I first heard Wilco in college and thought “Eh, these guys are ok, nothin’ special.”

I’m now eating my words.

The best bands make it sound so easy. The best writers find lines that sound as natural as being born.

Listen to Kicking Television, and enjoy some classic Wilco.

Pipe cleaner art…a common sighting at Finn Miles shows!

Pipe cleaner fashion

We pulled out the art supplies and before we knew it pipe cleaner art was everywhere! It turns out that the guys from Why Make Clocks are quite the artists (Pac Man, Star Wars, and other creative elements were bent and formulated by WMC). Also, if you haven’t heard Why Make Clocks plan an acoustic set you’re really missing out; their songs shine in an intimate setting like the Mars Cafe.

Also, congratulations to H. Dustin Harmsen of the Atudes on a wildly successful opening acoustic set, as well as the Atudes CD release…which is tonight!

Thanks Sam!

Has the color faded from your lips?

You might recognize something familiar about this Dwolla highlight of Des Moines local T-shirt company 8/7 Central…

They’re using Finn Miles music, and we’re glad.

8/7 Central are good friends and make great shirts. Dwolla might reinvent how E-commerce is handled. We’re glad to be in such good company with innovative and well-thought folks.
