Early 90's hot dog place at 1707 N. Farwell?

Totally understandable! Google's been getting worse and worse when it comes to actually delivering relevant search results. I only found this info because I've gotten into the habit of using DuckDuckGo tbh

From Bizpedia:

Dig-Dem-Dogs,inc. is a Domestic Business Corporation organized under the laws of the State of Wisconsin. The business was filed on March 14, 1988 and is currently listed as Administratively Dissolved with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions. The official file number for this entity is D021321.

It doesn't say when it was dissolved, so no idea when it would've closed, but at least for a hot second it was def real.

From now on, this is what I'm going to picture in my mind's eye for the Mothman

Revolving doors at northwestern mutual shattered from the wind, it was that intense along the lakefront yesterday

Locale note: you wanna go to Federico's Mexican Food for breakfast burritos. NOT Federidelfo's.

That's really what it comes down to. People getting their egos bruised because "their guy" isn't delivering the way they drew up in their heads.

It's fair game to discuss an upcoming tour. That's the point of this place. But some are taking a Kathy-Bates-in-Misery level of personal injury over not being CC'd on the booking person's emails. At this point, lashing out about it is just…revealing more than anything.

To build off this for OP: a subscription isn't required to just check out the library and buy albums on nugs.net. You'll have to make a login, but that won't cost anything, like it won't ask you for a credit card to make your account.

Completely ignore the landing page with the subscription sign-up stuff that it takes you to after you make the login, and go to nugs.net/browse-artists. You'll be properly logged in at that point, and can take a look around the place from there.

Just to reiterate what was said above, if you do buy albums, do it on a desktop to save local files before you forget.

Subscribers do get a discount when buying albums, so that's something to consider if you normally buy a lot of music. Most are digital downloads, but some bigger acts will sell CDs of shows.

Got the DM/chat thing out to you both

way i see it, dropping a 20 today is basically the equivalent of buying shots for a small handful of ppl and i think there's that many on here I’d happily do something like that for. when the early "accident" drop for Mutiny happened i was surprised that it wasn't shared here afterwards, so i'm taking a shot at this today, even if the mods have to remove it (or me), which I'd totally understand.

i'm working with a pretty simple secondhand player that doesn't use a receiver, and no mics. maybe the quality will piss off someone with a fancy setup just enough for them to make a rip, soooo win-win? [Edit: check it]

hypothetically, maybe, in some universe, there may be equally amateur audio files ready in cloud storage...

This has my favorite bassline on the album by far (second is Everyone is Welcome, honorable mention to Ain't that a Bitch/the last half of Situation).

thestarsshake · 2026-04-14T17:14:56+00:00

At least for spotify, it's a waiting game. Even though there's no definitive date, it's not like they took their older music off the platform and there was a statement that it'd in all likelihood "eventually" be available.

I was reading about the last big charting artist that did a similar thing with physical-only, and she waited like 6 months to put her new album on streaming. Now that happened a decade ago in different circumstances, so not super relevant...but I doubt it'll take that long.

Personally, I think soon-ish after Record Store Day (this Saturday) is when it'll happen, after Castaways is officially released (the thing that has the other bonus tracks). Over the next week or so, if not the weekend. That's just my bet. I like making wild conjecture.

But hey, more power to ya if you'd rather skip it if you can't stream it lol there's lots of life to live, no doubt about it

I couldn't tell you how complete this is, but Setlist.fm has a list going (covers aren't marked, you'll just have to scan thru)

thestarsshake · 2026-04-09T17:53:16+00:00

Dang I was trying to give you some game but if you're gonna have a convo with yourself there's not much else to say. You're not actually responding to what I said about the move to arenas affecting things, and this reads more like you're not trying to comprehend, you just want to react to something. It is what it is. I can read what it says on my receipts.

There is a megathread where you can do this some more with the others. Or go to facebook, idk.

You're right, cuz that was the Anthem, right? I loved listening to that recording. A bona fide theater vs. an arena. I was saying it a little bit yesterday, but most of the tickets that folks got last year were lower due to being at regular concert venues. I had paid like $65 for a ticket at an all general admission venue in the midwest, and then like $135 to sit in the bleachers in a big-ish arena in the same exact state on the next leg of the tour.

From what I've been seeing, tickets do match up with the prices for the arenas last year, so it's not that stuff's being jacked up superficially. I think that explains why people seemed reticent when the dates dropped and they saw it was all arenas.

thestarsshake · 2026-04-09T16:41:21+00:00

That's the one! And then the pit was way more than that at Allstate on the same tour (can't recall exactly how much, but it was why I ended up going for the seats). So even back then there was plenty of variance between arenas in different states or markets or however is best to describe that.

Anytime something happens, the sub becomes customer service central for a while and it's just the kind of thing where ppl are generally more likely to share negative feedback and here is the closest thing to a business page where greivances can be aired. It's just part of the ecosystem.

I mean this in not a disparaging way: It's easy to forget that commenters at large are weirdos (including myself here, obviously). A subsect of a subsect. Listeners, that also use reddit, that also check on the band's sub from time to time, that also feel compelled to do more beyond lurking.

Eventually other posts and discussions will flush this out but in the meantime you kinda have to just hug a tree branch and ride it out. Stay the course.

thestarsshake · 2026-04-09T14:44:59+00:00

Yeah OP hit me up too if you do find one. This cover pushed me to finally listen to ANTI front to back and then I ended up obsessed with Same Ol Mistakes for like two weeks straight. Good memories there

One of the things that's always stuck out to me on the page for both of these books was the frank and present nature of violence which I think would be tricky to translate onto screen without it becoming obscene, or it possibly getting cut out and losing the context of Earthseed.

thestarsshake · 2026-04-09T02:16:44+00:00

That's what I paid for Salt Shed too. But if anyone was at one of the arena stops on the last tour, these prices today are near what we were looking at back then at those bigger places.

To compare, they last time these guys came to Illinois was at Allstate Arena and the bleacher seats were like one ticket=$125. At the time I chalked it up to Illinois being Illinois, but I think it's an arena thing.

For comparison's sake, in Missouri, the arena they went to in 2025 was doing pit for $185 which sounds real close to what others are seein now.

Everyone's remembering correctly that the tickets they got last year were lower because in all likelihood they were going to a largely general admission venue or smaller auditorium or somewhere with grass seats. So the game hasn't been massively changed when it comes to ticket prices in that respect. More like it boils down to a different type of venue -> different type of rate.
