June 9, 201114 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 05:49 PM) why did you start with hhmmppph then. Because it was a very musical hmph?
June 13, 201114 yr The new Eminem & Royce Da 5'9" EP is very impressive. As you'd expect anything else from these two reuniting.

June 22, 201114 yr Kicking around the idea of going to Paul McCartney at Wrigley for one of the dates (7/31 or 8/1). Bad seats are going for nearly $100 and I'm not sure about that...

Bad seats are going for nearly $100 and I'm not sure about that... If you have never seen him preform live, go. The show is incredible. I saw him in 2002 at the UC and it was worth every single dime.
June 22, 201114 yr Yeah, I just want to be sure that I'm not paying $100+ to look at a pole all night. FWIW Section 528 row 3 is what I'm looking at.

June 22, 201114 yr I found this. Went ahead and bit the bullet for $130 on stubhub. I think I read somehwere that the obstruction doesn't start until row 6.
June 22, 201114 yr well, for those of us who can't afford lolla, the afterparties usually feature a number of the acts at a cheaper price.
June 22, 201114 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 03:30 PM) http://timeoutchicago.com/music-nightlife/...rties-announced I'd love to see Cold War Kids, Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema Club and Titus Andronicus.
June 23, 201114 yr Ever since that commercial for Miami Ink, I can't stop listening to New York Groove by Ace Frehley. It's funny how a commercial can introduce me to a song that's existed forever. The same thing happened with I've Got A Rock 'N' Roll Heart by Eric Clapton (a phone commercial, I believe) and Ooh La La by Faces (Men Of A Certain age promo).
June 24, 201114 yr Eddie Vedder's Ukulele Songs finally arrived at my doorstep today. If you enjoyed the Into the Wild soundtrack, get this.
June 25, 201114 yr Riot Fest is way more in my wheelhouse than Lollapalooza every year. Some of the bigger names this year include Weezer, Social Distortion, Danzig, Descendents, X, Helmet, All, and the one that made me buy a ticket right away - the reunited D Generation! I'm very excited to see them!!
June 30, 201114 yr Saw Eddie Vedder @ Chicago Theatre last night. He played a nice mix of songs from Pearl Jam/Into the Wild/Uke Songs. Pretty solid time, though I had to leave during the encore on account of catching a train/not being dead at work right now.
June 30, 201114 yr Cowboy Song by Thin Lizzy is an extremely underplayed and unknown song for how f***ing awesome it is.

Thin Lizzy is an extremely underplayed and unknown band for how f***ing awesome they are. They have so many outstanding songs, it's downright criminal that they weren't as big as other bands of their era. They were great at melodic hard rock, they had great ballads, they went almost metal at the end of their run, and they did all of it better than most. .....s***, now I gotta play some Lizzy!!

This is so depressingly true about a large number of bands. Never really gone into Thin Lizzy all that much, but I know this song is a Thin Lizzy tribute, and that song is very awesome. I'll have to check out Lizzy sometime.

Nobody did harmony guitar lines like they did. Love that stuff.
