  1. "Chicago is an October sort of city even in spring." -Nelson Algren
  2. Anyone else go either Friday or Saturday? Great show last nite. Sir Richard Bishop was quite cool as well. If anyone has a setlist I'd appreciate it. Oddly enough the first time I found out about smog was when he opened for Wilco at the Auditorium Theatre in '03.
  3. Well, we got our asses handed to us at Soldier Field yesterday. But I still got chills seeing NIU run onto the field.... Oh yea, I no longer like the color yellow.
  4. I got bit a few times a week or so ago. They seem to stay much longer than mosquito bites. Worst thing is the mites are too small to even see so you have no way of knowing if you're getting bit.
  5. I saw Airiel at the Empty Bottle last nite, good stuff http://www.myspace.com/airiel
  6. oh yea, and Michael Chertoff isnt wicked creepy seriously, nothing is going to change until theres a new administration. its as simple as that. i accepted it a long time ago.
  7. a couple more inches are supposed to come during the rush hour commute...
  8. the other thing is that the ground was already super saturated, even before this string of storms hit. I was in the middle of a 16" softball game near UIC when the first wave came through. People were getting blown of their feet. And man, that thing moved in fast. There were a couple raindrops, and then a WHOOSH just blew threw.
  9. I dont see the issue or feel its extreme. The active ingredient is a MAIN component of meth, and also the most easily obtainable (not to mention legal) form. People would walk into a Walgreens and buy out the entire store...I can assure you they didnt have colds that bad. I've signed for boxes before..it takes at most 2 minutes.
  10. Not to mention handing the NBA over to ABC was a HUGE mistake. They just do not know how to broadcast basketball games. And of course Stern is so boneheaded he gave them an extended contract. The NBA on NBC will always be the golden days. R.I.P.
  11. Once this man left, the game ceased to be for me
  12. i miss not having cable, if only for this and the colbert report
  13. Hell yes. These guys were criminally overlooked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Yzzn5uBzU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5-g5vZHqKY
  14. How were they? I heard they played Buffalo Trace...god that song is awesome live.
  15. LCD Soundsystem's 45:33 is custom made for running, and its really a brilliant mix for that purpose
  16. I was going to go after work just to catch them and LCD, but I wasnt about to pay $80 and unfortunately I couldnt find a cheap ticket. but yea, DP's stage show really is from another world. i did see the video on youtube of the finale with "one more time", and then their laser suits lighting up "tron" style. awesome.
  17. i totally agree that alcohol is definitely powerful and addictive if abused. on the other hand, just as there are people who can drink responsibly, there are also people who can use drugs responsibly and not have it ruin their lives. all drugs are not created equal, just as all people are not created equal. some people should never have a beer in their life. others should never try a hard drug. however, "just say no" is far more irresponsible than telling someone to know themselves and their limits, and to act accordingly.
  18. most i've done is shrooms, which was once. it was a mixed experience. it would have been better if it was a more favorable setting and i can definitely see how it could be a positive life changing drug if done in the proper context. i had wanted it to be a deep, insightful experience during the day in the comfort of my house. we wound up doing it at a friends house at night with a lot of random people walking in and out, which made me slightly paranoid and detached. also, the naseua i got early on never went away, which didnt really help. even though i didnt take a huge dose, i could definitel
  19. I havent seen it mentioned here, but Catherine Wheel- Ferment is also most choice.
  20. yea, definitely one of the best of the genre hands down..close contender with Loveless. So many great tracks...
  21. its only a matter of time before the RIAA goes after them. I think they probably havent yet just because it represents such a small portion of illegal file sharing. But they are no doubt aware of them.
  22. I think I agree with you. I liked it at first, but as time as gone on its had no staying power.
