All the Wine...is all for me and the CSGW's

So, a little shameless self-promotion here: One of a Kind: Minnesota Hosts Hip-Hop’s Soundset Festival : U2 Interference - U2 Fans, Pop Culture Webzine, & More

It's my first review since taking a position writing for the website. Any thoughts you guys have would be appreciated.

Aw, that's too bad. Have you been sick lately?

I honestly would love to, if I had money to spare for transportation up to Toronto. I've never been there, and what better excuse than going to a music festival with two awesome people? They really sent you two extra tickets though?

Hey, Cassie! How goes it?

 

[onebloodonelife]

Ashley! I'm pretty good, how about yourself?

 

[Screwtape2]

Hi Cassie, if you are still around.

 

[onebloodonelife]

Hey Justin, you're up late! How've you been?

[Screwtape2]

Hi Flybabe.

Hey Justin, you're up late! How've you been?

Yeah, my sleeping patterns are way off at the moment. I'm doing well. How are you?

 

[flybabe]

How are you both?

 

[Screwtape2]

I'm going to read your review in a second Cassie.

How are you both?

What do you know? Mine too.

Let me know what you think.

Hi FB, how are you?

 

[flybabe]

I`m great,but tired I`m listening to this dude named Hawk Nelson,he has some super awsome music. I didn't realize how good he was...

It is taking me so freaking long to get out of the 12,000 mark in my posts

 

[onebloodonelife]

Cool, I'm listening to a live show by The National now, probably going to put on some live Radiohead after that.

Me too, actually. I feel like I've been hovering around the same count for awhile now.

 

[bono_212]

Back. I'm doing pretty good, not perfect, but good.


Also...I'm....I'm kinda addicted to Dave Matthews Band >_>

 

[flybabe]

I just rediscovered the Club Mix of THBAO,and that has got to be my favorite remix of that song

 

[onebloodonelife]

Did the new DMB album do you in? I still haven't heard it...

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, thanks to my new addiction to listening to new albums + napster + 9 years of pent up wanting to liking DMB, it finally all took its toll. I love the new album, I can't get the Bridge...thing from Funny the Way it Is out of my head, it's one of the coolest things I've ever heard.

 

[onebloodonelife]

I've never really gotten into them either. I went through a minor DMB phase in high school, but it waned pretty quickly. But, I have always heard they're a fantastic live band.

 

[Screwtape2]

I really liked the review Cassie. One of the greatest advantages of living in the midwest or mideast in your case , is being able to use the "you might not think *insert city or state* when it comes to *insert pretty much anything*."

Awesome, thanks! It's true, and I really do get that pretty much every time I bring up hip-hop in Minnesota. People just don't believe it.

Everyday came out right when I got obsessed with music, specifically, music videos. So I was a big singles person, cause I just loved watching Vh1 and MTV all day. The video for I Did It just kicked so much ass, even though I hate the song, that I got really interested in the band, and I picked up a few singles, and ever since then, I've always been keen on hearing their new singles, but I never did pick up an album.

When I got Napster, one of the first things I went to do was listen to their albums, but DAMN IT, they weren't there! BUT! When Big Whiskey came out, they finally put MOST of them up, so I finally got real into them. Or at least pretty into them. I'm working on it lol.

As for them being a great live band...hoooo yeah. I've not even seen them live in person yet, but I spent three hours this afternoon watching a live concert they put on for Fuse, and man, jaw dropping.

Yep, that's the album that I listened to a lot when it first came out.

My sister saw them last summer, and that's what she said too, just absolutely incredible on stage.

I LOVE me some Space Between

That's one of the big reasons why I keep coming back to them, my love for Springsteen. Live, there are a LOT of parallels, though, Bruce and Co. don't often break out into jam sessions

 

[Screwtape2]

I think stereotypes involving the music of an area are often wrong in reality. Would you agree?

"...and the space between..." I know the rest of the melody, not the words though.

But, how awesome would it be if they did?!?

Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down
lol

Oh man, they used to do it a lot in the 70s. And they did do a 15 minute performance of Mary's Place at the last show I was at, but, man, DMB was breaking out into extended solos during almost every song lol.

 

[onebloodonelife]

Oh, definitely. Certain areas basically always have genres that are more prevalent, but most types of music show up everywhere. I mean, talking specifically about hip-hop in Minnesota/the Midwest at large, it has to do a lot with racial perceptions of hip-hop, and the view that Minnesota isn't "black," and therefore doesn't have hip-hop coming from it. Of course, that's just not true, and though the hip-hop scene in Minnesota is a very white-dominated scene, it shows how diverse hip-hop is more than anything else.
