It was my first, too. Bought it because I heard it playing in the late, lamented Blackout! Records on Southport. Bought it on the spot.

Jenny & Johnny - I'm Having Fun Now

Melody's Echo Chamber - Bon Voyage

PATTERSON HOOD - HEAT LIGHTNING RUMBLES IN THE DISTANCE

Were you setting me up? ;-) My full review of this collection: http://active-listener.blogspot.com/2014/10/album-review-liminanas-ive-got-trouble.html

SALAD BOYS - METALMANIA

I've only seen them once, and the night that I did, they absolutely RIPPED. It was at the Lounge Ax (in Chicago) on the tour for 'Perfect From Now On.' "I Would Hurt a Fly" was transportive. The whole show was incredible, really. Sorry that you saw a bad one.

In the intervening years since this post began, my son (now 19) has discovered BTS and they have become one of his favorite bands. Hoping to see them with him sometime. I know that they are on his bucket list of bands to see.
