“The Color Pharmacy Fills My Prescription” By Doug MacRostie. The Color Pharmacy is definitely one of the most exciting bands out of Minnesota. They create experimental indie-rock music with a unique, unpredictable, and edgy style. Over the past two years, The Color Pharmacy has toured all over the U.S., and will be performing at SXSW for the third time this year. They did an alternate soundtrack to a segment of the original version of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in 2006, and more recently a soundtrack to the French film ‘The Red Balloon’. Following their EP “DeTour” the Color Pharmacy is back with the full-length record “Texatonka” which is currently available online. And multi-media mastermind Jake Dilley of the Color Pharmacy will join me on Centerstage MN this week from his home studio in Minneapolis. The name of the album, “Texatonka” was a result of their initial recording session getting flooded out with water seeping through the walls and power outlets. They had to move for the rest of the recording, and the bulk of it was done in Jake’s basement (often interrupted by his cats). His house is on the corner of Minnetonka and Texas avenue in Minneapolis: Texatonka.

“What do Bellchoir, Jazz, Gay Men’s Chorus & Metal Music Have In Common?” by Doug MacRostie. All of it will be featured on a special holiday edition of Centerstage MN.
KAXE Producer Jennifer Poenix produced an excellent piece about her love of hand bells – it’s a lush, intimate view of what bellchoir is all about it.
Also, our sister AMPERS station KFAI produced a piece about the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus, which has grown to be the fourth largest gay men’s chorus in the country. As an organization they celebrate diversity and use music as a way to transform, educate and heal.
We’ll also hear selections from a Xmas jazz concert by the Mr. Pumpkinhead Quartet, recorded live on KAXE last year featuring Sam Miltich on Guitar, Don Vidal on Sax, Pat Downing on Bass and Tim Wick on Keyboard.
And the icing on the cake? MN metalheads My My Misfire know it’s better to give than receive, and are debuting/releasing a song from their forthcoming CD for download on Christmas Eve as a gift to their fans.
Plus there will be some non-traditional holiday tunes from Paul Metsa and Eliza Blue. And what MN holiday special would be complete without Bob Dylan’s “Must Be Santa”.
Metal to Polka this week on Centerstage MN.
