Return Of The Grievous Angel
Sunday Records was open on that day and I had off. It was the only one given to me in the foreseeable future so I had to go. The owner gave me all the un-priced hip-hop records for $20.00 flat. Some of the records you see here cost as much themselves and made up for all the 7″ and 12″ singles that were $2.00-$5.00 each.
After passing up Cabaret Voltaire’s The Crackdown, I found it again and took it this time. They had more Cabs-, Front 242, and Ministry records for any industrialists looking to visit.
First Avenue Celebrates 50 Years
This year, local concert venue First Avenue celebrates 50 years of music and entertainment in Minneapolis. While anniversary celebrations were due to begin in April 2020, all performances have been indefinitely postponed because of COVID-19. Artists, arts organizations, and the entertainment industry are being especially hard hit during these uncertain times, so follow your favorites on social media to learn how you can help support them.
Special Collections recently purchased a collection of original silkscreen posters spanning over two decades of concerts at First Avenue, most of which were commissioned prints made by local artists and shops. The collection not only documents music performance history at First Ave, but also the vibrant print scene in the Twin Cities.
A couple dozen posters from the unique 200-poster collection were purchased for the Minneapolis History Collection from Olivia Mulvey Morawiecki, director of Citizen Parlor, a local art consulting business. Citizen Parlor partnered with the Minnesota Historical Society on the recent exhibit First Avenue: Stories from Minnesota's Mainroom.
The new Special Collections acquisition includes posters for the following performers:
Ani DiFranco
Boredoms
Decembrists
Dillinger Escape Plan
Dinosaur Jr.
