Chicago MMXII

How did you know!?

I've seen your vinyl copy of Swamp Ophelia hidden in the sleeve of a Brontzmann LP.

Brötzmann, king of night vision/king of insight

I still can't believe this list.

haha, that is pretty awesome LL,
though really
can we expect tony sarabian
to have excellent taste in music?

i do! he hosts the world music show, doesn't he?

i thought he would have better taste in space jams, i guess

BY THE WAY -- dr aj -- have you heard alexander tucker? if not, i can almost guarantee you would like him.

No, the name is not even familiar! But as per I trust your aesthetic judgments I will listen to that as soon as I am able i.e. when I am not sitting at the reference desk

He's Wyatty in combining melody and weird out-there shit, has a new album out, which I haven't heard because I impulse ordered it after listening to the album that starts with that song ^^. Not to overhype, but you'll like it.

hey, do you dig colin stetson? He is coming to chicago and I am excited.

I completely hate the new direction of 848. S@r@bi@ is a shitty host and it seems like all the more in depth news stuff they used to do has been replaced with shitty music.

ooh when!? would go!

also yes, dan m i TOTALLY agree with you -- it's suddenly like the red eye. they had an in-depth story the other day about standing in line to get into a restaurant. they used to talk about juveniles trapped in the criminal justice system and actual local issues. blech.

i guess actual reporting costs money. that's sad if that's the reason why it got all floofy without much warning.

nm - i googled it
also, had no idea he was a total bohunk?!

stetson is playing june 23rd at schubas, tix on sale tomorrow

and it's on a Saturday so I feel like I have no old-man reasons not to go

well i will go too
i like frank rosaly too

too

also i will say that as far as local media goes, love this cover!

Jenny, I have your marmite in my bag but I'm not checking any luggage so I really hope it doesn't count as a liquid and get confiscated!!

also, had no idea he was a total bohunk?!

S@r@bi@? He's attractive, but his teeth are pretty fucked up.

As to the space jams, maybe this is super-duper obvious (and if so, I apologize), but I think the songs they posted were pop songs that were about outer space, rather than like trancey spaced-out mood music.

I thought about going to see that Colin Stetson show, too -- if you guys are going, then I definitely will.

i think she was talking about colin stetson being a bohunk

Ha. Well, nm then.

Looks kinda like a jarhead here (no judgment):

June 23, btw, will be the 23rd anniversary of the release of the first Tim Burton Batman movie. My family went to see the Cubs play the Expos that day and sat in the bleachers behind Andre Dawson.

Sorry jenny, they made me throw it away :(

That picture doesn't illustrate his full hunkitude (arms) but yeah. I have no idea what Tony looks like. On the grizzlier side, Alexander Tucker is also rather easy on the eyes...(attn CARL)

RIP marmite and whatever animal died for that pelt

Thought that was scott seward.

Also even if they were posting pop songs, where's "Silver Machine"!? Surely that is quintessential space jam. Also they called them "space jams" which means, to me, JAMZ.

lol @ how i came in this thread earlier today and was basically like p.s. you guys i've met t0ny s@r@b!a

Also they called them "space jams" which means, to me, JAMZ.

nah, jamz these days means just tunes. viz. thisismyjam.com where i recently shared a new (2012) dr. john tune i'm fond of. "space jam" chosen presumably w/connection to michael jordan/warner bros. movie.

well, ok, but i still think the list sucks

I loved Space Jam.

best space jam jam

gonna finally check out native foods, the new veggie restaurant in the loop, for lunch today if anyone cares to join me. if not i'll just read.

Ooh, I would like to check that place out, too. Today's not the day, though.

native foods review: ordering process was kind of annoying - they wanted to explain vegan foods to me, then i had to give my email for a loyalty card, then they kind of tricked me into ordering extra food (asked if i wanted fries, i assumed it was a free side with my entree but it was actually extra) - but the food was good. i had a "bacon cheeseburger" that was more of a seitan sandwich and sweet potato fries. i am stuffed.

i'll have to try that place sometime, but i'll be wary when ordering. did you have to get the loyalty card?

i probably could have refused but she took my email down wrong anyways so i'm not going to be getting any spam from them

also: kinda pricy (about $15 for the sandwich and fries and tip, plus a free iced tea for being a first-time customer) but you get a good amount of food. i probably should have taken some of it home with me because i'm stuffed now.

I enjoyed some of this weekend's weather. How about you?

Yes! Thunder by night, no rain by fay is a perfect combo.

Rain the new scent, by Fay

On Saturday I saw a poster in the window of a convenience store for a band called DEEP FAYED.

I liked the weather this weekend. But had a sort of subpar run on Sunday. Not acclimated to the warmer weather yet.

i def liked sleeping with the window open last night and hearing the thunder and rain

is anyone besides me and sarah going to the cave show on saturday? amanda?

yup yup

i am trying to prep sarah for the late night, we went to a 10:30 pm movie on saturday

Chicago: Black Helicopters

imagine how much fun it would be to be flying one of those things through the city like that, with full permission!

imagine the conversations they must have!?
