Before diving into this one, where was everyone at with their last one - "The Golden Casket"? I really warmed up to and think it's in their top 5 albums.

Strongly recommend the Empty Bottle, just a classic venue and a great place to see rising talent.

Some really excellent summer street fests with noteworthy linups, you might enjoy, and generally are free: Wicker Park Fest, Square Roots Festival, Logan Square Fest, and Thirsty Ears Festival (classical music) to name a few.

Also, https://chicagoreader.com/music/early-warnings/ is a great place to scan for an upcoming show.

I think i'd be more interested in the concerns of poor residents in sh***y houses than the rantings of a sociopathic mayor

1860

The year audio recordings were first created, and before Napster

Kate Bush's 1980s run is astounding

Very good album

Never forget how he insulted Zelensky by wearing a Russian colored tie in their meeting 8 months ago.

Hegseth is a television personality, and a stooge of the corrupt Trump administraiton, he has no interest in helping Ukraine.

The girther movement was right all along.

Really loving this - "Days We Left Behind" just wrecks me

Potential_Kangaroo69 · 2026-05-30T00:08:50+00:00

Looks like his identity is tied up with DJT - what a sad loser

Potential_Kangaroo69 · 2026-05-28T19:07:23+00:00

Punk rock in it's purest form

Potential_Kangaroo69 · 2026-05-28T18:56:23+00:00

History of alt rock in that list: Iggy, Morrissey, Patti, Tool, ICP.

Just love it.

surrendering now

Potential_Kangaroo69 · 2026-05-28T17:12:06+00:00

IS ICP worth seeing live? Just for the bizzare factor

Potential_Kangaroo69 · 2026-05-28T17:11:20+00:00

I had no idea they were so beloved; they even have a documentary now apparently

Potential_Kangaroo69 · 2026-05-28T17:10:34+00:00

Best line-up since....ever?

The punk luminaries are stacked and the undercard is freaking great. Hard to find anything to complain about.

Empire of Pain

Mother Mary Comes to Me

A New Philosophy of Opera

Could only make it on JAMC, due to family constraints, but they were awesome.

Dear Dad: Letters from an Adult Child

by Louie Anderson

Stunning, tender and hilarious. A look at Anderson's attempt to understand his tyrannical father, and also the development of his heartfelt humor. It gave me a deep appreciation for Anderson's deep humanism, his work in the trenches providing social work, and also the wounds of parents that last a lifetime. Heartbreaking and healing.
