I decided to compile a list of 25 artists that I discovered or rediscovered in college, and was the driving force to get this music blog up and running. The list is broken into five categories - Midwest/East Coast hip-hop , West Coast hip-hop , International/non hip-hop music , Bay Area hip-hop and finally my top five . I plan on posting one per week for the next five weeks each Sunday, [...]
This last sunday, The Local Show with David Campbell (on the Current) did an interview with the great Ryan Olson - founder of GAYNGS, co-founder of Mel Gibson and the Pants, and occasional bass player for Building Better Bombs. I posted it up on here because I've been lacking on the interviews, so I thought I'd do the next best thing, steal one! [Audio clip: view full post to listen] When you start listening to the interview, you begin to realize Olson's voice doesn't sound right; that's because he decided to [...]

I was at the back room in Cafe Select this weekend and what a good time it was. The DJ was phenomenal and I wish I had gotten his name but I was enjoying the tunes so much that I didn't care to bother. I don't know what it is about walking through a kitchen that makes going to a bar that much more interesting but this was one of those places and it rocks. The tiny room feels more like a house party then a bar and since I've been on a quest to avoid all that is lame [...]

Digitata have been on hiatus for awhile now. They re-united to record an album. Here is note about their first and possibly last show in a long time.. We are releasing it at an art show we are throwing for some friends at First Amendment Arts. the show is called "Sawdust City". These are the artists: Eric Lee - incredibly detailed "realist" paintings of decaying industrial settings. Uses gunpowder too. some of them are HUGE. David Jensen - abstract paintings made with a huge variety of materials, i believe mostly from the construction [...]

Download: Solid Gold - "Who You Gonna Run To" (Mel Gibson and the Pants Remix) ( via SV ) Lots of unique band names in this one, and, like the TVOTR Nat King Cole Cover , it comes courtesy of Sound Verite . It's a remix of "Who You Gonna Run To," a track that both appears on the EP of the same name, as well as their Best-Of 2008 release Bodies of Water , done by fellow distinctively monikered MPLS band Mel Gibson and the Pants . Check it [...]
Download : Mel Gibson & The Pants - "Stress Fracture w/Mictlan" Download : Mel Gibson & The Pants - "Crosby Steals Nash And Runs" While a band name like Mel Gibson & The Pants (Was something like The Helen Hunt For Red October too subtle?) may suggest goof-pop along the lines of Let's Get Out Of This Terrible Sandwich Shop , the dark, otherworldly sonic textures and minor-key guitar line of "Where It Hurts" suggest that Totally Gross National Product act Mel Gibson [...]
