Glad you had a great time! Where did you eat? What did you see? And what did Dave do? (besides overprice his records and stand there with his pupils on you acting like you are trying to rip him off, when he's the one with the overpriced reis…

Don't come to Hyde Park. It's a great neighborhood, lots of interesting history and whatnot (Riperton, Obama, Frank Lloyd, et al.), and the Smart Museum and the Renaissance Society always have something interesting (maybe the DuSable, too--I don't k…

Chicago Pizza has all the subtlety of the nagasaki bombing. As a form of advanced gastrointestinal warfare, it has its place, but I could probably live my life happily and never have it again. That said, Lou Malnati's is pretty much number one for …

For hotels: You might try the Ohio House. It's a little run down, but it's close to public transportation. Try priceline on some of those downtown hotels if you don't really care which one. You can usually get a good price that way. If you want …

Billy Mitchell cheated. Wiebe set the record with his son whining and yelling at him the whole time. As a parent, I can appreciate that level of focus.

Only one thing in this whole thread making me laugh (thanks bigstacks). Being inside writing a brief on a gorgeous early spring day in the showme state.

Not to sound like a cop hater, but I'd kind of appreciate it if you guys didn't go all soulstrut and turn this thread into an referendum on whether or not cops are cool. Let's just lock or delete it. I'm just not really in the mood to celebrate the…

Something seems fishy about that article. Are there really that many people in East Texas driving around with large amounts of cash? Who buys a restaurant with cash in the first place? Or did the cops simply stop everyone who rolled through and got …

This brazen act of police corruption should receive the swiftest and harshest condemnation available under the law. I'm glad to hear that the victim is bearing up ok under the circumstances, but this kind of victimization should NEVER happen in the…

Welcome to this world little miss dinka. You are a blessing for us all.

No matter what the situation is with insurance/alarm etc., folks should have some empathy at the very least. All these "serves 'em right" posts are f*ckin lame. Heard. Scoffing at someone else's tragedy, especially when that someone else release…

Chump collection yeah, I'm thinking the LAST thing I'd put up on here would be a list of all my records... naked reflections, "I'm a virgin," pretty much anything else...but a comprehensive list of my records UM NO Posting your collection is a o…

Excel is best for your raw data. If you want to upgrade to Access you can import the Excel data into Access, but you can't very easily go the other way. At least I couldn't.

But, here's a serious contender for adult life shaping: Antony & The Johnsons - I Am a Bird Now (Secretly Canadian, 2005)[/b] * * * I'm off to have a burger with JRoot. ~B The dude Bradley, who joined us later for the burger (you …

vs. IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE...but either way I'd want the lady in the frame in option 2 to watch us and shake that ruffle on her dress (or is that a scarf). (page me)

I don't have any of your old tracks, but it's nice to see you back here. I'm not here that often anymore, but I'm here right now. HOLLER. JRoot

I did a record show in Eugene today. I had 4 Blossom Dearie records on Capitol and Daffodil and the Ben Bagley one. Nobody looked at them twice. :cry The record scene in Eugene is weird. I get this feeling like nobody really knows what they're l…

My friend Geraldine first turned me on to Blossom Dearie in the late 90s. LATE PASS. And when she did, I was like all "ok, supper club cabaret big with the gay no thanks indie rock salute poseur" and stuff. EVEN LATER PASS. I haven't heard all he…

Great album. Even with the likely low sound quality on the most likely pirated Spanish reissue, it should still be a good record for listening to. I've found that sealed records are pretty hard to listen to, though.

LEONARD COHEN 1. True/False Film Festival this weekend. This is the best cultural event on our annual calendar and we've got the passes to prove it. If it is even one-tenth as awesome as it was last year, when I saw a film that changed the way I…

In other words, no. Bam doesn't post here anymore. (page me)

I think these are part of a whole Quannum run. They all have their own shoe and I believe all proceeds go to a charity. I'm not really feeling the shoes but I'm all for the idea. I can post pics and info later tonight. (Posting from iPhone-related…

These are great photographs. Thanks.

In our old place, we had a big two person style bath that we almost never used. It had the jacuzzi jets and everything, but it was so big that it would deplete the entire hot water tank before it was all the way full. We used this tub more once ou…

I listen to most records start to end. Sharon Jones - Naturally Curtis Mayfield - Curtis Live! The Simmons Family - Walking through the Rackensack Meadowlark Lemon - For My Children Cat Power - Moon Pix (this was a CD)

This kind of thing happens much too often. Needless loss of life. Very tragic.

The audio buildup in the studio carpet deafened my search engine one day and soulstrut emerged from the static. It took me about four months of lurking to post something. Someone clowned me, and then Raj wrote in. Oh yeah, and welcome to soulstru…
