While sitting here wondering what to talk about for my next post, the news was on in the background and the very touching story of "Joey's Song" came on, making the decision what to write about much easier. Just shy of his 5th birthday, Joseph Gomoll, who was afflicted with Dravet's Syndrome (a rare form of Epilepsy), passed away unexpectedly in March 2010. Shorty after, a foundation was set up by his family in his honor to raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation. Their goal, is to raise money that can be used for research, [...]
According the handy internet source for vaguely accurate information about all things important to its overwhelmingly male contributors , Valentine's Day originated with a Pope or Chaucer . In all events, it apparently started long before Zales, Hallmark or FTD got involved. I imagine the love song is just as old. There's no matching the soul greats like Al Green for straight love songs, but the love song can be a little more complicated than that. For those with an ear for a less conventional [...]
Like free music? Of course you do. Well then, you'll probably be excited to learn that the Chicago, alt-country focused imprint, Bloodshot Records , has released a Valentine's Day sampler, titled Lonely Hearts Valentine's Day Sampler , as a free download . The sampler features many Bloodshot Records' artists performing songs about, what else, love, and Chicago's own Robbie Fulks , who can be caught every Monday at the Hideout , Texas' Old 97s , Missouri's Ha Ha Tonka and more. Download Bloodshot Records' [...]
Robbie Fulks' Monday night residency at the Hideout takes an unexpected turn (if there's such a thing with Robbie) as he covers Chicago's very own Liz Phair . Robbie promises an Exile -heavy show but says that he will draw from other albums. "I think my favorite of hers, for reasons that are probably too personal to be strictly defensible, is Whitechocolatespaceegg ," he says, promising at least two songs from that album. Whitechocolate , the third album [...]

!["I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" [Wilco] by JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound - VIDEO](http://cdn.elbo.ws/youtube/ZK6VILyHVDE_130.jpg)
Not to frustrate anyone not living in the Chicago area, but I'd be remiss in not mentioning the amazing lineup at this year's annual "Letters to Santa" benefit run by Second City. In addition to performances by resident cast members and famous alumni of the comedy troupe, guest performers announced for the 24-hour charity event so far include JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound, Jeff Tweedy, Robbie Fulks, Bill Callahan, The Blisters, Steve Albini, and Danielson Famile on December 14. Pretty amazing . Notably, JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound have received a [...]

Robbie Fulks: Fountains of Wayne Hotline [ purchase ] Our transition song this week was released as a one-off single in 2005, making it a bit more recent than we usually go for. But it was supposedly recorded as a private joke a couple of years earlier and then shelved for a long while before fan pressure prompted its release, and the songcraft it parodies has certainly been around long enough to count. Full disclosure: I love Fountains of Wayne, especially 2003 [...]

Robbie Fulks : Cigarette State [ purchase ] The ninth wealthiest state in the union in terms of gross domestic product is North Carolina. They are the largest producer of tobacco in the United States. One of the six most important crops grown by American farmers, the plant is native to the Americas, though it is farmed on all continents except Antarctica. By 2005 tobacco represented 15.5% of the total value of all crops grown in North Carolina, but production has fallen 60% between 1997 and 2003. North Carolina has [...]
In its 13th year, the Chicago Folk and Roots Festival looks a lot different than the fest I discovered more than a decade ago. In the past few years the festival has taken on a decidedly more world music theme, which is interesting but becoming tiresome. Closing Sunday night is Etran Finatawa, a band from Niger. In 1999, in the fest's second season, I saw Steve Earle and a set from Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett. Robbie Fulks headlined [...]
Robbie Fulks gives Michael Jackson the full tribute treatment, and as so often is not the case with Mr. Fulks, this is (mostly) no joke. The arrangements are mostly countrypolitan, with a feeling of genuine warmth, and in the end, there are the songs, which are lay bare the talent of both Jackson and Fulks. While it can get a little too over-the-top (the hoedown of "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough", the clatttering noise of "Privacy"), the highlights (Black and White", "Ben" and especially "Mama's Pearl") are mile wide smiles of cover songs done right.

Great news for Robbie Fulks fans. He'll be doing another month-long residency at the Hideout in April, starting next Monday. There will be a different theme each week. A Robbie show is highly recommended and very entertaining, whether he's covering Michael Jackson or playing a little Georgia Hard . He's one of the reasons to live in Chicago. And even more good news: According to the Hideout's Web site, Chicago rock legends Eleventh Dream Day will be doing a residency in May. More on that later. [...]
Three rootin' tootin' reasons to head on over to the Hideout tonight... 1. It's Monday which, for the time being, means it's Robbie Fulks Monday. He owns that night at the Hideout and this week is no exception. If you've not heard but like good old fashioned country, country the way it used to be, full of dry wit and a big old f#@& you attitude then Robbie is your man. There's no winking here. Just honest to goodness countrified music through and through. [...]
A Robbie Fulks show can feature a lot of country twang, some pop (think Let's Kill Saturday Night ) and a healthy dose of Michael Jackson . I've witnessed Robbie put a fake rat down his pants during a rendition of Ben . Needless to say, a Robbie Fulks show is always entertaining. Starting Monday, he begins a month-long residency at the Hideout , playing every week. On his Web site, he says he'll give you a hint of what to expect prior to each show. This Monday: "We'll be focusing on [...]
Man oh man, this Robbie Fulks Michael Jackson tribute album is getting more awesome and more crazy with every new detail. Now, we find out that Steve Albini's noisy three-piece Shellac plays on it: Shellac is a magnificent punk band...

Consequence Of SoundIf you have followed some of the articles I have written on this fair website, then you know that I have a bit of an affinity for country music. It's blasphemy, I know. Most people think country music is a twangy hell only reserved for the worst of society, but well…get over it. That's all I can say. I do have a distinction as far as country music is concerned. I have a cut-off when it comes to most popular country music. Older country is of course the best, and I stay away from anything post-1995. However, there [...]
