Dance music in Duluth?

Aug 21, 2010 9 Comments

Last night my brother, my good buddy, and I were DJing at Hell Burgers and had a friggin’ blast doing it. I was thinking about the clubs and bars in Duluth, and I was wondering what the DJs there play, if any DJ at all. Do you think that Duluth even has a scene where DJs playing dance/house music is even wanted? I’d like to get a normal thing going at some bar or club to play fresh tracks, but I’m wondering if it’s worth my effort, or if I should just go for Twin Cities gigs?

Input would be gnarly! And thanks to everyone who came out and supported last night!

Looking to donate piano

My boss, a local professor, is looking to donate an upright piano to a local classroom, early childhood center, or organization that could get good use out of it. It has not been played in several years, and has a few worn keys as you can see in the photo, but is still in good working condition.

I don’t get this Arcade Fire stuff

Aug 10, 2010 41 Comments

I can not stand this band. Everyone says they like them. I don’t believe it, they only say they do because for some bizarre rationale, they think it makes them look smart or some crap. This pap is for 13-year-old girls. It’s great for that. It is not 1986 and you are not tortured. This needs to stop.

Sacred Heart Music Center is gearing up to do another Duluth Does event in October and we are trying to decide on a theme. We have already done the Beatles, Woodstock, Johnny Cash and Neil Young and the Grand Ole Opry. We have some ideas but want to hear suggestions from the PDD community.
