Ryan Adams' Latest Ploy

Ryan Adams - Demolition (Lost Highway) I don't know why people are calling this a collection of demos. It's just another marketing ploy as far as I can tell. A demo implies some sort of prototype; a sketch from which...

The Decline & Fall of the Music Industry Empire

Is it possible that the music industry as we know it—as an industry—may cease to exist? Don't be entirely surprised if that, indeed, comes to pass. Why, you may wonder, what could bring this industry to its knees, and beyond?...

Super Furry Wednesday

Super Furry Animals with Four Tet 10/2/2002, Metro, Chicago These days, we all have technology on the brain. Cell phones have become platforms to support a PDA, digital camera, and microwave oven. Game consoles like PS2 or Xbox have so...

Cat Power: She Got Caught in the Spotlight

Cat Power October 3, The Knitting Factory, NYC There's never a dishonest moment in Chan Marshall's singing, and her voice, with its whispery ache, cast the spell it always does when I heard her at the Knitting Factory Thursday night....

Once In A Lifetime

Same as it ever was? Not really. The Glorious Noise breakroom is always alive with chatter. Over cheese sandwiches and red pop, arguments erupt and fizzle at breakneck speed. But one conversation that's never off the table is the cyclical...

I'm No Rock and Roll Fun

I did a bad thing on Wednesday night. I was in a bar, some random joint in a part of Chicago that I'm not too familiar with. I was there at the behest of a few recent acquaintances; we had...

Beck with the Flaming Lips Chicago Theater, October 18, 2002 Beck may be our generation's greatest songwriter and best hope for sneaking good music into the mainstream culture of America. But his show Friday night at the Chicago Theater left...

Johnny Winter's Revenge

Several years ago, I saw what was arguably the most bizarre concert lineup this side of something that was shown back in the day by NBC on a Friday night, when it figured it would cash in more on people...

Hey Yoshimi, Battle This...

Spookifying!

“What Is Sexy?” Victoria’s Secret asks us, as Oasis’ raunchy “Hung In A Bad Place” crunches in the background. But the question in rhetorical. Reality and Wal-Mart models don’t sell pricey underthings. Victoria’s Secret answers its own question, representing ‘sexy’...
