So Maybe We Will Play Chicago One More Time This Summer...

You couldn't keep us away. We tried to just focus on writing, and doing the occasional road trip this summer, but alas you Chicago folk proved far too irresistible.

We're jumping on a bill last minute to perform with Greek Fire and our good friends Model Stranger next Friday, August 20 at the Cubby Bear Wrigleyville (1059 W Addison Street).

Bring your dancing shoes bitches!

Who I Should Not Have Missed at Lollapolooza...

Saw tons of great bands at Lollapolooza this weekend (Spoon, Arcade Fire, Yeasayer,  Cut Copy, Grizzly Bear, Phoenix just to name a few) But everywhere I went I kept hearing about the one band I absolutely SHOULD HAVE seen...

Watched some vids on YouTube today and can say I very much regret missing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.



Heard rumors they might be headlining the Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Festival. Think I just mentally bought a ticket.

Here's another, there is something kind of magical about them.

A Beavis and Butthead Classic

Found this on a Facebook post by Kris Murphy, a good friend we get to see whenever we travel out Indianapolis way. It brought me back to junior high... man did I love this show. This clip was especially etched into my memory.



On another note. It's a great weekend to love music and live in Chicago is it not?

My Inner Toddler Calls It Quits

My inner toddler finally gave up on me today ever since he found out that apparently "scientists" have determined that the Triceratops was a not a real species of dinosaur.  Who was battling the T-Rex in all those movies?  I guess neither of us will ever know...anyway.  You can read it here...http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/02/triceratops-was-juvenile_n_667475.html, but the basic gist of it goes like this...

Scientists now say that triceratops is merely the juvenile form of torosaurus. As the animal aged, its horns changed shape and orientation and its frill became longer, thinner and less jagged. Finally it became fenestrated, producing the classic torosaurus form.

So just to recap: The triceratops...not a real dinosaur species.

Pluto is not a planet

And O.J. never killed anyone.

Damn you science...you did it again.
