Last night I experienced something so unforgettable and so mind-blowing that I am just happy to share with the readers on Mindinversion.net. I love music so much, yet I find it incredibly hard to write to an audience while being succinct, to the point, factual-in great depth, and at the same time remain fair, interesting, and unbiased.Like, this is what I truly listen to. I am not just pushing this to promote someone I know. So when I come across an experience such as this I must share. I am going to avoid the small details, not do a bio, [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-02T00:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4927145/know-good-indie-labels-2013/
Independent record labels are sprouting up all over the place - in location & style. And the ones that are doing it right not only have a choice selection in catalogue, but also take the time to artfully craft their image as they do their artists.

Between our list of top EPs, albums, and songs of 2012 this list is at risk to become repetitive. With that said, being a Minneapolis based music collective, we feel it's still important to highlight the artists that keep our state rockin'. Here's a list of Minnesota artists who released some mighty good tunes in 2012. Click on the cover art to listen to the albums . If you like what you hear, go out and support the artist - buy an album, concert ticket, t-shirt, or whatever. Just do it.

The closest thing the U.S. ever had to the UK's Tops of the Pops , Solid Gold might be best remembered by some as the show hosted by faded pop stars looking to relight their fire: Warwick, Marilyn McCoo, Andy Gibb, Rex Smith and Rick Dees, a one-hit-wonder DJ-turned-television personality who topped Billboard's Hot 100 in 1976 with "Disco Duck."
