Ed Ackerson Talks about his 90's band Polara

Ed Ackerson is a legendary Minneapolis-based musician and producer. His fingerprints are all over some of the best local music of the past 30 years, from starting the Susstones music label and operating Flower Studio, to helming the ground-breaking band Polara and his current project BNLX, a group with a lot of pop and punk swagger. Ed stopped by the Whole in the Fall of 2011 to appear on Making Music. Let's just say he dropped some serious science on us.

beyond his creative abilities, he was so fucking smart as a representative of his own work. im sure countless artists can say they took counsel from him to make good choices and own their work. i miss him so much already.
