2009 is going out with a bang, because there are a whole lot of awesome shows on NYE. I won’t be at any of them, but you all should still check something out. My plans of trying to hit an even 20 for concerts attended this year have repeatedly been thwarted by weather and exhaustion […]

Good morning to everyone from snowy Chicago. I got to test out my new winter boots this morning, so I guess I can’t lie to myself anymore; it really is winter now. It’s a pretty small concert list this week, although there are tons and tons of classical and holiday shows going on this week. […]

A quiet week, but some solid shows nonetheless. I’ll be at the Elvis Perkins/AA Bondy show on Saturdy, finally able to catch the both of them in Chicago. It’ll be my first time at Lincoln Hall (although I walked past it the other night and it looks way swanky on the outside), but I’ve got […]

A little bit of everything in Chicago this week. Rock, electronica, folk, rap, and my guilty pleasure, cheesy pop music. I kind of can’t handle all of the different choices for shows on Thursday, and I have never been so disappointed to have to go to a Halloween party rather than a show on Friday.
