40s from 7-11 conceal so nicely in mellenium park.

Can anyone reccomend some albums to start with for David Olney?

The rumours I heard were that the metro had planned on doing something with the smashing pumpkins for the 25th anniversary / Hideout block party show. When they realized the demand for the 'reunited' pumpkins, the metro pulled out of the block party. Realistically, the block party would have been much too small a venue for a pumpkins show, but it did kind of force the hideout to scramble to put this lineup together. I'd love to see the frames the're great, and andrew bird is good, but the rest of the lineup i'm pretty meh about so I'm not going this year.

Also, I really really dislike Dan Deacon.

Last years touch and go block party was pretty great tho.

I didn't know frank hamilton was still alive.

ooh, that wire recording looks pretty sweet. Kinda pricy tho. I suppose I'll have to buy it since nobody's going to be torrenting that on oink.

The money goes to the Huntingtons foundation, but looks like you get a photobook of some sort

Seriously, this is fucked up. Someone's ass is gonna be fired.

They should fire that slacker Guthrie.

The guy who wrote the recently released Townes Bio was interviewed on soundcheck on NPR this weekend. The interviewer kept coming back to the question of why if everyone claims Townes is the great songwriter is he not as recognized as Dylan or even Cohen.

He couldn't really answer the question directly, but it seemed to boil down to a combination of townes's anti-carrear minded-ness, the man wrecked every chance he got, substance problems and sound at a time when that sound wasn't really hip. But like Louie said, he's gotten more props since he died.

The film is quite good, and live at the old quarter is pretty much a greatest hits album.

Hear Hear, Bjor. That was a good post.

As I pointed out, the issue is one of rich vs poor. We are living in increalingly income-gapped times, it's easy for the powers that be to pit us agains illegal immigrants as the 'problem' because none of us know any, then on the other side they have an effective army of cheap (untaxed!) workers cast into a system that provides enough for them to keep them down to do the jobs they tells us we 'don't want'. We've all heard the statement "they do the jobs we won't", but why won't we? Well, we don't want them because they pay unfairly and unequally and we can't support orselves or a family on them, they don't offer opportunities for advancement or carrear, they don't offer workplace democracy, among other reasons. Do we believe the immigrants take these jobs because they have a higher tolerance for unpleasant jobs than us? No, they take these jobs because they are the only ones avlailable and since they are illegal they can be blackmailed into a slave wage, enough to continue working but never better themselves.

Why do you think we don't have immigration reform? because people don't want it? or because business owners don't want it.

"I once met a man in Wooster MA, in a diner. This man had been holding his union card for 26 years. We were watching the television news showing footage of Cezar Chavez leading the organizing out there in sandiego. He remarked to me, damn wetbacks we should send them all back, taking jobs from Americans and so forth. And I could have gotten mad, but then I thought, what was this man's education, his work experience, his upbringing, what had he been told by his own union who had given him some tools to understand what was happening on that TV. If that man had had a clear and sincere picture of who he was and where he had come from he would have been a heckuva lot angrier, and he would have known who to be angry at too, I can tell you that...a long memory is the most radical idea in America today"

somebody, from my IWW benifit tape Holstiens bar Chicago 1980-something, talking about why we sing and remember folk songs.

this looks good. Why aren't there more covers of Open the Door Homer?

yeah, superbad was funny enough...but i like knocked up better.

I liked all the stuff Mike Cera mumbles, at one point he calls the girl "the prettiest girl west of the mississippi"

Clark makes a cameo in superbad as well.

I'm not sure if I get the refrence. Is he comparing kerouac's writing to tweedy's voice as some kind of idea of imperfect perfection? That the cracks tell you more than a perfect pitch would? In that case I'd agree, I guess, but I don't know if tweedy would be the first voice to spring to mind for that point.

I always thought the neat thing about kerouac was that he thought of himself as a musician, like these jazz guys he idolized. Truman Capote called on the road 'typing' not writing, and he was right, but it wasn't the insult he ment it to be. It was this awesome improvized book, like a peice of music, all swooping all over and the parts that don't work make the parts that due all the better.

I thought it was being held at chicago ave and damen.

For cta, Either take the blue line to chicago and the chicago bus west or the damen bus south from the damen blue line.

I read this a couple of days ago and it struck me as odd that Harrison and Clapton remained as much friends as they did if all this happened this way. Maybe it was the spirit of the times I suppose.

false

"how can it be bullshit to state an opinion?"

electric guitars? Hooey!

ha. My buddy had one of these. Tho I thought his tone problem was a not practicing problem.

SO they were out of lawn tickets at the vic at 11am but I did get two "obstructed view" pavillion seats for $20. Am I going to be able to see anything at all? Anyone know where the obstructed view seats are at? Oh well.

I went to this show at the old town it was really really really good. the setlist was similar to the 9:30 club one but included a song glen described as an old folk song which I wish I remembered the name of. If anyone has a setlist please post it. And if you have a chance go see these guys the're awesome.

and Marketa is hot.

A beer for a fucking QUARTER?? Nice.

 

They do have $1 beers several nights (including Thurs), and I thought that was pretty exciting.

Yeah It felt like i was in college again. They weren't normal 12oz cups tho, probabaly 6-8oz, but a tray of 20 for $5 was a nice sight...

It's confusing when band names misrepresent the number of people in the band.

For other examples see, Pedro the Lion or The Mountian Goats.

This is a nice bar tho.

they used to have quarter beer on tuesdays. But then got shut down for operating on an expired liquor licence. I guess the're open again.

Plus, slope = the chance of people rolling down and getting hurt (and suing the city).

Yeah that happens at deer creek all the time.

I put a button on a yamaha f35 years back. I think these are glued, but in any case, It drilled fine. If you are concerned take it to guitar center or some local repair shop they should do it for relatively cheep.

Oooh, that looks cool, is there any way I can get a copy?

I'm interested in this as well if anyone finds it.
