Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

Speaking of which, Nabisco just sent me a rough cut of his "Sl0w D0wn Ch1cag0" remix. Awesome.

I'm not really embarassed, I have just heard the absolute living shit out of CTD's first two albums and have no desire to ever hear them again -- just like the other few tapes we had in Australia:

Eric Clapton -- Unplugged
ZZ Top -- Greatest Hits
Frente! -- Marvin the Album

NB I will still listen and defend the music I was into at the time that my parents hated, namely Faith No More, NIN, etc.

jaymc, will you send me traxx soon? i'm finishing the digd0wn remix this week but i will have time soon.

Oh, I wasn't saying that in response to you, Dan. I feel like *I'm* too encumbered sometimes by what's cool or uncool.

Jordan, you should have them by tomorrow at the latest. Our new piano player (who's an electronic musician on the side) is handling this project, so he's going to get zip files made this afternoon. I'll e-mail you as soon as they're ready.

not giving a single unholy crap about what's cool is like the #1 best thing about aging

No worries, J, just rambling again.

Our new piano player

Did this end up being Schn@ble?

Yup.

He's still learning the songs, so he probably won't make his first appearance on-stage until next month.

Cool, I'll have to come out and see when that happens, I'd like to catch up a little.

I would call him Sn@pple.

OMG B3n T@us1g wrote me and solved one of my xwords.

what did he say????

ATTENTION

UPS JUST DELIVERED SOMETHING TO MY OFFICE.

GUESS WHAT IT WAS?

Answer: FIREWOOD.

I was going to guess gay porn wrapped in plastic.

a tattoo?

herve villachez wrapped in plastic?

Jordan, he said that the clues and fills were "generally quite good" and that he appreciated the "fresh sensibility." He did #3, because it was the first one on my Flickr page but wanted me to direct him to one of the theme puzzles so he could offer some better advice. I think maybe I have to get better with themes if I want to work with him (i.e., sell puzzles to the AV Club).

Get the maul out, Jesse.

that's great!

Also they delivered my my SONICARE!!!!!!

It is in the kitchen charging right now.

jesse-- is it the fancy new one with UV rays in it?

No. I don't need UV rays.

it has UV rays, but you have to wear special sunglasses on your teeth while you use it.

No tanning this winter then, Jesse?

My gums are tan enough.

MBN

idon't know if i've mentioned this, but guesswhat

That sure beats my vacation to home, where there is like 3 feet of snow already.

Although, I am very excited to go snowshoeing and maybe -boarding.

Don't you mean w00t?

yeah, what's up with w00t? i've only seen that in blogs where people do annoying mixing of upper and lower cases...so how did that version become the standard?

O I C. I need to put the zeros in there to show a coming together of words and technology. Excuuuuuse me.

(Or rather "whimsy and new technology")

Chicagoans, where can I find a good liquor store with fancy whisky in your town?

http://www.samswine.com/

Or http://www.binnys.com/

Last night I was thinking about the Binny's/Foremost location questions from that Globe pub quiz... that was a pretty sweet idea, I gotta say.

I think of that whenever I see a Foremost Liquors. I don't think I'd really noticed them before.

Much obliged.

N & I were at Sam's last night getting vino for his pops.

Wine Discount is very good, very helpful, but only for wine their spirits selection is a bit limited.

I like Foremost because it's the closest place to my house that has harder to find Euro beers like Chouffe as well as a broad selection of micros.

(^the item on there today was my chanukah present from my dad, don't know when i'm going to use it.)
