ein zufall? mitnichten! auf lujo records bin ich durch eine email aufmerksam geworden. eine wenig anbiedernde promoagentur warb mit den neuesten auswürfen auf diesem label. und ich folgte ratsam. und es lohnte. dass ich einen schwung davon an Euch weitergebe, selbstredend. wenngleich mir so langsam die solonummer hier auf die nüsse geht. mein kollege oliver aus paris würde mich flugs wieder einnorden. aber der ist nun im urlaub, so dass ich vergnüglich vor mich hin klagen kann. denn es schwinden die kräfte und es mangelt zunehmend an motivation. so bastel ich mir weiterhin abziehbildchen für mein persönliches poesie- [...]
Moby announces Myth date, Toki Wright performs for The Current & Dan Wilson sits in on the "Hoot."
Baby Teeth, the wry, 70's inspired indie rock trio from Chicago have made their mark with their brand of organic Elton John meets Genesis meets Hall & Oates sound.

"Identity Theft" by All City Affairs is a slick study in modern and contemporary music, taking cues from all genres including [...]

I just know what I like, and that's that. So, here's my list. These aren't in any order because I'm too indecisive to actually do that. I'm doing this in two parts because, well, that's what I feel like doing. Lindsey Buckingham , Under [...]
All City Affairs is Peter Andreadis, who spends much of his time playing drums for one of my favorite Chicago bands, Baby Teeth . I'm a bad fan, though, because I didn't know much about Peter's work outside of Baby Teeth until just recently when he and I were discussing All City Affairs before a Baby Teeth show . Now, normally, if a member of a band I love has a side or solo project, I'm ALL over that. I mean, I knew that Peter's bandmate, Jim Cooper, is also in The Detholz! , but I [...]
