Rev Dave and I attended the Throw Me The Statue show at Schuba’s this past Friday night, and for the most part it was pretty enjoyable. Aside from some not-so-funny-at-all and cliche-ridden Chicago-themed jokes that ended up taking up time that could have been used to play one more song or two, the Seattle-based band […]

I’ve been working on a big exhibition of Andy Warhol silkscreens, paintings and prints for the past three months, so I’ve been surrounded by images of Campbell’s Soup cans and Marilyn Monroe’s and Chairman Mao’s.
But how to tie this back to the rock, and more importantly Guitar Friday. The obvious idea would be to […]

Man, Stereogum sure does hate the way Rolling Stone does things. I guess you can’t blame them. Is Rolling Stone to Stereogum as Pitchfork is to RTP?

My preferred candidate officially throws his hat in the ring.
I’m just going to come clean, I have inhaled bags of ’shrooms. I haven’t done drugs for the past 20 years, to be really honest. I’ve smoked, [expletive], like six hits off a joint in the last 20 years. I have never done cocaine, ever in […]

My mother in law sent Wife Wifely and I a greeting card for the weekend.

Thank you Ireland. I love you. Start this weekend right with a little Irish Washerwoman on gii-TAR! natch.
