Somehow I managed to miss The Silos down at SXSW, but managed to run into Walter Salas-Humara on the street and lip-jack him for a good ten minutes about the new record, his visual art and collaborating with the equally legendary (and underappreciated) Jon Langford. The second single from Florizona , Teenage Prayer is yet another razor-sharp slice of rock from Walter and the boys, and just another reason why Florizona should not leave your car this summer, lest an impromptu [...]

Generally speaking, I don't like to mix business with pleasure. This is mostly because I like to give all of my attention to the task in front of me. If it's business time , then I make sure I handle my business. Likewise, if it's time to party, then I want to know that all of my business has been handled so that I don't have any responsibilities holding me back when I go on a wild, booze fueled rock n roll adventure that rages on into the early morning hours. Of course, that is generally speaking. [...]

...if yr looking to start yr weekend off a little early this week, we recommend you head over to Canal Street Tavern tonight for what looks like a great night of music. On tour from NYC, The Teenage Prayers and Brother George [from Chicago] serve up quality doses of blue-eyed soul that we can only speculate deliver the type of live rock n' roll catharsis that we so dearly love around here. The Teenage Prayers are out in support of their latest disc, Everyone Thinks You're the Best , [...]

Photo by Nina Berman Art For Obama Someone asked me a few weeks ago why I was voting for Obama. Simply, I put it like this: He envisions the kind of future that I want for my kids. There's been lots of talk about change by both candidates and lets face it: regardless who you may vote for, either candidates chances of getting to any significant change in the first couple years is going to be challenging. The immediate consequences of change under Obama will be social, cultural and historical - [...]

sup, peoples? tis beautiful here in chicago and the waits show was pretty awesome. although, the space was a wee bit stuffy and the seats were less than comfortable, but that didnt take away from the awesomeness of the show. say hi to selene, she is going to be contributing to captains dead when the spirit moves her and will hopefully become a regular contributor - i just have to find a way to not piss her off. few things about selene: she likes cats, starting fires, spam email, howard the duck, proper punctuation, the hovaround, george stephanopolous, [...]

It seems that not a week goes by that we don't get some fantastic new piece of pop music from Sweden. The nation has been filling our indie airwaves with their lush pop music for what seems like years now, and last week we got the latest from them in the form of The LK vs. the Snow, and album from a Swedish two-piece known as The LK. It's a solid debut album with that trademarked Swedish sound of
