Weekend Gamer: Avowed
Now, there is a new game called Avowed, the third game in the “Pillars of Eternity” universe. It is an action role-playing game from Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios. The game is available to play in early access, if you pay for the most expensive version ($90). For everyone else, the official release date is February 18, 2025. The best part is, if you have Xbox Game Pass, you can play for “free”. If you don’t want to pay for Game Pass and want to own it - I suggest buying the game on the Xbox Game App, as that means you also own it on Xbox. Basically, you get it as a two-for-one deal.
Flashback: Raveonettes at Triple Rock Social Club (26 Sep 2012)
I previously mentioned that I’ve seen Danish indie rock duo The Raveonettes at at least twice (I’m almost certain I’ve seen them prior to 2007, because I was listening to Whip It On in 2002 and would have likely seen them on that tour (if they toured at all).

Serenading the Spirit of Someone You Love
In a compact set that packed a heartfelt wallop, L.A. band Earlimart wanted to serenade a love lost too soon. “It feels like Elliott’s spirit is here,” said singer Aaron Espinoza. He was talking about the late Elliott Smith, the soft-spoken singer-songwriter, friend, and muse who, according to Espinoza, used to “weird” the band out by standing front and center at their L.A. gigs back in the early aughts. Smith, who died in 2003, inspired the sound of Earlimart’s most well-known album, Treble and Tremble, released in 2004. That album conjured Smith in its whispered, resonant lyrics and mellowed-out vibes, the sound of soft-spoken indie rock shows that filled Spaceland and other intimate venues around Echo Park and Silverlake, where I’d see them play regularly back in the day.

Flashback: Art Brut at Triple Rock (09 Nov 2009)
Oh man, how I love Art Brut. This isn’t really a band, it’s more like a weird art-rock with singer Eddie Argo “singing” or talking over music. Argo writes the best songs, like “Formed a Band”, which tells the secret origin of him forming a band: “Formed a band, we formed a band! Look at us, we formed a band! … And yes, this is my singing voice, it's not irony, it's not rock and roll. We’re just talking to the kids.”
Last Breath
We just saw Last Breath, a survival thriller film, based on a true story (and is a feature film version of the 2019 Netflix documentary of the same name), and not to be confused with The Last Breath (a 2024 film about treasure hunters), at a preview screening event at the ShowPlace ICON theater in St Louis Park.

Backyard Birding
The other app, that is new to me, and came highly recommended by their fans, is called Merlin Bird ID, by Cornell Lab. This app offers the old-style look-up similar to Audubon, but if you have a photo, it will use machine learning to match your bird to its database… and it’s very effective! It does a much better job in finding my bird than the iOS built-in lookup.
The Monkey
We ended up going to see The Monkey, the new film by Oz Perkins, at the Emagine Cinema in Willow Creek, as part of their $5 Tuesday promotion.
