you today:

> San Francisco's Birdmonster returns to the Twin Cities tonight @ Varsity Theater. To say these guys are fun live, would be a great understatement. I would know, as I wound up playing the drums on stage last time they were here @ 400 Bar. Don't miss 'em; Pulse and Brody agree. Local bands Belles of Skin City, Aneuretical, and Jayber Crow open the show.

Birdmonster will also appear in-studio on The Current today between 9:00AM - 11:00AM.

> Speaking of the Current... I heard this song on my drive home from work last night and can't get it out of my head. Jamie T rocks.

> MSP Concert Announcement:

• 06/13/07: Fountains of Wayne / The Broken West @ First Avenue.
• WTF Moz? Milwaukee, but no Twin Cities... You HAVE to be kidding me.

> Solace and I were interviewed as "local music experts" over on the great blog Culture Bully. Read it here. I think it turned out pretty well. I laughed very hard at the picture they used of me... The original photo is up on my MySpace.

> Last but not least. My awesome roomie once again told me "Dude, you gotta' post this!" OK, Brian:

Such a sweet video (in so many ways)... The tune is an anthem in Ibiza. I really need to go there soon.

I actually managed to get out a little bit last Saturday. Downtown Minneapolis was crazy; I had loads of fun. Check the photos for more evidence, the rest is censored ;)

I spotted this:



Who's going to the show with me?!

Good excuse to post a Benassi video, right? Right.
