On this day, Oct 12, 2014, the Replacements played Billy Joe Shaver's song "Live Forever" for the only time, at the Austin City Limits festival. It's an example of a cover Paul Westerberg brought to the reunited Mats, having played it on his 2005 solo tour, and a cover from an artist local to Austin

In the meantime, a one-time University of Minnesota grad student shot Andy Warhol.

You're right ... it varies by climate and San Francisco has an interesting/challenging climate(s).

No, Prince Vault website is correct. The fan recording from Sun, Oct. 11, 1981 (linked above) has Uptown as an instrumental, with Prince returning to the mic for Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad. The Oct. 9 show must have had a more truncated version of Uptown if Prince walked off in the middle of it.

Thank you, Robyn! All credit to the architects ... this is going to be torn down soon.

The Velvet Underground was supposed to have played at Dayton’s Dept. Store in Minneapolis in Sept. 1966 but Warhol jacked up the fee.

extremely niche content here but I don’t think you can infer “generally bad at customer service” from “small games store doesn’t think customer is serious buyer for $15k display mechanical bird”

I’m not for or against brutalism as such but I find I get to like or even love the structures I get familiar with.

@chrissteller.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 5:13 PM

Definitely!

hard to come up with ones off the dome, but Hugh Grant in Heretic springs to mind, and also (trying not to spoiler too much), there are some pretty good sweaters throughout Get Out
