there are 3 or 4 records right now that i am obsessing over, minneapolis’ the evening rig’s is doin stuff is one of em. right out the gate with “the steve mcqueens,” i knew i was going to dig their replacementy/lucero-ish/buffalo tommy ways. you ever listen to a record and it just feels right? is doin stuff sounds like a patchwork of a lot of my favorite records, which is to say ive heard this all before, but i love it all the same. pat over at culture bully called is doin stuff a possible “american classic,” or at least alluded to the fact that it may, given time, be considered one. read his in depth review here.

In my humble opinion, the best record to come out of recent Twin Cities history, by far, is the new Spirits of the Red City album, Hunter Moon. I have easily listened to it a hundred times more than any other disc in 2009 so far. Check it!!
cool, i will definitely try to locate that. appreciate it…
