1. The Cure: Disintegration
I was big Cure fan in high school. I adored them. I wore the
t-shirt I had for their Mixed Up album nearly every day. But sometimes I forget
how much I love them and it’s nice to be reminded. I put Disintegration onto
the iPod last week and have been very much enjoying it ever since. It’s just
one of those perfect albums.
2. Dark Dark Dark: Who Needs Who
This album came out last year and I didn’t get it until late
in the year and didn’t really start listening to it until December, so it
didn’t quite make my Favorite Albums of 2012 list. Though now, it probably
would. The album is full of beautifully stark piano driven songs with a quirky
rock edge led by Nona Marie’s aching and honest voice. A must listen.
3. Republic
Republic is a bar on the West Bank of Minneapolis (they also
just opened a location in Uptown). The
beer selection is plentiful, the food is fantastic, the atmosphere is perfect
and they might just have the nicest staff of any bar in town. Go check it out!
And this isn’t really a thing I love…in fact, I really
dislike asking people to do things for me. But I’m in a contest and I could use
your vote! It’s for Vita.MN’s Are You Local? contest. And if I win, I get to
perform at SXSW and it would just do wonders for my music side of life. You can
vote HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
