As much as I love Mason Jennings, I tried to stay away from the more widely popular bands/artists. Though these bands/artists come from areas of Minnesota other than just Minneapolis and St Paul, that is where I'd say the "music scene is" and where most of them play. All of these bands can be found on MySpace. And except Meredith Fierke, they can also be found on iTunes. Meredith has one album out, but has only just recently released it.
01. Cloud Cult - "Bobby's Spacesuit" (Advice From The Happy Hippo)
02. Skittish - "Phantom's Toast (Tragedy Of The Commons)
03. Meredith Fierke - "Train's Song" (The Procession)
04. The Plagiarists -"Lonely Love" (Literal Scene)
05. Roma di Luna - "Plenty" (Find Your Way Home)
