Yesterday in History
Sorry for the belatedness, but I felt I had to acknowledge the 16th anniversary of the release of Guided By Voices’ Bee Thousand, one of my favorite rock albums of all time. Pitchfork has it at #10 in the Top 100 Albums of the ’90s, a tad low if you ask me. I may be slightly obsessed with GBV, but I think this album has something for just about everyone. “I am a Scientist!”
Getting Rowdy at the Grace!
Hey Duluth! You just survived the madness of Grandmas, what better way to relax than some live tunes at the Amazing Grace Bakery & Cafe? Loup-Garou will be kicking off their summer Tuesday night at 8pm. John Koepp will be playing an opening set then we plan on getting a bit rowdy. Come for a sandwich, coffee, or some soup and treat yourself to some trumpet and banjo-filled indie-folk!
Too old to remember anything

Robert Plant to cover two Low songs
I know Duluth rock legends Low are constantly receiving honors and critical acclaim for their music but it doesn’t get much more impressive than this: Robert Plant (yes, Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant) is covering two Low songs from The Great Destroyer (“Silver Rider” and “Monkey”) on his upcoming album to be released in September. So cool, quite an honor!

Can someone fix this synth?
I’ve got a Novation K-Station with a bad key. It’s pressure sensitive and only works when you slam down on it, and even then it’s a bit quiet. Is there any place/one in town that can fix it?
