CASBAH 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

The Casbah first opened its doors in 1989 and like they say, the rest is history. Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Morphine, Weezer, Jesus Lizard, Mudhoney, Rollins, X, The Cult, MGMT, White Stripes, Death Cab For Cutie, The Arcade Fire and Rocket From The Crypt have all rocked the Casbah. The San Diego landmark is an underground staple, embraced by rock-n-roll advocates from coast to coast.

This January, Casbah celebrates 20 years with a month-long, much anticipated string of anniversary shows. Bands whose early Casbah gigs infiltrated an entire movement will reunite to pay homage to the local institution. Tickets and full calendar listings can be found at www.casbahmusic.com

Aesthetic Apparatus Studio Warming Extravaganza

WHAT: Aesthetic Apparatus Studio Warming Extravaganza
WHEN:  Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 6PM
WHERE: 2215 Snelling Ave, Minneapolis MN. 55404
WTF: FOOD, DRINKS, AESTHETIC APPARATUS PEOPLES

As some of you may or may not know, we moved the  Aesthetic Apparatus corporate headquarters over the summer and although the space is still not anywhere near presentable we have to as least christen this  new space with a party or we never will. So we are going to have a studio warming party next weekend, Saturday November 15th. Honestly, you're probably just as excited to hear about this as we are as we've just now decided what time we're going to have it at. Oh, you want to know? How about you show up around 6:00PM. How does that sound?

We will have:
pony rides, go kart racing, power-wash-the-hobo prize games, zombie strippers, a
Scientologist cake walk, a finger puppet show, free invisible ipods, free
phantom TVs, free Nelson Mandela (dolls), fecal face painting, stickers,
caricature artists (non union), survival craft projects, magnetic poetry slams,
French Karaoke, Twizzler fights, a screening of Apocalips Now & Laters II,
Broken Orca rides, free handshakes (vanilla only), tour of Santa's Village and
we've also invited all your parents to come too so you can do all this AND catch
up with mom and dad, because we know you never call them enough. OH, THERE WILL
BE FOOD AND DRINKS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

The new studio is at 2215 Snelling Avenue in Minneapolis. For you twin citizens
do please note, this is NOT Snelling Ave in St. Paul. This is the Snelling
Avenue in Minneapolis behind Coastal Seafood in Seward. Oh, you didn't know
there was a Snelling Avenue in Seward? Neither did we until we moved here!
Standing in front of our building you will feel like you're in the middle of
nowhere but really you can come by car (there's actually parking here) you can
take the light rail (we're two blocks from the Franklin Ave station), you can
come by bicycle (we're two blocks from the greenway), you could even stumble
over here from Tracy's Saloon over on Franklin Ave (we're two blocks from them
too.) The possibilities are endless. Just make sure you're here.

See uncensored video from the riots @ the RNC in St. Paul/Minneapolis blacked out by the mainstream media, agit-prop from the protests on Wall Street, footage by The Yes Men, and much more.

Earlier this month the mainstream media took the bait from the Republicans, and people were duped into believing that the RNC was delayed because of Hurricaine Gustav. Uh huh.. yeah right..

The real reason for the delay in convention commencement is that police riots broke out all over Minneapolis / St. Paul. (www.theuptake.org) Tens of thousands of people came to the twin cities for a week of protests against the war in Iraq, and the policies of the republicans. The police caused riots infringed on the civil liberties of the protestors, but also hundreds of bystanders were caught in the mass arrests including dozens of mainstream and indie journalists. The national media stood by complicitly by covering the snooze fest inside the convention walls while ignoring what was happening in the streets. People were arrested without cause, detained without charges, and in some cases tortured in jail. Running battles in the streets were commonplace, with the clouds of teargas and hail of rubber bullets almost impossible to ignore. Now that all the ballyhoo is settling down, the pieces of the story are all coming clearly into view. Get a peek of some footage collected by independent videographers at the special LOST FILM FEST event at the Gershwin Hotel on September 30th to see what the mainstream corporate media isn't telling you.

Additionally people are furious with the idea of Wall Street getting a free ride with this bailout. Naomi Klein says the public should be wary of the Bush administration trying to use the crisis to push through more of the radical pro-corporate policies that helped cause it in the first place. take a peek: http://www.democracynow.org/2008/9/24/naomi_klein_now_is_the_time
