My gorgeous, no, stunning Minneapolis, Minnesota, better known as the Venice of the Midwest -well, disputed nickname by many and unknown to others- is also a cornerstone in the history of music. Undisputed fact. First, Minnesota handled Prince to us in a silver plate. From a metaphorical hot spring located between First Avenue and Paisley Park studios, royal purple rain washed the fucking World. We owe you one, Minnesota; however, there is so much more. The Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) have inspired several musicians. It's corners, streets, and highways. Musicians have also reimagined the Twin Cities in response, as throughout words, we agree in descriptions and vibes that reshape our perception of our common spaces. I find this fascinating.

I was this close of watching Adrianne Lenker's concert at the Cedar Cultural Center; Everything is sold out
Past midnight. I'm listening at Adrianne Lenker's performance at the Tiny desk (home) series with a bitter taste in my mouth. "What a dream it was, I almost couldn't wake because" this amazing...
