Rushing out the door to watch some football and then see Reigning Sound tonight, so for now just a couple of pics from last night's Bottomless Pit show at the Hideout. They were, unsurprisingly, fantastic, though the set was far too short (45 minutes-ish). Hope this show portends more in the future.
Often overlooked but never without resolve, Mack 10's career has held steadfast even though he's never been the biggest dog in the yard. Never overextending his boundaries and ties with the bottomless revenue pit of Cash Money have lauded him job security in the face of a rapper recession. It's with those [gang] affiliations, Mack is able totraffic his ninth album, Soft White undetected, yet fairly unblemished. The title not only doubles for One O's paraphernalia possession of choice but also expands on the notion that the former Westside Connector [...]
Dirty Projectors Better late than never I suppose... This weekend, we're spotlighting tonight's Dirty Projectors show, Shrinebuilder and Chicago's own Bottomless Pit . But before we get to our picks for top weekend shows, a reminder: Loud Loop Radio will once again grace the intertubes tomorrow, Saturday, November 14, at 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. CST on Radio DePaul . We'll probably talk about The Pixies and other cool stuff. Joining me in the studio this Saturday will be Loud Loop contributor [...]
[ The Twilight Singers: There's Been An Accident ] The pit of melancholy was a bottomless one, and he was descending fast, falling further away from the good times. Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting
I think the first time I heard about Blue Scholars was in Spin Magazine or a similar publication. I recall the memory because I was reading a review of their album Bayani . The review that I read was highly favorable, and naturally I wanted to see what the hype was all about. Prior to buying the album, I had never really listened to any artists from Seattle. I mean I knew West Coast Hip-Hop was dope, just not this dope . Bayani is one of my favorite albums I've picked up over the last couple [...]
Ever wanted your bottomless pit of local music lore posted for posterity on the Internet? Folks, step right up.
and ill blow your speakers down! Airwolf with his throwback 80's graphics and figmented name makes you think he is straight out of France inside of an illuminous cave jamming with Breakbot, Savage, Fred Falke and Alan Braxe. Where he does actually come from is the bottomless pit of talent Australia! His music is what you would expect from such a visionary character like Airwolf, plenty of lifting and punchy beats layered with soft melodys, mixes of classic tunes like BMX and Grum and overall fun factor close to 9.5 Moulinex & Xinobi [...]
This season feels shorter and shorter each year; remember 2006, and now 2010. Lunar Testing Lab - Topaze Bay calm soundscapes to help settle a move closer to the beach, a soundtrack for a roadtrip to the west and a summer in the sun. the album, Seashore Blvd. , carries the vibe over eight tracks and is a key record [...]
For my entry in the macabre post of the month sweepstakes, it was 40 years ago tonight that Charles Manson sent four of his followers to Cielo Drive in Los Angeles to commit the gruesome murders that were supposed to lay the groundwork for his vision of Helter Skelter. As Manson interpreted it, Helter Skelter would be an apocalyptic war that would arise from tension over racial relations between blacks and whites. In his courtroom testimony, prosecution witness and Family hanger-on Paul Watkins explained how it would happen: "There would be some atrocious murders; that some of [...]
The first half of the 1970's is a bottomless pit of kick ass hard rock. Every month or so someone will turn me on to some band I've never heard of and it's always from before 1975. Not too long ago Racer wrote up a band called Toad . Never heard of them but checked it out and loved it. Bulletproof by Hard Stuff is my latest obsession. Last year I gave my friend Vinny a copy of Death Walks Behind You by Atomic Rooster . He loves Deep [...]
Oddly, I'm not really a fan of weekends as much as I used to be. I don't really get the whole buzz about long weekends either. Particularly when it is raining the entire time. Maybe it is because I don't toil away at a 9 to 5 job. While everyone else seemed to be freaking out what to do this long weekend - what are your plans, you must have plans, its the long weekend, you need a plan - it just kind of annoyed me a bit that it was one. In fact, I more or less live for [...]
It seems like forever since we all clambered aboard this music fueled contraption that takes us to such wondrous lands. If memory serves me right, last month's episode was somewhat abbreviated as most of my spare time was focused on a preparations for a Field Trip on the East Coast, and I couldn't go into great depth on some of the hidden gems lurking in the world of MySpace . So, now that I'm back in the saddle again (thank you for the screeching melody, Mr. Tyler,) and life is falling back into its normal routine, I've been able [...]
The surviving members of Silkworm , Andy Cohen and Tim Midgett, formed Bottomless Pit four years ago after the tragic car death of the band's drummer, Michael Dalquist. The band doesn't perform live often but it's playing a free show at Schubas Sunday night. The Poison Arrows open. Bottomless Pit has a somewhat similar sound to Silkworm: indie rock guitar, slow buildup with a heavy climax. It's a fuller band with two guitars, bass and drums. [...]
Historically in metal, a band's image is as (if not more) important as the music itself. From the band's name, to its garb, right down to the logo. Alice Cooper and KISS were better-known for what they looked like than the music they made (more true with the latter). When metal ruled in the late '70s and the '80s, it was all about image ... until it regressed to absurdity before finally getting smothered by the always-fashionable flannel shirt. The Me Decade is when the metal logo was truly birthed-a single, defining brand that [...]
When will Brooklyn stop churning out these wonderful indie rock groups, full of inventiveness, fun and oodles of originality? OK, Harlem Shakes don't have the oodles as say TV on the Radio, but they are very fun and very inventive, and whereas Technicolor Health their debut album won't set the world alight or have us critics pressing pause so we can stick in our headphone cans, they might just have us taking them for a drive in a VW Golf so we air-drum on the steering wheel. To do that whole 'comparing thing', they're a little bit Clap [...]
Bottomless Pit shouldn't even exist, but when a bizarre and tragic event took the life of Michael Dahlquist, drummer for the group Silkworm, in 2005, that treasure of a band appropriately folded and the remaining members (Andy Cohen and Tim Midgett) soon found their way back to the music in the form of Bottomless Pit. [...]
The world of lounge, exotica and easy listening is a bottomless pit, with an unfathomable amount of golden material buried under crap music every day. Who would have thought the talented Mexican pianist Pepe Jaramillo will one day be forgotten? These three songs are from his 1960 album South of the Border released only on vinyl. An absolute beauty with nary a bad song, including covers of Ernesto Lecuona 's Siboney and the mambo classic Sway among others. Pepe Jaramillo - The Breeze and I Pepe Jaramillo [...]
S ilkworm are one of those bands whose members I really, really feel like I owe an apology to. Despite having been a loyal Chicago-area music fan along with having seen their name up on various marquees and within the pages of the Chicago Reader during the second half of their existence, I never actually got around to listening to any of their releases until the aftermath of their very sad and very tragic demise. What makes it even more sad for myself, after having immersed myself within the wonders of records such as [...]
Bottomless Pit, "Dogtag" I hate to say it, but it's been a while since I've thought of the name Bottomless Pit . The band, which features Tim Midgett and Andy Cohen from the dearly-departed Silkworm (one of my favorite bands ever), formed in 2005 following the untimely death of Silkworm drummer Michael Dahlquist, and has since released two EPs and one LP. Since releasing the Congress EP early last year, however, the band has been pretty quiet. Anyway, my friend Matt emailed me this afternoon [...]
We're tight, you and me. We have a bond. And I can trust that if I tell you a secret, you'll keep it in confidence. Because I have something to say, and I'd hate for people to know. A few months back, I found myself in a conversation about Genesis (the band, not the book). Though my disdain for prog rock has been chronicled here, as an impressionable adolescent I was influenced by some older teens (who I mistakenly believed to be cool) and became a fan of the band. Through my high [...]
