Compared to the Schuba’s show on Valentine’s Day 2007, this one was mediocre at best. Compared to nothing at all, it was great.
Steve from May Or May Not (Schuba’s residency this month, btw) got us nice chairs in the balcony, which made all the difference in the world.
Rev was there along with his buddy Joe […]

Hello all. First, thanks to the benevolent Benom for the invite to the RTP party. I’m all a-flutter.
Per some correspondence with RevDave today, I thought the following probably warranted a post. Phil Collins has been called many things. “Pop icon.” “Underrated drummer.” “Bald person.” “Phil.”

The good Reverend and I are going. Are you?!?!

Guy’s blog post about how to not hire via Craigslist is classic.

A fun backyard type cookout and down home musical jamboree at top three Chicago music venue (schuba’s, empty bottle (haters, commence hatin’)) the Hideout (you sporting your button, hipster?) this weekend. Beeee there!

There was a ton of Apple-related excitement today, but I think I need more time to digest the $200 iPhone price cut before I can make an unbiased post about it here.
I am super happy to point out, however, that RTP darling Feist is featured in Apple’s new commercial for the redesigned iPod nano. Check […]

PF Flyers is now producing music videos (?), and they’ve chosen a gem of a song to video: Menomena’s “Evil Bee.” Kudos to PF Flyers for refraining from splashing products all over the video, and kudos to Menomena for writing such a great song.
