PAT BUCHANAN LOVED BARACK OBAMA'S SPEECH! LOVED IT!!!! WTF!? It's like bizarro world. He got all fanboy, it's scary. Hey Big Sis, Thanks to You Tube, I got to hear/kinda see the NIN show you went to!

Dear Chris Nolan: PLEASE include Harley Quinn for the next Batman movie. PLEASE. Hardcore Bert and Ernie (You may want to turn this down if you're at work or around a little kid or something.)

Viv’s recent post and the whole “OMG true fans can’t be critical!” thread of the Chris Cornell post just got me thinking how much I appreciate the good humored obsessiveness of a good number of NIN fans, who are devoted, yet also smartasses! Here are people crazy enough to take time off of work to go on the NIN Google Earth Treasure Hunt for concert tix and signed free stuff. (Thanks for the

Attention Chris Cornell Fangirls! All the anonymous commenting in the world won't make me like his ass-tastic new single or his bad tan. Love it all you want, I don't have to! That's why it's the United States, and not Chris-Cornellistan, or something. Good night and good luck. Anyhoo... There's a new Franz Ferdinand single. I was like the last person to know. You Could Do So Much Better was

Reading about the behind the scenes drama at the DNC is WAY more interesting than watching it on TV.

I ended my imaginary, one sided love affair with you quite some time ago when your music started to COMPLETELY SUCK, but there was still affection, you know? There was Soundgarden at least, and I always had that to look fondly upon. Then, last week after an AWJ meeting, I stopped for gelato and while flipping through a magazine, found some glossy print ad with you hawking a Verizon cell phone,

Printers Ball was a bit of a disappointment yesterday. I didn't stay long because I had the show at the Vic to go to, but I made a quick stop in. I was disappointed by my disappointment at the ball, as I really wanted to see the MCA become its permanent home. Unlike previous years at Double Door and Hothouse where there was often not enough room and browsers were on top of each other, sometimes

This is not going to be a review of either Genghis Tron or The Faint - they both kicked ass, I assure you. Instead, this is going to be a review of the third band on last night's bill at the Vic - Jaguar Love. This band provided me with 45 minutes of excruciating aural torture. 45 minutes I cannot get back. For reasons I don't understand, the Chicago Reader mentioned this band as the "must-see"

This is pretty funny. I personally don't have a problem understanding Christian Bale's Batman voice in The Dark Knight, but others do. This video is clearly in honor of those folks.

TV on the Radio has a new album out next month. Don't know how I feel about the single, "Golden Age" yet. I'm loving the fuzzy synth, but the vocals? Hmmmmm. I think they should keep Kyp Malone away from the mic. Remember how yesterday I was trying to figure out how to do Printers Ball and The Faint/GT show? Now I don't so much care about being late because GT is doing a headlining show at Beat

Pretty much without warning, the Printers Ball has rolled around again; it's this Friday evening. Can't believe it's been four years since getting nearly trampled to death for free 'zines at Hothouse! Considering how last year's ball turned out, with the police busts and all, I'm not terribly surprised that the organizers opted to use all that Poetry Foundation cash for a swankier host, the

OMFG I just bought the most awesome motorcycle boots. As soon as the weather gets under 70 degrees I will be wearing these boots for the rest of my life. These boots have made me believe in love again. I am going to throw my other boots in the garbage. I will post a picture as soon as I take one. In other news, I am not feeling well. But these boots helped a lot. Boots! (It's hard to take

It seems like women are socialized into downplaying their accomplishments. (I'm not talking about anyone in particular, here, but ...) I see guys who are not really all that impressive strut around and bragging like they're hot stuff, and chicks who are comparatively way more accomplished who really downplay their awesomeness, as if being a nuclear physicist or a tri-lingual human rights lawyer

Christina has gotten FTF back on track for September. Here's her theme! The Finetune Friday theme for September is money in honor of Labor Day and the reason that we all work. You know it is true. If you didn't need money then you would do a whole lot of other things besides work. Your challenge is to create a playlist about money. It can be about: * The love of money * Hating money

I wrote this article about the podcast Chicago Acoustic Underground a couple of weeks ago and it's been getting some traction. The guy who produces it is doing a benefit concert this weekend for the Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation this Sunday.

I had heard around town that the Sun Times may not be long for this world. And of course that "Happy Hour" I went to a few days ago, further confirmed that, I thought it to be entirely within the realm of possibility, but later rather than sooner. Maybe not. From Chicagoist: In a letter to shareholders yesterday, the Sun-Times Media Group painted a pretty grim picture of the paper's state of

I highly recommend Tamarind and their five dollar mixed drinks and delicious food and lack of ANTS, Thai Classic. I also highly recommend saying/doing something unusual around the people who know you best, after having a five dollar mixed drink just to keep them on their toes.

So I want to recap the final day of Lolla and then do a post-game review. Sunday was a much slower day than Saturday for me, which was wall-to-wall shows. I had a lot more time to catch my breath, relax, enjoy one of the 200 chicken sausages I consumed and sit down a bit. Saw some of Kid Sister and it was her usual fun performance, saw What Made Milwaukee Famous again. I like their music, but I

I can't believe I am still up and functioning after 5 hours of sleep. Lolla has been great. Right now, my favorite performances have been Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Battles, Raconteurs, Sharon Jones and the DapKings and Rage (even though Rage fans are some of the most obnoxious assholes I have ever witnessed. Yeah, I said it.) You may notice that Radiohead is conspicuously absent. That's because

Tomorrow is Lollapalooza. Oh dear, the city's just bubbling with excitement. I, too, am excited, but I've also got something to say: 1.) Get away from me, crowdsurfers. Moshing I can deal with, I can even tolerate grass/mud flinging, should that be your thing. But I will punch you in your sweaty balls if your lot bothers me with your crotch in my face. 2.) The food better be as good as it was
