A Band Of Bees- Octopus. You're all missing out

the sears and hancock sure as hell didnt fit in with their surroundings when they were built either

Chicago is having one of its biggest skyscraper booms in its history, def biggest since the 60's/70's. its absolutely incredible. in fact pretty unprecendented. some of the others going up right now: trump international hotel and tower 300 n lasalle waterview tower the elysian legacy at millenium park aqua mandarin oriental int'l 680 n rush (proposed) park michigan (proposed) intercontinental n tower (proposed) 1 museum park

I wouldnt say all, but he does like "organic" design, which seeks to use nature as an inspiration. There arent too many straight edges in nature. This was proposed for New York, although it was never built: and of course, hes famous for the Milwaukee art museum

The Sun Times Architecture Review

id like to see a guy who has a penis that looks like that. if anything, i think it has the outline of the washington monument. as far as traffic, i dont see the issue. the residents will basically use a private road/ramp which leads onto lake shore drive. i dont see how that will back up traffic. if this building isnt built, that parcel will be developed no matter what. the reason streeterville residents are behind this in the first place (which is pretty rare) is because they are getting one tall slim tower rather than a cluster of 2-3 nondescript squat ones which will actually be more co

I follow architecture and development as a hobby. Anyway, the latest (probably close to final) plans were released today for the 2000', 150 floor Chicago Spire designed by Santiago Calatrava. This will drastically change Chicago's skyline. What do you think? From a distance I'm still not sure, but damn from up close its a knockout.

This should be epic. Starts tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpDc4Knoqw

ha i dunno, it didnt strike me that the typical Wilco fan would overlap with Local H, but then again I'm here too Yea, its definitely a concept album. The first two tracks revolve around his life in a dead end town.

I'll prob take heat for this around here, but... Local H- Pack Up The Cats

I saw this in the Popmatters review, but "Fiery Crash" really does sound like "War on War's" cousin. And I've Heretics on repeat all day. What a great song....

im all about 20,000 person dance parties

Been playing the Tossers all day probably heading here for some pints later

I havent seen anyone mention Intonation either. Hows their lineup shaping up?

its definitely a grower of a record. im liking it more and more each time i go through it. today the sun is finally out, and its making the album much more enjoyable .

lol i was listening to sky blue sky just before i saw your post and thought the exact same thing. actually, 0:17-0:25 of "you are my face" reminds me of the beginning of u2's "with or without you" everytime.

im loving "on and on and on", great closer. the way it builds up the whole song, and then everything just drops out at the end...beautiful.

could someone possibly PM me a link of a rip? i was out all night and missed the stream...i was hoping it would be up longer than a few hours but oh well
