Listen to M.P.L.S. Episode #47 featuring Shift Risto

2010-02-01T22:27:00.000-08:00

Thats right, the man responsible for our awesome graphics and cartoon versions of us named Shift Risto was on the show to talk about it all! However, of course I do apoligize for the music levels that jump in and out at times, just bare with us, were still in out learning curve!

2010-01-25T22:33:00.000-08:00

So the homie Baby Gracious came through and helped fix our sound and we had a nice little conversation about music, producing, psychology and of course relationships among other things, peeeeeeeep:

2010-01-25T22:28:00.000-08:00

So we debated a lot if we should put this ep out because the sound is fucking horrible, no way around it I (FranzDiego.com) fucked it up pretty bad, but coincidentally it was one of our favorite episodes with one of our favorite people: "That Dude Trey." So with this disclaimer, we thought since we went through the trouble of bringin him through and recording we may as well put this out, but best believe he will be back and sounding proper, this is too good of a guy to not know in MPLS!

WERE BACK! (kinda) (ok yea were back, but remodeling)

2009-12-16T10:01:00.000-08:00

Ok guys, its been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

Many things have come and gone changed and changed again. But if you know our brand is real life, then you know how this goes.

Heres the deal: We had to find a new space to record because our old place was not working out anymore. It has been very difficult to find a space and we actually are still searching, right now we have been recording in our basements or at our friends jobs when they can help out, shout out to DJ Miguel Vargas!

Anyhow, in the midst of this situation, we have lost DJ Noam The Drummer, i mean, he didnt die, but he wont be with the show anymore and it's not a falling out or anything, he just wanted to spend time on the many other endeavors he has and we fully support him and love him! If you miss him from the show, please know you can catch me and noam every friday night, 6-8pm on Radio K doing the Beat Box Show where he spins some great music and we chop it up with artists and talk music.

So, onto the show, Alicia and I are very excited to be back and start rebuilding and remodeling. In the new show, the technical aspect of sound quality and gadgetry will be not as good as the past, mainly due to Noam's know how and gadgetry, and we'll probably mess up a lot, but thats how life is.

We will definitely be trying to expand the show, topics, guests and do more video, this will all come in time. We also need some graphic design help and photo help, so if you love the show and want to make a donation please do!

Other than that, we will return to our fairly ontime weekly podcast, about stuff.

This weeks show starts out mid conversation, because im stupid and i didnt know how to operate the equipment properly so the whole first fifteen minutes were a one-sided conversation with Alicia because my mic was not picking up. Also this particular show is mad ADD style, we was buggin hard! So, just jump in and enjoy!

Meet Minneapolis Legend David "Stickman"

2009-10-27T15:21:00.000-07:00

If you're from Minneapolis you have all seen him, outside of shows, liquor stores and walking around town with his stick and a pocket full of markers. His name is David but my friends and I know him as "Stick Man," I'm sure there are other names floating around for him as well. He's the guy that stands outside and makes sure everyone that passes him signs his coat, stick, hat, umbrella, bowls or any other random object he finds; and if you can spare the change, it's only a bonus.

I have a lot of love for this man because every time I encounter him he is especially positive and warm, even in the worst Minnesota weather, he maintains his positivity and that is something I have always admired and keeps me going on rough days.

In this video Freez and I, find him at Zipp's liquor in Seward, hangin out askin folks to sign, and as you can see from the video, Freez and I did our job while he riddled off how many objects he's had signed and his attempts to get in the guiness book of world records. This man probably has a huge collection of Minneapolis history on his back, literally. Enjoy.
