  1. I've lived in Lincoln Square for 7 years. It's awesome. Lots of great restaurants and a handful of good record stores. It's gotten considerably more pricey since I moved in but you can still find good aprtments for a decent price. Logan Square is also cool and cheaper. Gets nicer all the time. It's on the Blue Line though. Some nice areas on the South Side too, don't forget. Hyde Park is great as are some areas around Rush hospital off of Roosevelt.
  2. Every known release of the Stone Roses' "Fools Gold" including the original "What the World is Waiting For" A-Side and several gold colored vinyl pressings.

  4. yeah, I mean, just because 70%+ of the population thinks it's a good idea despite the demonizing the GOP and religious right doesn't mean it should actually be ADDRESSED.
  5. I think it's mostly just an image projected by the media and perpetuated by conservative talkingheads who love to describe the Democratic party in disarray. Fact is, the Dems vote in blocks just as often as the Republicans. Sure, there's debate leading up to votes--as there should be--but the Democratic party is failry unified when comes down to voting. There's as much debate among minority (read: Centrist) Republican factions before votes as there is among the various factions of the Democratic party. Fact of the matter is it depends on party leadership as to what gets done and I think the Re
  6. Tell that to Lincoln Chaffee, Olivia Snowe, Orrin Hatch...
  7. Hmmmm, see JR's response to my asking about this: Sorry if this is a hassle for any of you guys.
  8. Sorry to see you guys are ahving trouble. I am having our manlook into it and he may re-up the files. Stay tuned.
  9. Download free music and get info on upcoming shows: http://www.riviera-sound.com RIVIERA RETURNS WITH LIVE SHOW IN CHICAGO Back from a three month hiatus, Riviera will headline a show at Subterranean in Chicago next month. We
  10. Thanks, again. I hope you get a mountain of CDs this Christmas! For some reason, sales in Europe have been really, really good. Especially Holland. Nice.
  11. Thanks for all the kind words, all. Let us know when you get your copies!
  12. Yep, giving this album a 100% money back guarantee is a really nice statement from MoM. Early reviews have been great. Thanks for checking it out.
  13. If any of y'all are interested and for those who don't know, Riviera's opened for Jeff Tweedy, Jay Farrar, Kraig Jarrett Johnson of the Jayhawks, Califone, Hem, Radar Brothers, Decibully... RIVIERA
  14. I like the Death Ships too. My review on GLONO says so. You, you, butt patter!
  15. NICE! Martyrs' has good food, actually. And just North of there (on Lincoln--the same street) is Lincoln Square with lots of good little resturants. You may have seen QWW open for Colin Meloy of the Decemberists. That was one of their very rare acoustic sets.
  16. Real fans ONLY listen to Empire Burlesque, posers.
  17. I do hope some of you will join us at Martyrs' in Chicago tomorrow night for the CD release party for our new album CAPITAL (stream it now). It's part of the Glorious Noise Black and Orange Ball celebrating five years online. Also on the bill: HEALTHY WHITE BABY QUASAR WUT WUT The album actually hits stores on November 21, but you can buy it early at the show.
  18. The party's THIS SATURDAY! Hope to see some of you there!
  19. Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of protesters who ended the Vietnam war. But I'm not an apologist for Cindy Sheehan. I'm neither a fan nor a detractor. I think she's genuine but sometimes taken advantage of by others who have less than genuine motives. The point is she's dedicated her life to making a statement. Statements do count.
  20. Except, of course, that she's campaigned for peace. Disagree with her tactics or her choice of associations (hello, Hugo Chavez!), but she has dedicated her life to campaigning for the end of a war she thinks is unjust.
  21. Response to get review copies has been great. Hopefully you'll see more press on this album. Thanks to everyone for your help.
  22. Well thanks, all. The street date for the album is November 21 and will be available worldwide through Carrot Top Distribution (CTD). Just ask your friendly record store to order it. It'll also be available through CDBaby, Amazon, and a number of other online stores as well as the usual digital distributors (iTunes, Napster, etc) But if you CAN make it to the show, you'll get it a MONTH early! WOW! And this show will blow the doors off all previous GLONO parties. We're spending all our cash reserves (well, almost) on the show and will have lots of entertainment in addition to the bands on
