I was thinking of going with a cheaper model. It's something I have always wanted to try so feel I would stick with it.

Any recommended models?

 

Music Source is near you and carries the Breedlove Discovery Dreadought. That is a very solid beginner guitar for $300. If you are taking lessons outside your home, you will definitely want to get a case for it too.

My friend's recording studio in Lakeview was featured in a segment on wgn last night

Whipped together a house mix. The ending is a bit sloppy but whatever.

New LCD Soundsystem is solid

Agreed. Although I always feel like that after one of their album releases but for whatever reason I get tired of listening pretty quickly.

 

 

Really digging this DoNormaal album. Indie rapper from Seattle that's starting to get a bit of airplay out here. Some solid production and nice flow.

New Foo is underwhelming

Haven't given it a listen yet. What was underwhelming?

 

Thinking about trying to catch em when they come back around.

Only a couple of hard tunes. I'll listen through again.

Sounds like Dave is slowing down. Was hoping for stuff along the lines of White Limo.

 

I'll have to pick it up tomorrow and give it a listen.

I have no idea how to embed youtube videos here anymore but listening to Tom Petty Wildflowers

The new Macklemore CD is very very enjoyable.

Saw Arcade Fire last night at Key Arena. Outstanding show.

New LCD Soundsystem is solid

Absolutely. I had tickets to see them play in Atlanta this weekend, but I had to make a last-minute trip to Europe for work and had to sell my tickets. Fortunately, I saw them back in May, but was still a bit bummed out that the timing worked the way it did. But I can't complain - I'm in Europe. Could be worse places to get sent. Haha.

 

Anybody listen to the new Cut Copy album yet? Haiku From Zero. Really solid.

Is anyone here going to see LCD Soundsystem when they come to Chicago? What show are you going to?

No. I still just really don't like how they made a big deal about breaking up and then were back 2 years later.

 

Anyway I bought st. vincent tickets for january. I'm excited to see what she does for this tour. I hope she still plays a fair amount on guitar.

Took my wife to the Morrissey show last night. I had a much better time than anticipated. The old guy can still croon.

Nice of him not to cancel for once.

Everytime that I've bought tickets to see him with the exception of Riot Fest, he canceled.

 

Really love the new single.

EDIT: I really dug "I Wish You Lonely" and "Spent the Day in Bed"

thanks you i will try

As Apple prepares to launch Apple Music, which just snagged Swift's coveted 1989, we're showing you the artists whose catalogues you still can't stream in full or at all.

Digging the new Charlotte Gainsbourg album.

If anybody is interested, you can listen to the album that a band I play in is about to release here, for free: The May Day Orchestra

 

It's original music, not poppy at all, but if the description below sounds interesting, check it out.

 

 

The May Day Orchestra began as a folk band and has morphed over the last decade into the current rock quartet heard on the new album "Wake".

Beginning as a side project of Tim Rakel's group Bad Folk in 2008 to consider political and historical themes album by album rather than song by song, the band is releasing its third full-length recording.

The first record dealt with "May Day" itself and the American labor movement of the 1880s in Chicago. From there, the group expanded it's instrumentation and covered the story of Ota Benga, a pygmy man from Congo who wound up a human exhibit at the Saint Louis World's Fair in 1904.

The current project, Wake, takes on similar issues of colonialism and imperialism with an African setting. The more recent history of Kenya is interposed with the tale of Yusuf bin Hasan, a 17th century sultan turned pirate.
