It's Hump Day, which can only mean one thing here at Gimme Noise headquarters: It's time for the print edition of our blog to hit newsstands. Here's a sneak peek of what we have in store for you:

Jack Spencer profiles hip-hop duo Wize Guyz, who harness and old-school sound on their new full-lenth '85. Find out what Wize Guyz Lojok and Dextro think of the hip-hop scene in Minnesota.

Cyn Collins tells us the highlights at this year's Sound Unseen, the 12th annual films-on-music festival that will take over the Ritz Theater and Trylon Microcinema this week. In addition to a few words from festival organizer Jim Brunzell, Cyn talks to former Hole drummer Patty Schemel about her new documentary Hit So Hard: The Life and Near-Death of Patty Schemel, which details her relationship with Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, her struggles with substance abuse and addiction, and her redemption.

In his recurring column, 5ingles, Ray Cummings tells us what's been on repeat on his iPod this week.

And in the Critics' Picks section, Gimme Noise staff tell you which shows we're most excited to see over the next seven days.
