I wouldn't even think too many of Mike North's mouth breathing minions could read a book, other than a pop-up-book.

Now I'm no 90s music maven like you fellas, but the omission of Stabbing Westward is inexcusable.

It's not 'copacetic' with me whatsoever....

The Best Chicago Bands Since '90 (in Mac's Book of Chicago Lists):

5) Local H
4) Ministry
3) Kanye West
2) Wilco
1) Smashing Pumpkins

That must be on page 189. That #1 is The work of doug.

May want to get one of your peeps on getting this corrected. Or is this a Mac and Bernsie collaboration?

there are a few other errors....there's a word or two that doesn't belong when Mac is talking writing about the Bears lineman. I think the word "guard" is in a weird spot if I recall correctly.

the Allan Parsons project song for Bulls game intros is incorrectly referred to as "Eye in the Sky."
but, it's not. The song is actually called "Sirius."

We compiled the list on the board, there was a thread...and yes I picked the #1.
when was stabbing westwards last concert?

Any signings planned in the near future, Mac?

Yeah it opens up the joke machine for them, but I was being serious in asking.

_________________

I didn't know that bands had to be relevant in 2001 and touring.

I guess that would eliminate The Smashing Pumpkins and Local H too.

When a band is playing small venues around the suburbs of Chicago, with half their original lineup, I think there's a problem with your argument. ...and I'm talking about Local H, not ZWAN or what remains of the Smashing Pumpkins.

Im kind of confused. I answered a question of when Stabbing Westward's last show was. Are you ripping on them, or saying you like them? Either way I don't care, but your post really is confusing.

i think the book actually came with a button that you could "fucking push".

if everyone cared so much, you would have been more involved with the list.
