Minneapolis in-store performances from The Bad Plus, and Eyedea & Abilities

It is nice to look forward to getting the mail from time to time, like when the new Great Lakes Swimmers CD is expected from Amazon, for instance. But the way I managed to get six cd’s for about forty-six bucks at The Electric Fetus last Friday is my preferred method. Good record stores are like a cross between a museum, and an eclectic and discerning shrine.

There are specials and activities associated with “Record Store Day.” In a couple of hours I’m going to see an in-store performance by The Bad Plus with Wendy Lewis supporting their great new record For All I Care. It will happen at the Electric Fetus

First is Brightblack Morning Light – Self-titled. This is some really roomy, shiny mood music.
