This compact disc features a one hour mix of musical dedications to the two time-honored traditions of food and love. Both of these virtues are essential ingredients to a happy life and the two DJs pay splendid tribute to both of them. Read More

We filled the gallery with prints, sculpture, collages, photographs, and slide and video projections. With the inclusion of live music from Andrew Broder and Marijuana Deathsquads, the night was a full-on multimedia assault. Read More

a few moments of a life too short...
I just wanted to share a few of my favorite photos of Mikey "Eyedea" Larsen. Mike Davis wrote some pretty amazing words in the previous post. Please read them. Our hearts go out to the Larsen family and friends, Rhymesayers, and music fans everywhere. Eyedea's mother has set up a memorial fundraiser here. Read More

Eyedea
photo by Ben LaFond
Yesterday afternoon, we were crushed with the news of the sudden passing of Micheal Larsen, better known as rapper Eyedea. The news stung hard, not only as we lost a remarkably talented young man, but as we lost a friend and longtime member of our community.
I first met Mikey in 1998 when he and Abilities came to St. Louis to perform with Atmosphere and a few other Minneapolis acts at a festival near my apartment. Read More

EXTRA LARGE
This Friday, I'll be pulling back the curtains on my new monthly dance party at First Avenue's Record Room, home to Burlesque-approved dance nights of present day and yesteryear: Get Cryphy, Street Sounds, Honeymoon, and Let's Get Electric! Each second Friday, I'll be inviting a guest DJ to come spin with me. We'll be playing everything from hip hop to disco to dancehall to electro to Afro-funk to Miami Bass and all points inbetween.

Arcade Fire vs. St. Paul
Sometimes the first show of a new tour can be nerve-racking for both band & audience. Not this time. The crowd was buzzing with anticipation as the lights dimmed and Arcade Fire took the stage with force. So much action to take photos of! These are a few of my favorites I snapped over the night.

Aaron Horkey's Midwestern Heart
