The last night at the Church

Here's my City Pages item on the Church (plus a MNSpeak thread, a Modern Radio thread, a TCPunk thread, a Modern Radio thread, and my previous item). I heard the show on Saturday went until 5:30 a.m. (sorry I couldn't get a decent photo of a musician before I left), and everyone ended up soaking wet.

U2: You Don't Have to Go It Alone mixtape

U2 mix for two sides of a Maxell 110-minute cassette tape (usually leaving a few minutes extra on each side). And yeah, only my girlfriend listens to tapes. And yeah, I left off "Where the Streets Have No Name." That's what albums are for. It's a great live song that I just don't need to hear in this context, for whatever reason. More on U2 here.

Kico Rangel: A West Side Story

Click here for my City Pages article on Kico Rangel, who has been playing jazz and Mexican music in Minnesota for a half century. Click the above image for a larger photo of him (far left) with friends in the West Side Flats neighborhood in 1949. Below are photos of the musician with his sisters in the '50s, and flutes and band mates in the '60s.
