Well, reader, I’m not quite sure what to say.  Sounds like you and Elsinore have some issues to work out amongst yourselves.  I’m just going to sit back and let that happen.

Its cool Annie, I know deep down you don’t give a shit, but yer being gracious. Check out the new Clipd Beaks, or Brian Jonestown Massacre, or Black Ryder from Australia. Yer right though, Chemicals is one song that acually says nothing. Usually, music that doesn’t really…

Jared played this on WEFT Sessions in September 2008, and in a year mistechtrophic songs I think this was my favorite of the year—this simple version of  “I_Refute_Technology.mp3“ with acoustic guitar, electric bass, and two voices, it’s a good song.  Musician, cover thyself!

Don’t forget about the Zmick show at Canopy Club w/ special guests Mathien. Urbana jams with some Chicago soul. You won’t wanna miss it!

This thread has become somewhat played out, but I wanted to thank Joel for his comments. No concerns on the general quality/quantity of local music coverage in this zine - I simply didn’t want an uninformed reader to get the wrong impression on just how vibrant a…

Joel brings up a fantastic point in that most of the bands you’ll find bitching about not getting covered are the ones who never, EVER, bother to put in any effort when it comes to promo.  There is a chip on the shoulders of so many local…

Knowing the percussionist for this collaboration personally I am a bit biased and I fully agree with the review.  I’m lovin’ this record and I have the new album on it’s way as we speak.

Thanks for this great review, Annie!

In all honesty, we try to cover shows that we’re excited about, as Annie said, but we also try to give bands coverage who ask for it. In this case, Elsinore and WFFM both told us about their CD release shows well in advance, sent us downloads…

It’s been a while since we’ve seen you.  I wanted to let you know that our “Hunters’ Feast” will be starting February 19th.  In addition to our full dinner menu, we will offer wild boar schnitzel, roasted rabbit legs, vennison tenderloin & a variety of wild game…

Great job Suzanne.  I really like how you sum up how George is a man stuck in his past and unwilling to explore his future.  Thanks for your concise, thoughtful writing.

Like Jason, I’ve been told by people who would know that HoG and Tang Dynasty are the most authentic Chinese food restaurants in town. One woman described HoG as “home cooking.“  Its tofu Pad Thai is perfection.   Jason is also spot on that Mandarin Wok is…

Almost every issue this amendment attempts to address is merely a symptom of a much bigger, and unsurprisingly, much more difficult to solve problem: Voter apathy.   You want to force term limits because voters generally don’t care enough to throw out bums who come off as…

I wouldn’t be too quick to discount this place simply based on its location or plastic eating utensils.  I’ve been told that this place is one of the more authentic Chinese restaurants in town by a couple of different people who would know.  That’s not to say…

It’s mediocre—not bad, but pretty much standard campus fare.  “Plastic fork cuisine” is pretty apt.  I have no experience searching for food from a vegan perspective, but for omnivores (or even vegetarians), I’d say there are at least five better Chinese and Thai places around town, maybe more.

First the Detroit Freep links. Keep term limits: http://www.freep.com/article/20100204/OPINION05/2040400/1068/OPINION/Keep-limits-Longer-time-in-office-wont-fix-state Repeal term limits: http://www.freep.com/article/20100204/OPINION05/2040403/1068/OPINION/Repeal-limits-Experience-is-not-an-evil-thing Second. I don’t have a real strong opinion on term limits, but generally think they do more harm than good.  However, I have no proof of that.  But, my experience, from working in government…

When I was an undergrad, I too occasionally had enough money for a cheap greasy spoon (chopstick) meal.   On those occasions, I felt mildly celebratory about not boiling or microwaving my own dinner.   It looks like this meal came in Styrofoam, with a plastic fork.   There are…
