Heeeeeeeeey ILXors. Would anybody be up for taking a look at my resume for typos and the like? It's time to start applying for jobs, I guess.

Oooo a lawyer song.

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

I will DL when I get home. I like that Klaxons song, couldnt' decide whether to put it on my mix or not. And I haven't heard the new Fall yet, scared off by terrible reviews.

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

Hey thanks for the restaurant recs. Now which night--Sunday or Monday (April 29 & 30)--is most promising to meet up with as many of you as possible? And where? Note: I will not be able to fully tie one on in true DC style, as I have to be awake and reasonably articulate at an ungodly hour, but I will teach all of you how to eat cell phones.

Oh and the brief quincie rundown: that's me, real name Kate, DC inhabitant, 33 yrs. old, medical editor, dislikes Superchunk.

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

The new Fall really isn't terrible, but its not very good either. If that makes sense. There are like two or three songs that I really love and the rest I could pretty much do without.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, disclaimer - my mix doesn't fit on one CD. The people I was making it for were just intending to drop it onto mp3 players as a playlist, so I had a little freedom to stretch.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan - yes please.

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

um, has anyone on this bitch ever had their credit card number stolen? plz tell me the paperwork isn't too bad kthx.

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't make a mix, but I finished a slightly obnoxious drum & bass tune, I will upload if anyone wants to hear it. Don't feel obligated.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Nick... I will ysi tonight.

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Note: I will not be able to fully tie one on in true DC style, as I have to be awake and reasonably articulate at an ungodly hour

then what's the point, really? i'm sure we can figure something out.

kenan, which version of "i'm through with white girls" is it? from the album?

xpost to julia- talk to dan, i think his debit card was comprimised.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

I would like mixes.

I would drink with all this DC ilxor. Either night is doable but Sunday's probably better.

Julia: I had my debit card number stolen, which is kind of the same thing. There was some paperwork, but not much. Of course, my experience may not be typical, I have no idea... good luck! The uncertainty of the whole ordeal was the worst, as well as having to deal with not having the card for 2 weeks.

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

KENAN, YES, WANT!

― Laurel, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

Julia, 69 (= pete from DC) had his number stolen, and iirc it wasn't actually too bad--pop over to the dc board and I'm sure he'd tell you how shit went down.

Also: I would like this CD, too! 100% Superchunk free!

― quincie, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

It really seems like V|SA et al. have their shit together now in dealing with this kind of theft, which is of course a little depressing because that's how you know it happens all the time...

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

I think either of those quincie dates should be fine for me

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

it'll probably work out--citibank caught it within a day (and a couple thou of charges).

thanks dan. xp cool, i will, quincie.

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

kevin: it's from Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

that's the way way better version kenan, good choice.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

xxpost That's what happened with mine, too... $900 at footlocker and they called me within like 8 hours of the charge.

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

KENAN, YES, WANT!

heh. You inspired me, actually, because I was making cracks to you about how this or that rocking thing just made me want to listen to Kraftwerk, and then I thought to myself, "Kenan, you are so full of shit."

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

do you have that album? it's f'ing killer. with the exception of the ko & knockouts song every song on that comp is a better version than the version that later came out on the artist's records.

xpost to kenan.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

it's the only dirtbombs i have, actually.

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:25 (nineteen years ago)

they haven't been the same since tom potter left.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:25 (nineteen years ago)

i know nothing about them except that that record rocks.

100% Superchunk free!

And what if it wasn't?

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:30 (nineteen years ago)

She hates Superchunk dude. I don't understand it either.

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

get the "ultraglide in black" lp, it's a cover record of all the songs mick collins grew up listening to. the version of "livin' for the city" is pretty awesome.

xpost to kenan.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

Laurel, Lots of "The" Bands there!

― KitCat, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

dang, you guys are shaming me into finishing the mix i started about a month and a half ago. IF THE GODDAMN RECORDS I ORDERED EVER GOT TO ME I'D HAVE NO EXCUSES. but i guess i can work with what i've got.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

I know! AND IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE when my other two purchases arrive. XP to Sarah.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

hey, if i can offer up some advice to the rest of the chicago thread, go out and buy the gentleman jesse & his men 7" on douchemaster records. not only is it the finest release of the year but 10 years from now you'll be able to sell it on eBay for boatloads of money.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

Jesse should just give us copies for free.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

WEDNESDAY:
Cloudy, breezy and cold with snow; additional accumulations of 3"-4". Storm totals: 4"-7".

:(

― Jordan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

i did get a copy for free from jesse. different one though.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

WTF? Is that forecast for here?

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, one idea for the DC-Chicago Summit (Sunday or Monday's OK) would be dinner at Old Jerusalem on Wells St., decent and cheap Middle Eastern place, can seat 4 or 14 easily, BYOB, and then maybe nightcap afterwards at the Top or the Pump.

Man, we've been missing all that snow by just 100 miles this month and last.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

Ahh.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

Though I just realized I may be out of town helping my dad (he's getting both knees replaced next week), but I'll know more about that soon...

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

I like Old Jerusalem.

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

last time i was at old jerusalem was with towga and hstencil. we went there before going to barbara's for an irvine welch reading about 6 years ago.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

And here I was going to suggest Old Timer's for the classic chilx drinkin' experience... not too classy compared to the 'Cock Top.

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:50 (nineteen years ago)

WITH DANCING AT SOUNDBAR AFTERWARDS no just kidding you guys

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

Oooh that reminds me: the bar that jaymc, HS and I went to after the SOUNDBAR experience was pretty cool and is in the vicinity. Can't recall the name, though.

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Wait chilx has BYOB spots???

― quincie, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:00 (nineteen years ago)
