we say "shapah!"

The sounds these guys make are made to be experienced live and man, look out because the grooves powered by Brady’s bass and Freddy’s drums carry the audience off to dance land.

The clip below does their thing little justice but after their set @ the 501 Club last night, I had to mention them here – it was unforgettably good:

Pollee, Griz, Meg, me and some other pals spent the evening at the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown celebrating the New Year listening to Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles, ELnO [Electric Light nO Orchestra] and Mark Mallman:

“Chooglin’” sounds like onomatopoeia for guzzling, chugging or otherwise consuming mass quantities of something [probably alcohol]. Truth is, it’s a Creedence Clearwater Revival term for mass partying and fornicating, as laid out in “Keep on Chooglin’”

The lyrics go like this:

You got to ball and have a good time
And that’s what I call chooglin’

There’s also a band in Minitropolis that premiered in 2005 called Chooglin’.

Pollee and I saw them last week at the Hexagon Bar and it was a GREAT show.

Here’s a clicky taste for you if you likey.

For those of us who commute on our bicycles to work each day, this is our worst nightmare : yesterday at 4:23 a.m. officers in the Fifth Precinct were dispatched to a report of the body of a man in the roadway at Excelsior Boulevard and West 32nd Street. When officers arrived they found the body of a male in his sixties lying in the street. It appears that the victim had been riding his bicycle eastbound on Excelsior Boulevard when he was struck by a vehicle and killed. The driver left the scene and made no report.

Thus, the Minneapolis Police Department is seeking our help in locating the driver and vehicle responsible for this. The vehicle should have significant front end damage. Anyone with information please call the T.I.P.S. line at 612-692-TIPS (8477).

Hug the ones you love today.
