Curious indigestions of spring

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012  |  Harry Drabik

I had business up the Trail last week. It was a beautiful day when I left home along the shore. The sun was bright on the big lake. An hour drive made a difference. The sky clouded over like a layer of greasy wax paper. In the space of a mile, the outside temp fell from 34 to 26 as I drove into a snow squall with all the entertainment of trying to navigate inside a feather-filled pillow. It wasn’t

Birthday Girl

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012

This has been a hard month. It’s one thing to say you are having “one of those days.” But how is it even possible to have “one of those...months?” Truly, though, I feel like Cybill in this month of April. The weather is definitely part of it. After that awesome mild winter, we have entered this new awful scenario called “Winter-Spring.” “Winter-Spring” is when the temperatures plummet into a deep black cold abyss. “

Buy me these birthday gifts or I will stab you

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012

Listen up, assholes. My birthday is next week, and I expect a ton of sh*t from you people. Tons and tons of sh*t. An endless array of presents, the brilliance of which hasn’t been seen since Mr. T had that Saturday morning cartoon show where he solved mysteries with gymnasts.

With Jeredt Runions

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012  |  Ed Newman

EN: What is the Homegrown Art Festival and what is its relationship to the Homegrown Music Festival?  Jeredt Runions: The art portion of Homegrown this year has been a work in progress for three years now. I’ve been putting on group shows during Homegrown for many years because I felt that music and art up here in the Twin Ports should be presented together, or at least inspire one another. Finally, the Homegrown crew decided to in

With Homegrown Director Walt Dizzo

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012

Walt Dizzo has always existed as a sort of enigma to me. I don’t personally know him. I’ve never seen what he looks like. But yet I usually hear or read his name several times every week. If you pick up this week’s Transistor you will see Dizzo immortalized in comic form on the front cover. You may have recently seen him on the Northland’s NewsCenter with Barbara Reyelts. Or maybe you listen to his radio show on

Homegrown: The Apocalypse and Feeling Good About Twin Ports Music

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012  |  Paul Whyte

Tuesday, April 24, “theater two” of the Zinema was decently filled with members of the Twin Ports community anxiously waiting to watch the Duluth based bluegrass band “Trampled by Turtles” perform on the David Letterman show. The viewers patiently waited through the guests and dragging commercials. It’s hard to describe the amount of energy that was in the theater once TBT started playing on the large screen, but it’s safe to say it was an e

La Madness

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012

Kurt Vatland, Riggs Kessler, Seth Levine, and Aaron Willey have formed a new rock band called La Madness that is quickly making a name for itself in the state. Vatland lived in Duluth for a while and played shows around town before settling in Minneapolis. He brought together a group of guys from the harder side of music to form a band that plays in the key of Buckcherry with some sprinkles of The Doors, Blind Melon, and maybe even the Melvins.

Upsets Keep Dominating Cup Playoffs

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012  |  John Gilbert

When you think about it, this has been the year of the upset throughout hockey. Just think back to the state hockey tournament, when the coaches and league officials got together and seeded the top four teams, then drew their opponents -- sure enough, the top four seeds all were upset by the other guys.

Wild Season Wrap Part 2, Stanley Cup Tourney Rages On, And The Masked Fan Cup Power Rank, The M5!

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012  |  Marc Elliott

SAWBILL LAKE…. Last week I was getting kind of emotional about the Minnesota Wild. First off, I love hockey like crazy and I’m a Minnesota guy, so there. Having an NHL club back in Minny has meant the world to me. Sure, it’s been 11 seasons of frustration, with one huge highlight in the 2003 Conference Finals, but my hopes for an eventual championship for the club are undiminished. This week, let’s look at some of the hard data from the season just concluded. With a mix of established veterans of varying degrees of success and some up-and-coming young talent, here are some important stats.
