The Electric Fetus is starting a new program, MinnEconomy, that’s encouraging people to shop locally, since so much more money goes to the local economy from a local store than a big-box or chain store. This isn’t just music, but everything the Fetus sells from records to shirts and jewelry and whatever else you can find in the front of the store.
They’re celebrating the kickoff tomorrow with a set of special free in-store performances tomorrow at all of their locations. Here’s the lineup for the Minneapolis location:
Lucy Michelle & the Velvet Lapelles – 6pm
Solid Gold – 7pm
Rocket Club – 8pm
Check out the Fetus website for more details or for lineups in Duluth and St. Cloud as well as the host of benefits for artists through this program.

Atmosphere + Tou Saiko Lee
Posted in Record Reviews, Things Goin' Down on May 15, 2008 by 612 to 651Here are a few more articles that I published recently. Great time to be prolific, right in the middle of finals.
Feature piece, as well as an interview, on Tou Saiko Lee in the wake of an attack on him by Jason Lewis, one of the right-wingers on KTLK.
Also, here’s an extended review of the new Atmosphere record, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, as well as an interview with Slug.
Thanks for the eyes and, as always, more to come.
