A legendary gig in @TheRealLilacs history. 24th bday of singer @KenKurson and a shared bill with the great Paul K and the Weathermen.

Angela, DM me your mailing address. I’ve got something for your 9 year old…
When your 9 year old autistic child begs you fora shirt with @deesnider and @TwistedSisterNY but you are broke. Mommy helps him make his own. Not my best free hand but he's happy

While the rock mainstream keeps moving, Scott Lucas and @LocalH have maintained their vision and power. With a @musicboxtheatre premiere and @MetroChicago show next week, Lucas has much to say about bands, labels and the meaning of success on @Caropopcast. caropop.com/caropopcast/epis…
In June 2011, @Evan_Dando and Kevin Junior were rocking out off-stage as @materialreissue played a killer set at Taste of Chicago in Grant Park. Now Kevin has left us, too.

Steve Albini's #1 priority was to protect and preserve an artist's vision--and you can't preserve it forever digitally so he kept working with tape. It's no wonder his @Caropopcast episode remains by far the most downloaded one. We've lost a tremendously talented, thoughtful guy.
Two great artists in @Suntimes: "Jon Langford art exhibit at Tony Fitzpatrick’s studio a full-circle moment; Langford says Fitzpatrick instilled in him the confidence that art could be more than a hobby for the Chicago-based punk rocker." chicago.suntimes.com/art/202…

We’ve been pretty quiet this year — but that’s all about to change. December tour starts tomorrow in Chicago at the Aragon with @theblackkeys and @alexsucksband. Let’s send 2023 out on a rail!
Set your DVRs for Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy (@SplitSingleband) doing their indie valentine on @LateNightSeth. Rock n roll polymath @dagjuhlin joins the fun.
Lots of great music out there, including mustn't miss new solo record "Larks of Avon" by Jeff Lescher. chicagoreader.com/music/goss…
Consider supporting the gofundme for the film Melomaniac, which chronicles and celebrates Aadam Jacobs, who chronicled and celebrated the Chicago indie music scene of the 80s and 90s. gofundme.com/f/fund-music-li…
On the one year anniversary of his death, let's take a moment to consider the influence of the great Cliff Johnson. His smoky voice and quirky melodies in Off Broadway and Pez Band helped invent Midwest powerpop.
