I think the fellas listen to most of these artists during warm ups on game day.

Weirdos.

Does anybody listen to Bon Iver (hometown Eau Claire)?  I saw that they won a grammy but I don't think I have ever heard any of their songs.

I've heard a couple of their songs its like a folk emo fusion in my mind and emo shouldn't stand by itself let alone fused with anything.

its one dude... my cousin loves him.

I don't get it.

Justin Vernon annoys me quite a bit. Thanks for nothing, Eau Claire.

So for $5, I got to see 10,000 Maniacs and Tracy Chapman.  

back in the olden days of WZMF & QFM there were a slew of concerts priced from $0.93 to $1.98 etc. for bands like Billy Squier, Angel, Ramjam, April Wine, Piper, City Boy the Godz, the Tourists (later morphed into the Eurythmics) Yesterday & Today(later shortened to Y&T) etc. at places like the Palms, and the Riverside and Uptown theaters

I miss cheap ticket prices

All of this talk of bands I've never heard of (getting old happens) reminds me of a funny story.
My roommates and I, after a few beers, wrote a punk song in the style of the 80's with the catchy chorus "Why are you so f-ing posessive (repeated 3x) (pause)...  (w)itch.  Since we had a song, we needed a name.   We called ourselves the Anti-Beats.   We used to sing our anthem in the shower.   Out at the bars, one of my roommates would be engaged in conversation with arty girls.   He mentioned that the Anti-Beats was one of his favorite bands.   One arty girl responded that she liked their earlier stuff but wasn't a fan of their new stuff.     Hilarity ensued over more beers.     We vowed to return to our roots with our new material.

I'm a huge fan of The Flatliners.  No Trigger, A Wilhelm Scream, We Are The Union, Strike Anywhere, and Propagandhi have all been in regular rotation on my ipod for the past few weeks as well.

We need more of this. Occupy PBR.

Has anyone noticed that PBR tastes better from certain bars? Kinda like how MacDonald's has the best fountain coke. There is one bar in particular in my neighborhood where PBR tastes noticeably better.

maybe that bar actually cleans their tap line/washes the glasses

I've stayed away from PBR since the day I turned 18 and could drink beers that I actually liked instead of stealing PBR or Red White & Blue from my friends father's stash
