Book Of The Year?

I don't think I've ever made a book recommendation on this blog before...probably because i can't read beyond a first grade level. Actually that probably explains why this book goes straight to the top of my list.  The writing is classic Mansbach prose with undertones of Conrad and Stein.

New Young Jesus Video Goodness

Check out Young Jesus's brand new video for Chicago Alone Pt. 2. Been digging these guys since we first shared a bill at Viaduct Theatre in Chicago in April of this year.

Good tune, good video, good band. Enjoy!

Six Corners BBQ Fest (Chicago, IL) - 6/18/2011

You know it's a good day when you're pulling monkey pubes off your back...that's what my parents always said.

In fact, the Six Corners BBQ Fest felt less like a show and more like a jungle by the end.

A little kid dressed up like a banana jumped on stage with his monkey friend and sang No Way Home with us...

Guess this is what summer is all about.

What a badass little banana kid!

We met a lot of cool folks at the first annual BBQ fest...

Including Lorence from ReactionArt who posted this vid over the weekend.




Thanks Lorence and all the other BBQ enthusiasts who partook in the good times this Saturday!

Cristal Poppin!

What a badass!

Making a point about players who stick with there team, much respect to Dirk.
