Just got back from Against Me! at Durty Nellies. Apparently it was an all ages show so no alcohol sales inside the show. What the fuck? Against Me! is really good though. Heard most of the stuff I wanted to hear. |

Went to the first two of Wilco's four night run at Chicago Theatre. Good stuff, although last time they did their Winterlude run (at the Riv) I don't remember there being as many repeats*. Probably going on Sunday as well- hopefully they diversify their funds. Tonight's show will be broadcast on XRT at 9 (I think). 2/22 ----------------------------- Ashes Of American Flags If I Ever Was A Child* Cry All Day* I Am Trying To Break Your Heart Art Of Almost Pickled Ginger* Misunderstood* Someone To Lose* Pot Kettle Black Via Chicago Bull Black Nova Reservations* Impossible Germany* We Aren't The World* Box Full Of Letters Heavy Metal Drummer I'm The Man Who Loves You* Hummingbird* The Late Greats* ------------------------------ Random Name Generator Jesus, etc.* Locator* Spiders* ----------------------------- California Stars 2/23 --------------------------- Normal American Kids If I Ever Was A Child* Cry All Day* Radio Cure Company In My Back The Joke Explained Misunderstood* Someone To Lose* At Least That's What You Said Reservations* Impossible Germany* Either Way We Aren't The World* Forget The Flowers Jesus, etc.* Locator* Dawned On Me Theologians I'm The Man Who Loves You* Hummingbird* The Late Greats* ---------------------------------- War On War Pickled Ginger* Red-Eyed and Blue I Got You Outtasite (Outta Mind) ---------------------------------- Spiders* |

Wife wants me to take to her to see 311 this summer. I have some friends from MN that are going to tour this summer/spring. Devata Daun and C. Kostra. Wife is seeing Billy Joel at Wrigley Field with her niece, brother, and sis-in law. I'm waiting for Tool to tour. Other than that, it will likely be a light summer for me. |

Personally , I thought the sound was awful. Way too much bass, vocals sounded really muddled I doubt that most of the crowd knew that el-p was in a group before run the jewels (young crowd,even for a 18+ show) and a rum and coke should never be $14 but mostly the sound really sucked |

Dreadnaught847 wrote: Was at japandroids last Wednesday, very good Run the jewels last Friday sucked out loud Went to both of these also, and I agree with both assessments. Japandroids were great. Awesome energy. RTJ played for maybe an hour and five minutes. They cut off a few of their songs part way through, they've been better when I've seen them before. The openers were terrible. The Aragon was it's typical self: bad sound, oversold. And it was probably 90% male, so the lines for the bathroom and beer were well beyond manageable. Took us probably a half hour to get out of there after the show. Pitchfork lineup announced tomorrow. I'd be stunned of the lineup doesn't include PJ Harvey, Angel Olsen, Solange and Pinegrove for sure. Those seem like locks. Lots of people are saying Tribe and LCD sound system, but those seem huge for Pitchfork. Especially after the disastrous lineup they had last year. I could see maybe one of those, but not both. I'd be thrilled if it happened though. |

Stay tuned for the triumphant return of Hazardous Youth. Thirty years in the making. Had I known we would be playing in 2017 I would have named the band something different. |

Any of our Southwest boondocks members want to see a cool show this Friday? Ike Reilly is playing the Uptown Grille in LaSalle Illinois. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ ... 0172392251 I just spoke with him at Mickey Finn's in Libertyville. He said he's not quite sure what to expect from the locals... Get out there and show him some support! |

One of the songs has an unorthodox chord structure. We were running through it and Timmy stopped us and said, "The A-sharp is all wrong. It doesn't make any sense." I said, "You wrote the song." And he said, "Yeah, but that was 35 years ago. I didn't know what I was doing and I could hardly play guitar." He wanted to change it but I said, "It is what it is, fuckin' punk rock!"

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at the Auditorium in June. Only been there once, for Tom Waits. I sat in the upper, upper, upper balcony for that one. For this, I splurged for the upper balcony. Probably would be closer if they played at Guaranteed Rate Field and sat in the upper tank. Fuck festivals now and forever. Oh hey, Super Furry Animals are reuniting and touring the Midwest. Medium-sized theaters, great! Oh, their Chicago date is at Pitchfork. Fuck. |
