Wildcats: Get your head in the game…
Here’s Meklit Hadero, one of the many artists showcasing at South By Southwest. This delicate sonic flower of modernity, called “Leaving Soon,” is informed by jazz, hip hop, folk, moody, string-laden chamberpop and a grownup’s instinct for romantic risk vs. reward analysis. Nonetheless it’s playful and catchy from beginning to end and makes my adrenal …

Here’s another reminder that St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner. In Chicago, for instance, St. Paddy’s Day is a big deal. Windy City offices close for two days due to low productivity on the green day itself and the hangover time wastage which inevitably follows the next day. I never thought I’d miss …

This will bring back some memories. Any guy who grew up playing football will feel this one. Reminds me of growing up back in the 60625 when it was still part of the 312 and running in the mud with a football till it got too dark to see at every park and empty lot …

1) We don’t care how you roll, and 2) you don’t roll so much as you accrete. It’s official, the suburban caucasian family rap video parody movement has jumped the shark. Fonzie roared over the tank during the first few seconds of this big budget Toyota “Swagger Wagon” commercial (above) which isn’t embarrassingly bad so …
Yaz’s “Don’t Go” synth riff lives on in: ********************************************************** And here’s a link to a report from Change.org about discriminatory practices at hip hop concerts in Chicago’s Millenium Park, the first of which was a Kid Sister show: Hip Hop Prompts Discriminatory Security Practices – Chicago’s Millennium Park is a local, national and global treasure. …
Thanks to Mark Erickson for this:
A few things. Grynch‘s new tune is lovely, hook-laden and sweetly touching. Song is about a car and not remotely obscene, but uses connection word obscenities to denote generational authenticity. Be warned, if suchlike bothers you. AND, for those of you who don’t live in Seattle, this video shows exactly what Seattle looks and feels …
