Though I grew up on the south side of Milwaukee where Dio patches on jean jackets were very popular throughout high school I've never personally paid enough attention to Dio to make an informed crap-oriented yes/no decision on his merit. But I do know that one of the few things Rollins has done that...

I tried that Raven Red stuff and I had to pour it down the sink. Heresy! Just seeing the bottle online made me want to go out and get one with lunch. Lunch, BTW, = pizza at this fantastic new place here called Transfer Pizza that this oddball Ukranian guy who moved here from Italy runs.... m $6 piz...

I'm kind of curious about the Lakefront Golden Maple Root Beer. Lakefront is unique, with a maple flavor true to its name. It's highly carbonated, and a golden yellow in color. It's tasty, but I hate drinking a serving out of plastic, and they no longer make it in bottles, so I have it about once a...

I've been listening to the 4 Bottomless Pit songs on the SKWM site, and they're perfect 10s to me. The kind of songs you want to play over and over again. Chilling lyrics, excellent guitarwork, cool song structures that evolve over time. And the feel of the recording is perfect, too. A bit early 80'...

In the same wonderful space (the old art deco Blatz presentation hall, with good acoustics) as the Shellac / Uzeda show, the Evens will play: from Washington DC the Evens Amy Farina - vocals & drums Ian MacKaye - vocals & baritone guitar Saturday, October 14th 7PM doors 8PM sharp show, no op...

Shellac and Uzeda just left HiFi cafe here in Bay View for Minneapolis, and I'm exhausted, and our cats miss the Italians already. The show was about as good as shows go, as far as I'm concerned. The venue was attractive, the acoustics good, the people in the bands and the audience present were both...

Hey, I'm totally psyched about the show tonight. If anyone is coming up, at this point I'd say don't worry about the show selling out / getting in. Pre-sales have been strong and publicity hit the major papers, but in the unlikely event it would sell out (unikely because the unique layout of the ven...

the bar is faaaannnncyy too, like out of The Shining, I got a napkin w/ my can of Coke when I was there. Totally classy move. I do beleive that's special treatment for you since you are the Classy-cal. *rim shot* That was so bad, I couldn't keep it to myself. Seriously, though... it is both odd and...

Tickets remain available for the Sept 11 Uzeda/Shellac show in Milwaukee. Rushmor Records (414)481-6040 and Atomic Records (414) 332-3663 have them, or if you PM me, I can take care of you personally. $10 each. Rushmor is in lovely Bay View, a block from my house and I love those guys, so stop in if...

...but only with the red cherry candy shell that turns from the wet to the hard like magic trick... The stackmatic serves truth. The hard shell is soft serv's saviour. Up here in the northland known as Bay View, WI there was on Howell Ave until last year a crazy Chinese food & soft serve stand ...
