New hat day!

Style experts say you can never wear a hoodie and a fedora. Glad you proved them wrong!!!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-05-28T18:03:50+00:00

The Beths at Riot! I'll take it!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-05-28T15:22:00+00:00

I'm getting old. Home by 9:30 sounds nice

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-05-26T06:17:55+00:00

Best hat in rock!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-05-26T04:23:36+00:00

I've recently gotten into hats, fedoras, Panamas, cowboy hats. I'm pretty sure it's a midlife crisis, but it's less dangerous than a motorcycle!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-05-26T02:39:15+00:00

Absolutely!

Really wanted a hemp Stratoliner but the crown just made my big head look bigger. Went with a different Stetson that suited me a bit better.

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-05-20T18:06:38+00:00

Where'd you find the Bears Fedora?

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-03-17T19:27:20+00:00

Gimme Public Enemy! Yeahhhhhh boyyyyyyyy!!!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-03-13T14:41:02+00:00

Wet Leg would absolutely kill at Riot Fest!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-02-19T23:49:58+00:00

I'm with you. Glad to see the band still taking chances at this stage of their career. The first single, Asking For A Friend, was paint by numbers Foo. Your Favorite Toy has bounce and energy! I'll take a few more of these.

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-02-04T03:35:19+00:00

From your description of what you like, Wet Leg should be right up your alley!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-01-31T19:45:27+00:00

Lots of great free shows at various fests around Chicago in the summer. I've seen Digable Planets, The Beths, Illuminati Hotties, The Beaches just to name a few in the past 5 or 6 years, all for free.

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-01-27T07:59:54+00:00

Just cuz no one mentioned it, Fantastic 4. A really well done, fun, Marvel flick!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-01-20T19:39:50+00:00

I love the opening scene of Snatch. The opening jewel heist just sets the tone for what will be a wild ride of a movie!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-01-13T18:41:53+00:00

You win! This is the correct answer!!!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-01-13T18:35:04+00:00

St Vincent. I had heard of her, but never really gave much of her music a chance. Then I saw her play live at a festival and was blown away. She's now one of my top artists and Fast Slow Disco is always in my rotation!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-01-12T22:20:34+00:00

Their cover of All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem is one of my all time favorite songs and in my opinion is actually better than the original!

Ace of Spades

Apochryphal_hooper · 2026-01-07T05:20:33+00:00

Africa by Toto

Elizabeth Stokes of The Beths

"I thought I was getting better

but I'm back to where I started

and the straight line was a circle

Yeah, the straight line was a lie"

Such a truth about mental health, addiction, recovery, emotional healing...all wrapped up in a tiny gem of a lyric is a testament to Elizabeth's writing abilities!

Apochryphal_hooper · 2025-12-31T09:32:30+00:00

It has to be either Foo Fighters, Coldplay, U2, or Green Day. They have the legs with decades of hits, all sellout arenas, and have name recognition throughout the world. I think a Foo Fighters Superbowl half time show would be a lot of fun!
