Murzik — “Poison Tears”
This is a Minneapolis band, but the video is directed by Nicholas Sunsdahl, and the lovely Chelsy Whittington appears in it — both of whom are locals.
Trampled by Turtles – “Alone”
The new Trampled by Turtles video premiered on the Country Music Channel. This was really a pleasure to see, both as a Duluthophile and a music lover. Our boys just keep getting bigger (and better). “World Premiere” music videos surely don’t have the same appointment television mystique that they did back in the early 80s on MTV, but still. This is cool.
Dave Simonett’s MN tattoo and various Duluth scenes and landscapes all have uncredited cameos. Feel free to do the “Where in Duluth?” game on them. I could only figure out a couple on my own.
Duluth and Isle Royale, c. 1933
A film of Duluth and a trip to Isle Royale by my Grandpa Henry.
The Fractals – “Car Farmer”
Live on the PlayList, April 5.
Time-lapse video of Superior’s North Shore
This is a pretty cool compilation of time-lapse videos taken over the past few weeks along the North Shore. Definitely an early spring on the shore. I’m still trying to figure out what that lightning flash thing is at 1:07 during the Aurora activity, some kinda gamma ray flash or something. Pretty sweet.
The Boundary Waters
Two videos by Alex Horner — shot Sept. 24, 2010 — with music by Duluth’s Steve Horner. (more…)
Coyote CD Project on Kickstarter
Coyote is hard at work on a new album. Our goal is to record our latest batch of original tunes before Marc hits the road in June. We’re taking the leap and have set-up a Kickstarter page with rewards / “pre-sales” of the upcoming CD and such. Ryan Dahlberg made a little movie to tell you all about it.
Foggy Night in Duluth
Video by David Cowardin, shot March 18.

Local photojournalists film animal abuse in the South
Two local photojournalists are filming a documentary on animal cruelty in the South and the people working to change the culture there. David Cowardin and Joe Olivieri spent two weeks in the gritty areas of rural Alabama and are hoping to return for more footage and interviews. They launched a Kickstarter to raise funds for another tour South. You can donate here.
If their trip is funded, they would like to rescue a dog and find it a better home in Duluth. Anyone interested in adopting a pet can contact David at 320-290-0877 or cowar006 @ d.umn.edu. The adopter would only be responsible for the adoption fee.
Mellow Iceberg Rides
The scene down at the lake these days.
A Floating Rock in Lake Superior
I wish I’d gotten more footage for an even better view of this typically quirky Duluth sight. But I had to wade in to get this and I froze my ass off doing it, so this is what you get.
Low – “Point of Disgust”

Caitlin Robertson — “Like Pure Snow”
New video shot in Duluth.
Super Frozen – Lake Superior Surf Short
Lake Superior surfing video shot on Jan. 13, set to the song “Cry, Cry, Crow” by the Pines.
Gotta getcha shovel if ya wanta go ta work
After finally getting a decent snowstorm, I wanted to have a little fun with the timelapse app. I put my iPhone 4 on my shovel handle with a gorilla pod. It flopped around too much, so I was only able to do a short time lapse.
