Reader Challenge: A Wiki Fun Time

Look at these guys- they're chillin' to the max!
I have to be brief, I'm in the middle of a slug-fest by the name of "Corporations Memo." But in honor of the radio debut of Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, I wanted to enlist some faithful readers to drop a wiki-bomb on the Minnesota Public Radio website.

Every band on the MPR database has a related page in their Minnewiki section. Currently the 3x Buffalo page is as blank as my homework assignment. I think it would be funny if everyone takes a second out from their day and add some obscure history to the site (or a cool nickname for a band member, a fictitious album to the discography, etc.). Let's get creative!

The first thing you'll have to do is create an account on the page. No biggie, it's public radio, they aren't going to cyberstalk you. Then just click on edit and type away. I haven't played any wiki tricks before, so this will be a neat experience. 

Here's the link to the Minnewiki page. Here's a link to the Local Show. Big thanks to Josh and Erik for bringing in the track and sneaking it in between some highlights from their new album Outside! The February 20th show, which includes an interview with the aforementioned Josh and Erik, is up and streaming. While you're listening, you might as well request some Fables. And, finally, a couple of songs:
