One week left to submit your audio idea to be broadcast from the Foshay!

Northern Spark approaches quickly, and we’re still seeking audio submissions for Station Identification, our one-night project on the observation deck of the Foshay Tower in Minneapolis, MN. We’ll be broadcasting live all night from 9pm June 4th to 6am June 5th, so we’ve got plenty of air time to fill. Some ideas:

• Come to the Foshay the night of and tell a story, sing, or do whatever it is you do.
• Send us some music you’ve been working on. (We’ll be streaming it so you don’t have to worry about downloads!)
• Send us that amazing audio recording you made with your smartphone and have no idea what to do with.
• Anything really, just as long as it’s sound!

The deadline is in one week (Monday, May 30th). See the call for submissions for more info, or email your idea to “notioncollective” at gmail.

Police Investigate Cougar Sighting In Minneapolis

Wow, apparently there’s a cougar sauntering through my neighborhood. Hot.

stuffaboutminneapolis:

When Norm Mosher was driving home from work Monday morning, he saw what he thought was a golden retriever crossing the road in Northeast Minneapolis near along St. Anthony Parkway near Marshall Avenue.

It was only when the long-time outdoorsman got up close that he realized it was a cat by the way it walked. Its long tail was swinging.

“Cats move in a more sultry manner I guess, people call it slinking,” said Mosher. “I call it sauntering.”

Amen Brother.
