Things I like…concert venue edition

Thank you, Dr Martel, for keeping a pulse here. I’ve been asked to compile a list of the best places to see music in Chicago. Please check my logic and fill in any gaps that I’ve missed. Yeah, and I guess we can consider the entire concert-going experience here. Can that can be measured regardless of music? I dunno – anyway…here goes:

Theatre: not necessarily w/ seats, but capacity at greater than 500 people?

1. Park West
2. The Vic
3. Epiphany Church
4. Logan Square Auditorium
5. Congress Theatre
6. Pritzker Pavillion

Clubs: no seats, generally less than 500 people?

1. The Empty Bottle
2. The Hideout
3. Smart Bar
4. The Bottom Lounge
5. Subterranean
6. Schubas
7. Double Door
8. The Metro
9. Reggies
10. The AVerie
11. The Green Mill
12. The Beat Kitchen
13. Abbey Pub
14. Elbo Room
15. Sonotheque

Yay, Another Site You Could Sign Up For

It’s like twitter but instead of posting stuff about you, you post songs you like. This is my account on there, and if you don’t wanna sign up for Yet Another Website You Need To Sign Up For, there’s a generic account I just made for drinkingsoundtrack. Username, drinkingsoundtrack, password, Tom’s last name all in lowercase.

Who is Pontoon Turnbuckle?

He’s multipurpose. All-weather.
Unbothered by insult,
he smells of eels.
He’s taller than the nearest warehouse district.

He’s a mascot? A giant vomiting turtle who can fix anything with a length of fishing line?

He’s amazing!

He only produces pure oxygen,
is well-dressed even when nude,
gets all the best magazines,
he’ll smite the weary and freak the needy,
the only show in a one man jacket.

He’s bigger than Swayze.

Bacon Man, rough rough rough rough draft

Joe — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 01:56:34 +0000

Joachim (Cast) and I are working on this song called Bacon Man. It’s about Obama. Here’s the “sketch” of how the song / video’s going to look. We’re going to shoot new video and put some real vocals on the chorus. Leah and Lauren are the vocals on the “who’s that in the kitchen makin’ something sizzlin’” intro …

Favorite summer songs?

Joe — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:38:55 +0000

Post ‘em here.

The couple on my mind right now:

Geese of Beverly Road, The National
Thieves, Constantines

And, hey, good to see all y’all this weekend … no matter how brief or un-sober it was…

List ‘em: Love songs where the singer isn’t really in love.

My offerings to this list… hmmm, nothing yet. You got any?

So, who among us do you think will be a parent first?

Drinking Soundtrack Get-Arrested-Next Pool

Joe — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 23:31:41 +0000

Remember December? How everyone voted Dana the most-likely to slip and fall in the Drinking Sountrack Who-Will-Fall-Next Pool, but then I totally darkhorsed it for the win? Well, that kind of betting on the bad (or good!) things to befall us doesn’t have to stop there. No, no.

Per the conversations of the weekend of August 19, here is a new Drinking Soundtrack Pool: Who do you think will get arrested next?
