Mpls takes over
Anybody else notice that two of Pitchfork's six headlines right now feature Minneapolis-based buzz bands? Sure I don't care for either of them, but honestly, we could be doing a lot worse. There's even a third local Buzz Band [A Whisper in the Noise, you know, the band I don't mind out there attaching the good name of my city to their fortunes] that hasn't been featured on PFM in about a week. Still, If I was Andrea, I'd move to Chicago.
In a perfect world, Bands du Jour from Minneapolis would be Fog, Cepia, and Seawhores.
[UPDATE] Tiny Mix Tapes [best music site EVA!] ran the headline Tapes 'n Tapes to Tour, Get Hyped 'n Hyped I like the band just fine, but the hype is ridiculous.

heck yes. as good as fog was, subtle pwned existence.
What about Sugoi!? Those guys rock my little world.
Call me out of the loop, but who is the other (tapes n tapes being obvious) mpls band referred to on Pfork. Forgive me, I don't live in mpls and so I'm a bit behind on things.
Cloud Cult. Got it. Sorry. I missed that.
cloud cult
Fog is the feather in our hat, but he seems so less lean than he used to. I saw tapes n' tapes last night at the Hex for a free, "secret" show. My buddy (from Sugoi) and I where so underwhelmed, partly due to the mix—but come on!
Yeah, yeah, I know, it doesn't make sense to me either. Be sure to take plenty of notes so I can read about Minneapolis bands on the internets.
holy CRAP - you're the best blog (personal) in city pages "best of 2006"!!!!

um, congrats??!!
yeah, congrats stranger. they forgot to mention one of the best parts though - theblvd monthly mix.
Does this mean you can don the "Best of" sticker on your bus window?
Nice job, dude. I'm right on your coattails.
lol heck yeah i want the sticker!
Hey, congrats on the CP Best of!
And I love your taste in music.
as for knowing the music of both seawhores and cloud cult quite well, i agree with you more than a 100%. it is a shame that pretentious phoney "activists" like cloud cult get more attention than so many more worthy bands who are more interested in good music and being true to themselves rather than riding on a gimmick and and exploiting tragedy.

I just saw Fog open for Subtle6 at the Abbey pub in Chicago. Fog is the fillet of the Minneapolis music scene.
