IDK how this isn’t on every news station in Minnesota.

100% undeniable proof a Minneapolis Police officer stole a young man’s vehicle and sole means of transportation. NOT ONLY THAT, but he’s gone on unpunished. SHAME ON YOU MPD!

Prince is rumored to have a large collection of unreleased music locked away inside a huge vault at Paisley Park. For years fans have speculated about whether the stories are true and just how much music there may be. The BBC has come to Minnesota in search of the truth.

I have always found this fascinating.

Minneapolis boy’s free piano concert yard sign goes viral

Dylan Spoering Piano Concert

Dylan Spoering, a young boy living in Uptown Minneapolis, is planning a piano concert tomorrow afternoon in his front yard — and a hand-made sign went viral and earned him publicity he could never have dreamed of. The Facebook event has over 1000 invitees and nearly 230 confirmed attendees including some notable people. There’s no word yet on what pieces Dylan will play, but the sign indicates that he’ll be tickling the ivories from 2:30-3:20 p.m. via MPR

Fred Armisen on ‘Portlandia’ and Minneapolis

fred-armisen

“I grew up on Hüsker Dü and the Replacements and Prince. [Minneapolis] is one of the earliest inspirations for “Portlandia,” actually. My band [Trenchmouth] was in Chicago but we would go up to Minneapolis because our label was up there. So we’d go play the Uptown [Bar], 7th Street Entry — all the time. We just loved the drive up there and always had really great shows. We’d eat at the Egg & I. It was my first exposure to that kind of self-made and curated lifestyle. You know, like the little coffee shops, and art galleries, people building record companies out of warehouses and their houses. All of that was sort of like, “Oh wow, you can actually make a nice life for yourself.” So Minneapolis was my first exposure to that.”
