so it's not a catchy alliteration or anything, but today definitely is a minnesota music kind of thursday. actually there are two m's right in a row, so that makes it alliterationarily neat. beyond hard-hitting hockey players, that whole state has produced awesome musicians and music, from semisonic, to a bob dylan album, and nowadays to an awesome "indie" music scene, if indie actually means anything as a genre now that's it's been so overused and abused. but really, the minnesota music scene is alive and thriving. examples:
caroline smith & the good night sleeps. quirky voice and folky sound overall, awesome band!
and then, of course there's cloud cult. only the best band ever, in my unbiased and open-minded opinion. these are from their in-studio performance @ KEXP in seattle.
and tons of other bands, but i think i overloaded the video capacity of this blog...so i'll let you discover it for yourself. (sorry for the overly large video sizes, too. apparently i don't know how to work the internet.) land of ten thousand lakes! great thursday.
