Hey, did you know The A.V. Club has seven local sites? Every day, writers in Austin, Chicago, Denver, Madison, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and the Twin Cities are posting about music, films, and other events and news happening in their cities. Whether you live in one of these cities or elsewhere, there’s plenty of great local stuff that’s worth a look. Here’s a round-up of what caught our attention this week.
• The Twin Cities celebrated the 70th birthday of Duluth, Minnesota, native Bob Dylan by looking back at a few of Mr. Zimmerman's stranger moments (though no one can explain that Bieber hair moment).
• In the wake of the announced Pearl Jam 20th Anniversary celebration, Milwaukee weighed the pros and cons of attending the big bash.
• Philly dusted off the bikes to enjoy some two-wheel fun at the annual Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby.
• Chicago took a deeper look at songs by Jason Isbell that fans of his former band, Drive-By Truckers, may dig.
• Austin talked with Josh Epstein of up-and-coming indie poppers Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. about his musical beginnings.
• Madison was entranced by the newest video from Julian Lynch, no narcotics required.
• Denver sneered at convention and put a punk twist on its look at spring fashion.
