Swank Dollar
The kind of knits we wore in elementary school and would still totally rock today.
New Kids on the Glock
New Kids on the Glock bill themselves as "Minneapolis's premier glockenspiel duo" and cover songs by Justice and the Beach Boys. What's not to love? (Via fiftyonefiftyone.)
Minnehaha Bag Co.
Outfit your "errand bike" with the kind of gear a proper English gentleman would use. The bonus is that these handsome and rugged canvas classics are made right here in the good 'ol USA by the Minnehaha Bag Co. (Via ACL.)
Desktop Landscape
Sometimes when we're sitting here blogging it out we just want to kick up our feet and dream about traveling to a foreign land, one with clouds and sunsets and maybe a unicorn or two. Well, now the Desktop Landscape peeps have made that a reality. We just stare at one of these bad boys and we're there.
Yeasayer In-Store Performance
We thought Yeasayer's All Hour Cymbals CD was the true sleeper of 2007. It's really magnificent. So we were totally in awe of them when they dropped their sonic goodness on us at their FreeYrRadio gig at our Minneapolis store. (More pix here. Donate to The Current.)
Land Locked and Rocked - Part 2
The power of quad city music continues to form like Voltron. Over in Minneapolis this Sat nite, our 3006 Hennepin Ave. South store plays host to the way-wiser-than-their-years Weaver At The Loom (above). Speed's The Name opens and the whole shindig kicks off at 9pm. Capping off the 4 pack at our Salt Lake City, UT location (12 South 400 West St.) is the charming alt-country of Band Of Annuals. Doors at 7:30. Have a blast and let us know how it was!
Calpurnia Peach
The design duo of Calpurnia Peach have given new life to the one piece playsuit with their mix of bright colors and various screenprints. It reminds me of Spring '08 Miu Miu (which is really huge right now) and if you wear it just like it's styled in the photo above you'll look flawless.
Vampire Hands In-Store! Saturday!
Vampire Hands are shredworthy and they are playing at our 3006 Hennepin Ave. store this Saturday at 9pm. Get focused. Come out. Prepare to rage.
Walker Arts Center Teens
Waaaay more than sweet gold fronts, the updated Walker Arts Center Teens program site features blogs, links, events and art (and a smart split screen nav to boot).
Crystal Barlow
As we creep toward the edge of Autumn, we have this Crystal Barlow design ("Summa Summa Time") to help us remember our awesome Summer. (Via print & pattern.)
Alec Soth
For a photographer as prolific as Alec Soth is, we're really impressed with the amount of work he puts into his blog.
Tapes 'n Tapes In-Store Performance
Minneapolis likes to rock and so does St. Paul. So we delivered them another barnstormer from the FreeYrRadio series. This time Tapes 'n Tapes brought the love to their hometown. (Donate to The Current, KCMP here. More pix here.)
