Brand New - Failure By Design
And every time I leave you go and lock the door.
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder.
I’m another day late and one year older.
It’s failure by design.
I have been waiting to see Brand New preform live for years now and the opportunity has finally arrived with the first annual River’s Edge music festival.

Marisol - Lotus
The perfect tune for roaming the streets of Minneapolis on your bike.
One of my favorite songs by local band Lucy Michelle & the Velvet Lapelles.
Song of the day is “Special Party Time for Everybody.” Oh hells yes.
Bring it on, summer.
Pavement — Cut Your Hair
There is quite an accurate description of the music industry as I see it in the lyrics of this song.
Sage Francis — Runaways
But who do they think I am?
Think again, I’m not that quick to plan ahead of time
I’m two steps behind their schedule, they pretend to have read my mind
I think they just misread the lines in the palm of my hand
Cause, they’re random scars caused from slap boxin’ with landlords
I ran with the dogs till I realized they were all mutts
Turned bitch once the dog catcher caught up
Forced into trucks, boarded up, put to sleep in the pound
Being an orphan sucks, but I’m through with sneaking around
I see my frown posted up on street lights
And telephone poles, from what they show it seems like
I never grow old, from what they show it seems like
I never go home, and that doesn’t seem right
Cause they won’t let me grow…
Pass On, Poem by Michael Lee
Directed by Minneapolis-based director, Josh Thacker.
GAYNGS — Cry
Gayngs is by far one of my favorite musical collaborations to date. With such an expansive cast of musicians it’s hard not to find something to love about this group.
GAYNGS — The Last Prom on Earth
This would have been an unforgettable concert to attend.
