Great book. I am in the middle of it, as well (while reading 2 other books). Glad that it is kinda serialized, so that I can come back to it at will. I love a lot of these bands, already. And I love hearing their stories.

Wife and I are going to see him in Chicago in May. EDIT: Just pre-ordered it for my wife (and me). If the rest of the album is as good as this, it's gonna be pretty damn good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBwspur5yqo

This is the link to the AllMusic.com review for my band's first album: http://allmusic.com/album/as-drawn-by-ethan-age-2-r695053/review They listed, but did not review the second album, but that's okay. As far as I'm concerned, getting anything listed, let alone reviewed at AMG just kinda verifies that I did something worthwhile.

About to play this for the first time: Looking forward to it!

ohh yeah... Cool.

Aww hell! I didn't know that you were a Chicago guy. We'll have to meet up some time.

No. Just chronicles the everyday goings on at the hot dog stand. And, as somebody who has been there, it's all fairly typical of what goes on there. Although, since they've become (in)famous for the attitude, they've started hitting it a bit harder. Did you see the clips? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRV9BLSaT5E

You know, this place really is one of a kind. But now I'm afraid that it's just gonna become another tourist trap. Too bad, because the food has always been great and the attitude was always real. But not it's turning into just another show. Hopefully it'll retain some of what it always was: http://www.trutv.com/shows/the-wieners-circle/index.html Nonetheless, it should make for an entertaining show.

So much more than just "Fuck You"; this is a solid album, top-to-bottom. Great, even.

If you listen to WXRT (and I know that you do), then yes you have:

The record that changed my life.

Just added it. Sorry that it took so long, but I am not over at that site so much anymore.

Okay, so it's not the actual collection, but a 10-track compilation culled from it. Still... it's pretty great.

Yeah. Thanks, Richard. Live in the studio, warts-and-all recording. (With a couple of minimal overdubs.)

I have not heard the kind of crossover appeal that Adele has in... forever. She is the only artist that I can think of that I hear played simultaneously on both the teenie-bopper pop station (B96 in Chicago) AND the adult alternative station (WXRT). So, while at first glance, it does seem surprising, upon further consideration, I can totally see it. Oh, and in case you are wondering, I do listen to B96 when my 10-year-old son is in the car.

You Am I... nice!

Just listened to the final masters of my new EP. I'll need to give it another couple of listens, on other systems, but the first listen sounds great. Not long until it's good to go.

So, they weren't waiting for me, but were just delivered to me as I was coming back from lunch. Gonna give it a listen shortly.
