'The Twin Ports music scene is extremely cliquey'


Is it true? Is it really that bad in the Twin Ports? That's just one of the sentiments brought up in "Andy's in the Basement, Mixing Up the Medicine," my Duluth Budgeteer News feature on Andy Perfetti's Subterranean Productions in Superior, an all-encompassing multimedia studio he runs with LocalM.com's Craig Rhode Jr.

Elsewhere in the bin...

"CD Reviews: Andy Elwell, Josh Harty and the Toadies" :: Reviewed this week: Hibbing native Andy Elwell's "New Ground," Madison Americana purveyor Josh Harty's "A Long List of Lies" and, straight outta Fort Worth, Texas, the Toadies return with their third album in 14 years, "No Deliverance."

"Also Released 5" :: New(ish) albums from the Strugglers, Jean Grae and Hearts Revolution reviewed in brief. DuluthBudgeteer.com exclusive!

"DuluthGreen.com: It's About Time" :: "The truth is, unless you have a lot of time on your hands — which no one does — it makes ('green') products and services difficult to find," Ken Zakovich said of DuluthGreen.com, which attempts to help consumers find such products. DuluthBudgeteer.com exclusive!

Random photos of mine (of the Dutch-flagged cargo ship the Flinterland ... not exactly random, I guess) can be found adorning "Wind Turbine Blades Sail from Duluth to Brazil" -- including this weekend's front cover shot.

Plus, Doomtree and Heiruspecs confirmed to headline the Hip-Hop Back to School blowout at Duluth's Bayfront Festival Park Sept. 13! More details here.

Well, that's it for this week's shameless Budgeteer plug!
