So should "Wolves, Lower".

Just bought this one for $0.01: Cornershop - Handcream For A Generation

I think that CT also backed Roy Wood on a tour he did a few years back. Damn I wish that I had been there.

Here are a couple of things that were a part of the (10-course) tasting: •nichols farm squash blossoms, housemade salt cod brandade, roasted eggplant, herbs, arugula •fried soft shell crab, local wood-grilled green beans, nichols farm sweet corn, pickled hot pepper vinaigrette, roasted tomato mayonnaise •nathan’s charcuterie plate: mortadella, country paté, bresaola, local greens, pickled local beets, plum and pinot noir jam, red wine vinaigrette •heirloom tomato panzanella: tomato jam, lomo, heirloom tomatoes, rustic croutons, aged sherry vinegar, manley’s feta, fried sweet onions

I am a huge fan of The Move, and Roy Wood, in particular. I am looking at picking up this box set: Any of y'all have it? Any other fans?

One of my favorite songs. And, the lyrics are certainly better than anything Jim Morrison penned: The silent night has turned to a night of fear With windows howling wind into your ear You listen to the spirits far behind These things you hear are too much for your mind The bell strikes and your spine chills like the grave The chill that turns your blood from red to grey You know that with these things you see and hear The silent night has turned to a night of fear Image on your bedroom wall Shadows marching in the hall Just about to flip your mind Just about to trip your mind Just about

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up Yumm! Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up Yumm! In the morning, laughing happy fish heads In the evening, floating in the soup Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up Yumm! Ask a fish head anything you want to They won't answer, they cant talk Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up Yumm! I took a fish head out to see a movie, Didn't have to pay to get it in Fish head

Went there yesterday, with no intention of buying anything. Just went to kill some time. Left with a book for Sharon, a comic book for Ethan, a CD for Cary, and Season 1 of SCTV on DVD for the family. Bless that store to hell.

I got a phone call from my one friend who works there at 1:00 on Friday: he was let go. So, even though my other friend is still there, it just didn't feel right, so we cancelled our reservations for that evening. We wound up here instead: VIE Had a 7-course chef's tasting that was pretty outstanding. A 3-hour meal is a nice thing to enjoy every now and then. And, as the restaurant is in a sleepy little suburb, we didn't have to pay for parking and all that. Hell, we could've walked there, if we didn't want to go out for a little while longer after the meal. One of these days, we'll get

EAT THEM UP, YUM!

I know. This is me (in the video): http://www.checkplease.tv/ViewRestaurant.aspx?restaurant_id=395

Been there many times. Usually for lunch -- Bento box. I live nearby, too. But work far, far away. If you haven't been there, by all means, check it out. We're addicted to the mango smoothies w/ pearl tapioca, too.

Yep.

It's really like a food court, but with only Asian stores. The Yu-Ton Dumplings are the best. Oh, and I am usually the only non-Asian there. A good sign. I love this place! The International Mall in Westmont Awesome.

Here's what AllMusic.com said: With a review like that, I could just not resist. I ordered it from Amazon today and will be awaiting its arrival with bated breath. Who here has heard this? The combo of Cocker and Steve Albini? Awesome. Tell me how cool this is! Or, you know, just talk about the record or whatever. I don't have his first solo album either. How's that one?

The Gothic Archies - The New Despair My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything Jason Isbell - Sirens of the Ditch Sylvain Sylvain & The Ciminals - Bowery Butterflies D'Angelo - Voodoo

Not much in the culinary world is more sensuous than a grilled polipo (octopus); the crisp, charred exterior; the snap; and then the musky aroma, as you chew. Seriously. I freaking love it. EDIT: And the chef is not only a friend of mine, but we used to be roommates, right out of college. I was waiting tables during my job search, and he was in culinary school, working at a gourmet food shop. I'd come home, and he'd come ack from his job with fresh mussels that he'd steam in white wine, and serve with homemade marinara, a bottle of white wine (or a crisp, bright red), and a baguette, with go

I can't promise that I'll have any leftovers, but I can give you my name to drop at the door, if you go. (Remember, I have 2 good friends there -- one is the GM, and the other is the chef.) Deal? And thanks to any of you who may have voted already. This is Chicago! Vote again!!!

Figures. The Aragon is the worst venue in Chicago.

I hate doing this. But, seeing as how this damn thing is gonna turn into a popularity contest anyway, if you could go to these pages, put an "X" in the box next to each of my songs, and then go hit "SUBMIT VOTES" at the top of the page, that would be cool. My band is called: HOP ON POP My song "Ashes On the Water" is about 1/5 of the way down THIS PAGE. And my songs "Cary's Here" and "C'mon Angel" toward the bottom of THIS PAGE (they're right next to each other). That would be cool. And, all that. This is now the end of this embarrassing thread. I appreciate your help with this. Now

Just a single line here, but it's so powerful, that I think it's worth posting: "The only time that I say 'no' is when they ask me if I've had enough..." -"Cinderella Backstreet" (Peter Laughner)
