[Martin Edison]

Hey Tom,

will you be at the record fair next month?
i've never been and it would be extra awesome to meet you in person.

maybe you can autograph my iPhone?

i'm wondering if i should try and volunteer again this year. i don't know if that would lead to me spending more money than usual. hmmm.

[Martin Edison]

You can volunteer to help out? Is that something that's posted
on the FMU website?

I wish there was something like this in Minneapolis. Our coolness factor is incredibly low.

Isn't Minneapolis the city that's cranked out a couple of iconic rock bands and half of the music journalists in America? Have some pride!

What have they done for me lately....all that happened when I was a pre-teen and now I'm pushing 30. Now, all this city produces is hip-hop for whiny suburban kids and a couple ironic hipster bands. Plus, we have this station called The Current produced by Minnesota Public Radio which churns out 24 hours of music for aging hipsters. Our scene is in pretty bad shape right now.

You have the Birthday Suits. They played a Vice Magazine party for CMJ. Is Vice signing them? If so, good for them. They are nice fellows and ROCK THE STAGE.

Minneapolis also has Brother Ali, who's released two of the best hip-hop albums I've heard in a long while. Granted, I'm not as up on current hip-hop happenings as I once was, but I still know good when I hear it.
