The Go! Team on Fox 9

I had SO much fun with the Go! Team's Ian Parton and Ninja! We talked, heard Ninja's first song she ever wrote, did a Conga, and laughed and laughed while she danced in front of Fox 9's weather wall. All that will be available soon! In the meanwhile, check out what aired on Fox 9 this morning:

Lolla Fallout: MPLS Wins!

With Perry Farrell's Lollapalooza HQ being Grant Park in Chicago the past few (and next few) years, many top-shelf bands that matter have been playing warm-up and cool-down gigs in Minneapolweird, as it's the nearest/hippest town down the road. Being a Lolla attendee yearly (look for the shirtless man in the sailor cap), I miss these shows -- past ones include Ween, Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley -- but hope you non-traveling types can get a lick of the hot hot mess that is Palooza. Here are this year's Lolla Pop treats hitting the Twin Cities:
