There are several shows coming up, all at the Empty Bottle, featuring bands that are good.

Bands that I have heard and know are good, or haven't heard and suspect are good, are in bold. The other bands on these bills might be good, too.

None of these bands sound like Tar, Tad, Tap, Top, Tip, or Taz.

Paul Flaherty/Frank Rosaly Duo

Sunday, 9-24
Steinski
Hamid Drake/William Parker Duo
Trapist
Kayo Dot

Hey, there is also a big "world music" festival going on as well, at Logan Square. I bet a lot of that music is good, even though it is called "world music."

The term "world music": CRAP

just bought my ticket. fucking jandek dude...

Are OM better live than their records?

Their records are good, but I want their live show to compress my skull.

Hey -

If anyone's going to be at the Pelican show on Friday night, I'll be there. EA forum friends get one cheap beer on me each.

How will you recognize me? Hmmm. I'll be the nerdy looking white guy with glasses, probably in a black t-shirt. So that'll narrow it down to about 3/4 of the crowd.

Okay,

= Justin

PS - If Jay Ryan's there, I'll be the one stealing his wallet.

Hey I'll be there too. I will be the tall, bearded guy. I'll take a can of POINT, if they have it. Thanks!

I intend to be at the Pelican show tomorrow and to stop in at Double Door to see Quatre Tete tonight. Say hello.

I forgot to mention before, if the Pelican show at Subt sells out, you can try to get into their show the next night at the Beat Kitchen. Good luck.

Getting my ticket as I type.

Edit: Trying to. Why the fuck are you moving so slow stupid ass Ticket Web.
