12Re: Chicago soundtrack.
You do get Wilco, Andrew Bird, Serengeti and Mavis Staples. Might not be the Chi town everyone on here loves but pretty iconic Chicago music.
I do think someone needs to email their music editor and tell them that placing Tortoise on a show would be shooting fish in a barrel and we'd all be better for it.
Edit: oh shit when you email tell them that after an emotional scene where Carmy throws a ten gallon of tomato sauce into the walk in and storms out to put on "Treason" by Naked Raygun.

Re: TV Show - The Bear
13I dunno I could sure use a lot less 'take you out of the moment' songs in TV shows as a whole (subtle ambient/mood stuff, fine). I don't care about the aging music director of X show wanting to show off his taste for William Onyeabor or the Bush Tetras or whatever it is.

14Yet, very believable (Pearl Jam) as being the musical taste of a cook, or any white middle class food service or retail worker I’ve met.Gramsci wrote: Tue Jan 16, 2024 2:19 am I agree on season two having a different tone. To me it was better and worse at the same time. I thought they dropped the ball on Carmy but upped the game on the others. Richy worked I thought, as they kind of slow burned his inner life from episode 1.
One thing I think the show messes up is the music. A bit of Wilco… make Chicago music The Thing. You could have easy swapped out New Noise for a TJL tune. Every time Pearl Jam kicked off it really grated. They tried to make music a character in the show, but fucking REM… I realise there’s an inbuilt bias here but Chicago alternative and jazz as a “character” would have been so easy.

16Dan Sullivan, Chicagoan, who played with Songs:Ohia for a time and put out ace records as Nad Navillus, and is currently spanking his plan in Arriver, has become a great carpenter, with some really interesting furniture design.
Story goes something like he got the call asking about supplying something for season 2 of The Bear, and when he explained he doesn't do props, they were like 'no, we want to commission you to fit out a full restaurant', which was pretty awesome. Nice to see them giving business locally.
Also does a mean line in guitars now.

Re: TV Show - The Bear
17S3: the occasional episodes centered on side characters are good, but the tortured genius main plot has gotten ridiculous. Can they make a spin off show where Jon Bernthal comes back full time.
Re: TV Show - The Bear
19The best parts of the show are the parts that aren't driving a plot at all but just letting the characters get more flushed out. Sugar has weirdly become one of my favorite characters. I kinda wish they would get rid of the tweedle dee / tweedle dum combo cause they are loud and annoying and serve zero function, for whatever reason they get more screen time than anyone else on the show. It's a good show but it feels like it should be wrapping it up sooner than later, I smell a shark and they are all poised to jump.

20YES. Also I've seen that neck tat dude in interviews and he's part that VICE tv food bro culture.
