So far this week it seems like a number of covers are surfacing (hopefully we aren't too behind on getting these gems to your ears) and wouldn't you know it, I have another one for you! This time we have a local favorite in Minneapolis ' own Cloud Cult with their performance of The Beatles ' "Help!". The arrangement is so much different than the original and that's what you have to love about covers, when a band can take a classic and make it their own. As for the bands own work, they are currently working [...]
A charity project organized by Vega Productions has a slew of artists covering classic Beatles tracks. You can buy the entire compilation, Minnesota Beatle Project Vol. 3, on their website . One of my favorite artists, Cloud Cult, covered the Beatles classic song Help. It's recognizable as the original, but it is also entirely a Cloud Cult concoction. Quite simply, it is a great cover. mp3 : Cloud Cult - Help (Beatles Cover) + more Cloud Cult @ twf hype elbows site [...]

The Sasquatch Music Festival has released their 2012 lineup, and as usual, it's a doozy....
I've been pretty absent from the online world for the past week or so. I was out in the real world, doing real world things and in the process put hundreds of miles on my car. The benefit of being stuck in my car for so long is listening to lots and lots of great music. While driving along Interstate 80 somewhere in the heart of Pennsylvania a few of my favorite songs came on. Ok, well, they "came on" because I hit the play button on my iPhone, but still, they came on at what seemed to be the [...]

"Unexplainable Stories" by Cloud Cult, from the bands' 2010 album "Light Chasers". Created by Jon Thompson from Bolster Creative .
Posting videos isn't something we normally do on MTIB; especially when those videos are for songs that are over a year old. However, there are a few factors that play into my posting this: 1. It's Cloud Cult. We love Cloud Cult. 2. The video is new, so it's like a whole new experience with the song. 3. The news that comes with the video is pretty freakin AWESOME. Before I get to that news though,
You can always expect something a little artistic from Cloud Cult , and the beautiful new video for "Unexplainable Stories" certainly fits the bill. It's animated space-age theme is sure to please. Check it out above.

The Minneapolis, MN music (and art - some of their members are actually "visual artists") collective going by the name of Cloud Cult have garnered quite a following with their often melodramatic-yet-poignant take on indie music. Their most recent release, last year's Light Chasers , was no different, though this time mastermind Craig Minowa and his crew had a determined eye locked on the positive potential of the future, instead of a tear-laden one looking at the past. Their new video for "Unexplainable Stories" is a sci-fi reflection of that focus on new frontiers. Animated [...]
I have now passed over my first anniversary and yet I still haven't completed the posts for all of the music we played at our wedding. As is probably typical of the music snob set it took literally countless hours of time to come up with this entire list. If you want to see the rest of these postings just click here . What follows is the continuation of the music that was played quietly in the background of the dinner and cocktail portion of the evening. As I have said before, for this segment of the [...]
Blogophilia refers to the series of mixes that were developed from promotional mp3s found on different music blogs. As we've grown, we've come to rely less on other blogs and more on what we're sent that we review or feature. We receive a lot of requests to repost old Blogophilia mixes, and have to kindly refuse because of space issues. Well, that's going to change. This summer, we'll feature 2-3 Blogophilia posts a week until we're current. If you've followed this site, you'll know we already maintain links [...]

They might look like a fun-loving group of carefree musicians, but the members of Cloud Cult are actually a pretty serious bunch. The Minneapolis, MN-based band crafts complex songs with enough string arrangements and sweeping choruses to earn more than a few comparisons to Arcade Fire. They release their albums via lead singer Craig Minowa's environmentally conscious label Earthology (which operates out of a geothermal-powered building and exclusively uses recycled materials) and donate the proceeds to green charities. Meanwhile, during live performances, artist Connie Minowa (Craig's wife) appears on stage to paint while the band plays. Cloud Cult [...]

Last week I wasn't feeling so great and more than anything I was concert-ed out. As a result I missed some big ones like Tune-Yards, Fleet Foxes, and Lykke Li, but at least my wallet is happier. Now that I haven't seen a concert in 10 days, I feel ready to get back out there. This week provides some good ones and Wednesday is full of tough choices and amazing talent. There'll be some good weekend concerts too in case standing in back yards at memorial day barbeques becomes redundant or too rainy. Specific venue information and links can be [...]

Photo of Saydi by me... Hello again & a happy friday to ya! For today's mixtape, we are going to do something a wee-bit different. Instead of bring you something new, I wanted to bring back something from last year. You see, in a few short tiny little days, my oldest bird is turning 18, a genuine, pasteurized, and certified adult. Nuts. I know it's a cliche to "awww, they grow up so fast!", but let me tell ya, my friends, they do. Seems like just yesterday she was that tiny little [...]
