Lollapalooza Day 2
Day 2 is what my partner in crime called Concert Day. This was our day that we actually enjoy as many shows as possible being the perfect balance between being not drunk enough and black out wasted. The day started with Does it Offend You, Yeah? as I’ve heard oh so much about them. Once [...]

Lollapalooza 2008
Had I not won tickets to the lollapalooza festival in Chicago, I would not have been in attendance, but as it stands I not only got tickets, but I got free entry to the highly exclusive Lolla Lounge. Free beer (bud/budlight, though who am i to complain about free beer, let alone free anything), [...]

It was either that headline or “Don’t See IronMan Less High Than You Would Go To See Harold and Kumar.”

People will do as much as they can to save the earth as long [...]

The media notorious for thrashing everything thrown on it’s plate with verbosity and grace has opted for a medium with some volume. It is the next in the evolutionary process.

Hip Hop Shows – An Analysis
Del the Funky Homosapien graced the presence of the Nightclub 930 this evening in a performance that can be described as, “Was anyone else surprised that an actual PERSON came on stage instead of an animated ghost cyber-monkey?” The show was entertaining for the 300 or so people that managed to [...]

Long winded. That from a jam-band guy.
Plants and Animal’s album, “Parc Avenue,” their first full length-album following two EP’s, was released in 2007 off Secret City Records. Allmusic.com describes it as “genre-jumping,” I’d say it a stone cold stable, rock-light genre with variant speeds. And it would be good, REALLY good, if [...]

The Apes 2/29/08 Black Cat
I did not want to go to The Apes CD release party. I particularly did not want to stay after I heard opening act Kid Congo Powers. But The Apes really did blow me away. In due time, let’s start at the beginning.
