'I buy my DVDs used on Amazon, but I never watch them'


That's what Henry Rollins said. To Me. About his myriad film projects. I still can't believe it either. Either/or, make sure to check out what else he had to said during his exclusive Budgeteer interview in "Henry Rollins Continues the 'Recountdown' in Duluth." (Hint: He's bringing his new spoken word tour to Sacred Heart Music Center.)

Elsewhere in the bin...

"Local CD Review BLOWOUT: Yeltzi, Two Many Banjos, the marcgartband and the Hobo Nephews" :: Reviewed this weekend: Yeltzi's "Snow in August," Two Many Banjos' "Give Me Time," the marcgartband's "Me and My Big Ego" and the Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank's "One for the Time Capsule" EP. All good ... what do you know?!

"One Jerk's Opinion: The 2008 Beaner's Songwriter Competition" :: Judge Matthew R. Perrine's – Hey, that's me! – thoughts on the two-song sets from Dustin Ralston, Billy Southern, Sam Dull, Kim Monson, Jason Robuk, George Kaplan, The Tico Three, Drew Anderson, Stephanie Dykema, Mark Blom, Emily Jayne, John Derke, Adam Depre, Greg Tiburzi and Steve Isakson at the fifth annual Beaner's Central songwriting competition (held last Wednesday during One Week Live).

"Duluth Gets a Taste of the BFF-Approved Terrordactyls" :: While easy comparisons could be made to labelmates the Pharmacy and occasional tourmates Best Friends Forever – or, to a lesser extent, Madison’s the Buffali – the simplest way to describe the songs cooked up by this Seattle duo is that they're experimental, quirky and fun. DuluthBudgeteer.com exclusive!

"Discover Duluth: Chambers Grove" :: The magnificent views of the river and the rolling hills that surround Fond du Lac's Chambers Grove are at least worthy of a pit stop on your way to nearby Jay Cooke State Park. DuluthBudgeteer.com exclusive!

Finally, this weekend's cover, "Special One," can be viewed here. Yay for fall colors!

Thus concludes THIS WEEK'S (SHAMELESS) BUDGETEER PLUG!
