On today's Internet, you can't browse very long without coming across a picture or a video of a cat -- cats rule the Internet. Today, I am going to further that conception by posting a video, of a cat, being a jerk. Also, if you didn't know, cats are jerks. Thankfully, this cat was a jerk, and it's really funny -- even the mail carrier has a good laugh at the challenge of having to deliver mail with this cat on the prowl. Enjoy.   Photo via: Google ...

As I often mention, it is my mission to make my rounds to the underrated bars and restaurants in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. From the slanted pictures to mismatched dinnerware, you cannot go wrong with a hole-in-the-wall American Pub to provide essentials like a 'morning after bloody and breakfast' or a place for 'weeknight out with an old friend.' I have driven past Maxwell’s time and time again but for some reason the thought of stopping there keeps slipping my mind. After the typical debate of where...

Last Friday night, First Avenue hosted the first of two nights celebrating The Current's 9th birthday party. Most of The Current DJs and staff were on hand to fulfill hosting duties throughout the weekend, which gave it a real 'happy birthday' vibe. If you weren't lucky enough to get tickets, which were offered to MPR members first and sold out days before the shows, you could have listened to the live broadcast on the radio. Friday night showcased the talents of Actual Wolf, Strange Names, Lizzo, and Har Mar Superstar. I unfortunately missed Actual...

On Sunday, January 26, the 56th annual Grammy Awards were held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The show was a spectacle, to say the least, with collaborations of musicians on opposite sides of the spectrum -- see: heavy metal group Metallica and concert pianist Lang Lang, as well as performances by musicians of yester-year and tomorrow-land converging on one stage in the name of music. The awards were delevd out as usual, Australian artist, Lorde took home two Grammy's in her first ever awards show, Daft Punk received Record of the...

Apparently Minnesota has a lot going for it right now -- the state was recently deemed the #2 best state in the Union by Politico Magazine, and a few months back Minneapolis' Varsity Theater was awarded the title of having the nation's "Best Bathroom." Now, in less than one calendar year, Minnesotans can boast about one more achievement...

It's no secret that Jimmy Fallon is taking over Jay Leno's throne as the new host of The Tonight Show -- the changing of the guard is taking place on February 17. In this video, Fallon enlists the help of three of television's most gifted and nurturing counselors: Danny Tanner, Jesse Katsopolis, and Joey Gladstone. If you've ever seen an episode of Full House, you've seen them all. The show always ends the same way, with a family hiccup or argument...
