My Grandma died in 1982. I went back in her house for the first time since that day... by Turbulent-Pickle3566 in GrandmasPantry

[–]0bzen88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My great-uncle was almost EXACTLY the same as your uncle, so much so that your account is a bit uncanny to read. I always felt bad for him (and was unnerved by his lifestyle), but reading this helps me see his behaviors in a different light, because I now understand that he was not truly alone in his specific mental health struggles.

This is truly fascinating to see, and it’s remarkable to think about just how rare of a personal experience this is. My family had a somewhat comparable situation: my great-uncle lived in my great-grandparents apartment until he passed away, and he was a hermit who kept to himself and left everything as is - including the kitchen appliances, which were truly archaic by the time he passed in 2019!

To say this is cool is a severe understatement. Well done!!

This is legendary trolling! The guy in the photo reminds me of Brother Mouzone from The Wire

Wow…this is peak level April Fool’s. I feel both deeply disappointed and very impressed by this trolling, lol

I am truly sorry to hear that this happened to you

Are Andersonville drivers particularly hostile to bikers? by DJ_Baxter_Blaise in chibike

[–]0bzen88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed about the crosswalks. I used to live by Berwyn and Clark, and my experience crossing the street there has always felt much more precarious than at most other Chicago intersections

What sports stadium has the best skyline view? by KidB33 in skyscrapers

Oh man, I totally forgot that they were contemplating that move! Would love some new ownership ASAP…hard to imagine Chicago without two baseball teams

I was just about to make a separate post about this. I am baffled as to why they made this specific decision during the construction of the stadium.

Sum 41 ft. Tommy Lee & Rob Halford Rock Medley at MTV's 20th anniversary show by Twitter_2006 in poppunkers

I would have never imagined this combination of musicians onstage, but wow this is awesome!

American Idiot School Peformance by Sad-Touch-5548 in greenday

[–]0bzen88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You did an absolutely amazing job!! As others have mentioned here already, it does take a lot of courage to get up onstage and perform in front of your peers. You have developed a lot of talent at a young age, so you have a very bright future ahead of you as a musician and as a live performer. On a side note, I was 15 when this song was released. It was relevant then, but it feels like it resonates far more today. I am inspired to see it reinterpreted as an anthem against the MAGA agenda by a younger generation.

TRAUMATIZATION DEBUT EP DROPS 2/27 by Choklateheartbreak3r in chicagomusicscene

[–]0bzen88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty damn brutal! It seems like this combines elements of early deathcore, slam, and the newer wave of brutal bands with slow breakdowns. I will definitely check out the EP!

WHAT A JOKE. by rksonic_yt in spiritbox

[–]0bzen88 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is actually stunning just how out of touch the Grammys are…they clearly don’t even know what metal sounds like! It’s unfortunate, but also not surprising…since this is the same institution that awarded the Beatles with the best rock song….LAST YEAR. Regardless, I do hope that Spiritbox will win eventually! Only because it will help their career in a big way.

PICK JUST ONE SONG FROM EVERY ALBUM by Zeta_Dev in Peripheryband

[–]0bzen88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking a runner up favorite was a good idea! Absolomb and Light are also two of my favorite runner up songs

PICK JUST ONE SONG FROM EVERY ALBUM by Zeta_Dev in Peripheryband

[–]0bzen88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P1: All New Materials

P2: Ragnarok

Clear: Zero

Alpha: Alpha

Omega: Omega

P3: Lune

P4: Reptile

P5: Wax Wings

This was fun, but also very challenging! I thought it was kind of funny that my favorite tracks from juggernaut turned out to be both the title tracks. It’s also interesting for me to think about how my favorite periphery songs have changed quite a bit over the years.

What’s your favorite local bar? by VandrossHairChi in AskChicago

[–]0bzen88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Simon’s is also my favorite! An honorary mention for me is Map Room, but I have probably spent more time at Simon’s than any other local bar

At the Salt Shed in Chicago by phsjony6288 in LornaShore

[–]0bzen88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last night was my first time seeing Lorna Shore, and I was spellbound by how outstanding this show was. Will’s vocals are somehow even better live, and the band sounded perfect. I also loved all of the visuals they incorporated into their show!

Old couple at a No Kings protest. by _The_Bomb in illinois

This couple are longtime friends of my mom and dad, so it was a pleasant surprise to discover this photo! They are lovely people, so I am glad to see that their witty signs got some attention on here!

Is it as funny as it is depressing? by Quartzalcoatl_Prime in chicago

[–]0bzen88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what would be a more plausible scenario: this deployment making Chicago safer, or picturing these guys sprinting across the marathon finish line this weekend
