Wishbone rules my cycling world
Saw this on the hostess's podium at Wishbone, a restaurant around the corner from the Fuzzy Math office in Roscoe Village, but I always forget my helmet!

Review: AA Bondy / Elvis Perkins in Dearland: Live @LincolnHall 11/21/09
I was lucky enough to see AA Bondy and Elvis Perkins in Dearland last Saturday night with Jen after we took in another ridiculously satisfying and rich dinner at La Sardine. I wrote a full review for Muzzle of Bees; what an unbelievable performance. If you want the condensed version, go to http://5sentencereview.com. Also, if you are not yet following @muzzleofbees, and you listen to rock and indie music, check him out.
A couple of funny things happened at this show that are worth noting. Halfway into AA Bondy's set, some dude yelled out "Slow Parade," which is the anthem from Bondy's new record "When the Devil's Loose." Bondy had played this about three songs back, fucking perfectly, no less, and yells back "Thanks for letting me know you weren't here for the beginning." This was bad, but it was to get worse.Perkins is tooling along in his set, and stops to ask for a sing-along, which was rebuffed by a crowd content to just stand there and drink. Afterward, Perkins laments the audience’s participation, calling it, “the best we’ve heard on tour.” After a weak applause, Perkins continues, “that’s not true.” Dude stole my line!It goes on. Perkins: We just got back from a tour of Europe.Drunk Fan: Did you see a fjord?
Perkins: No, we did not.
Drunk Fan: It is a land mass!
Perkins: 1, 2, 3, 4 (in the next song) Perkins was good, but just did not get on well with the crowd. Bondy was the real deal. I would go to see this guy if you get the chance, seriously.Please do check out my full review here.

Five Sentence Review: AA Bondy / Elvis Perkins in Dearland: Live at Lincoln Hall 11/21/09
I was excited to review AA Bondy and Elvis Perkins in Dearland playing at Lincoln Hall for Muzzle of Bees, a great music blog by this dude Ryan who lives in Madison, WI.
Jen and I got good and fat at La Sardine, our favorite French restaurant in the city, and headed over to see AA Bondy start the show at about 10:30 p.m.AA Bondy exceeded expectations with gross, feral emotion and ridiculously technical and beautiful guitar work in front of a slient, rapt audience. Elvis Perkins in Dearland impressed with a tight and creative band and upbeat Louisiana-style pomp, but left the crowd a bit put off once or twice throughout the set. Little known fact (especially if your google is broken): Elvis Perkins is the son of actor Anthony Perkins (yes! Norman Bates) and was named after the man himself, as Daddy Perkins loved his music.
Barry's beatdown
Ah yes. Here's to proof, delivered on a Friday, that two 40 year old gents can still act as moronic as some 20 something dudes.
Barry and I have been friends for nearly 20 years. For almost 15 years we have played some variety of video game football. From tecmobowl to madden to espn to madden, Barry has consistently beaten me. Until now...
