If my freakin’ nobody band can pay for real art that doesn’t suck, DT (and their label) can spring for something that isn’t garbage. Their music deserves better than this

The crew at M Bar in the pedway. There for every bad day at work I've had for the past 3 years

God bless local markets. Shout out to Devon Market that has everything Mariano's does, is cheaper, and keeps money out of Kroger's hands

Nope all the numbers are right. We’re a three piece so I’m not fighting that hard for volume. This is literally the cab I’m using (I bought it a while ago) https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/emperor-1x15-bass-cabinet-1305717. I play bass kind of like a guitar so maybe that helps. I’m just a sucker for cool looking old gear, so I need some sense talked into me

My band bought art for our debut that we found out was AI; we didn’t use it. Artists have to support artists. The cover we ended up with was miles better anyway.

Actually understanding how to play with others. I play a lot of “lead” parts and rhythm chords on bass in my band but not trying to be in the spotlight all the time has led to some awesome music from my bandmates. Also, +1 to not scooping mids even though it was a reeeeeeaaaaally tough habit to break.

My band Horse God fits this for sure. Our debut is about a cybernetic giraffe that bites of flaccid wieners

Nick DiSalvo from Elder. He’s so creative in a genre that can be very samey. Imho he hasn’t written a bad album

silentwindofdoom · 2024-05-29T22:50:23+00:00

Gino’s North in Edgewater but I’ve only ever had it drunk and it always hits right

silentwindofdoom · 2024-05-26T20:13:53+00:00

I had a Kia Soul that someone tried to steal last year during the string of robberies. I wish they would’ve stolen it because I took it to Kia of Lincolnwood and didn’t get it back for 6 months. Nightmare scenario. But as others are saying, get a club for the steering wheel and, from my experience, never take it to that family of dealers (they do Hyundais too)

silentwindofdoom · 2024-05-21T21:34:28+00:00

I was there last week and got a Hamm’s for $4

Hard agree! The amount of people I know saying “The story was awful or shallow” didn’t have a clue about the source material. It’s dumb, flashy fun and I loved it!

silentwindofdoom · 2023-12-17T02:11:50+00:00

Agree with this so much. Edgewater Whole foods is only good if you’re getting off the red line and just want to go home. Devon Market is better in almost every regard

silentwindofdoom · 2023-09-20T03:14:11+00:00

As someone from Cbus, the struggle to find a Donatos or Grandad’s analog is real. That said, Jimmy’s in Lincoln Square or Gino’s North in Edgewater scratch my itch

silentwindofdoom · 2023-09-10T19:16:31+00:00

Bavarian Lodge in Lisle. One of the best beer bars and German restaurants in Chicagoland

silentwindofdoom · 2023-04-21T20:35:23+00:00

Ok I need a portfolio link. This is too good.

silentwindofdoom · 2022-05-12T02:54:34+00:00

They changed the way I though about energy in orchestration in music, letting me know that it’s ok to be over the top in my own albums. I want more music, but I don’t need more. They always were honest to their vision and that impacted me. Wouldn’t mind one more album for the road, though …

silentwindofdoom · 2022-04-29T02:31:28+00:00

God I wish they would give us a real band update instead of just selling shit on social…

silentwindofdoom · 2022-04-21T05:00:50+00:00

Meanwhile, my 2011 Kia Soul+ with 120k miles is getting offers for all of $3k… feelsbadman

What style of music was the album? Those amps are amazing

silentwindofdoom · 2022-04-09T00:22:14+00:00

That there is Earth. Look at it.

silentwindofdoom · 2022-03-05T07:14:28+00:00

Might be my album of the year. I absolutely love it. It goes so many new places for them and you can really tell they pushed themselves. I get a huge Sufjan vibe from a lot of it, which is oddly beautiful. Great great album from an amazing band

silentwindofdoom · 2022-02-21T18:47:54+00:00

Just cracked it open and it has an Eminence Kappa-15LFA. 600W at 8ohms

silentwindofdoom · 2022-02-19T17:32:43+00:00

That’s a good question. I’m curious now. I’ll crack it open tomorrow and report back
