YAY!!!

Just made good on my donation. Feels good.

No Chicago?

I find out about these guys the same way that you are finding out about them: somebody told me. And, I don't think that these folks are major, necessarily, but they are damn good. Hope that you dig them like I am digging them.

I wouldn't say that I'm an expert. Not even close. But I do like to find new bands that have that favor. It just sounds so different from the usual fare that it's refreshing. And, when I find stuff like this, I like to share, just in case there is anyone else interested. Let me know if you grab any of this... what you think.

There is a treasure trove of free downloads of some pretty fantastic music from a cadre of new/current artists at these web sites: http://kikodinucci.com.br http://www.jucaramarcal.com/downloads http://www.passotorto.com.br/site/Downloads.html It's a collective or something, I think -- they all play on each other's records and they all make some pretty fantastic music.Just wanted to give the heads-up for anybody whop might be interested. I've downloaded quite a few, myself, and everything that I've picked up has been good to great. RIYL: Tom ZéBeto VillaresCaetano VelosoTimbaladaGal Costaetc.

I agree. But that isn't gonna stop me from taking advantage of the situation.

Lookie what I just found in the library Sale bin! Brand new... spine hadn't even been cracked!

Thanks for pinning the thread!

FLAVOR CHANNEL Unreleased and rare recordings from one of my favorite Chicago bands of the 1990s. They released one album, but really should have had more and should have made a bigger impact, even locally. I busted my ass trying to find these tracks, but persistence paid off and I got even more than I bargained for. A real treasure trove here. The sound is pretty all over the place, combining straight-up indie pop-rock a la The Smiths, with surf guitars, virtuosic stride piano solos, skronk jazz saxophones, and straight 4-on-the-floor punk piledriving rhythms—in any combination, on any given

I went to see a double bill: Stereolab/Tortoise at Lounge Ax. There were 2 shows that evening, as the bands took turns opening for each other for each one. I was going with a friend of mine who also loved Stereolab, but neither one of us had heard any Tortoise at that point. We were eating dinner across the street from the club and talking about how excited we were to see Stereolab for the first time. But, as we might wind up seeing them twice that evening, I really hoped that Tortoise just wouldn't suck, and I said so to my friend. He agreed with me and we talked about this topic for a couple

Possibly. I'm 46 years old. Was only there for a few shows when I was at Mizzou and SIUC. I was there in the Late 80s/Early 90s. You must remember The Unconscious, eh?
