KCMP

This is some of the best news I’ve heard in a while. The station MPR purchased a few months ago is going to turn into a music station that, if the article in the Startribune is true, will be rather eclectic.

Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) told its staff Thursday that the new KCMP will present a diverse musical mix that targets “listeners who have grown up in the digital generation” — read: younger ears — with an emphasis on local artists.

Among local and national performers offered as examples: Mason Jennings, the Replacements, Olympic Hopefuls, the Jayhawks, Lucinda Williams, Joni Mitchell and U2. The station also will dip periodically into vintage material from the likes of Chet Baker, Johnny Cash and Ella Fitzgerald

Sounds good to me! Looks like I might be able to listen to the radio again!

The wonderful rumor has been confirmed by my man from Chipotle (or some managing company or something, it was on the website), Rick:

Rick,

I just heard a rumor that Chipotle was coming to Rochester, MN.

Can you confirm this?

Thanks!

I will be there opening day dressed as a burrito!

iLife

New name for the digital life style

Available January 25.

Bundled with new Macs (but….)

iTunes is free, iPhoto is free, iMovie is free, (but….)

iDVD is huge, so they’re going to box it, with all the apps for $49

This is much better than I had expected, I was expecting them all not to be free
