Hope they come here…soon.
A bit more downtime for the last month, but with the likes of: Vampire Weekend, Passion Pit, The xx, The Avett Brothers, Yeasayer, Major Lazer, The Antlers, Spoon, and almost too many more to list, we will be at full steam in about a week. After some resolved video and camera issues, we will be back up and covering all the shows that come through Minneapolis. Enjoy a pretty new video for “Little Secrets” from Passion Pit, who will be here in April.
It’s been almost a month since the new year, but we have finally put together our list of favorites for 2009. It was an extremely difficult task to put together only ten albums and ten tracks. So many were left off, including: the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Neko Case, etc. Please feel free to comment!

Killer song, killer video, and wouldn’t expect anything less from them. You can check out the interview we did over the summer with them under the corresponding tab.
Missed the show due to outrageous ticket prices, but they are a super-group for a reason. Love this song, and the video.
