I went to a farm - a pizza farm.

Disappears
If I could go a whole week with only writing about Ponys' side projects I would be a very happy blogger, but unfortunately I missed Tyler Jon Tyler on Thursday. Anyway, last night Disappears played the Empty Bottle and it was my birthday!!! Needless to say, there were a lot of hugs.
In the traditional Chicago vein of Super Groups (a term I throw around near daily) this band has some awesome talent. For example, Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth. This was actually my first time seeing Disappears with Steve Shelley drumming (is it weird that I feel uncomfortable referring to him as just Steve..like calling Bill Murray just Bill. Wrong) and I can honestly say I missed Graham. Weird! However, my opinion of music should never been trusted.
Last night for the last songs Disappears featured fashionable members of White/Light. Matt played a lap steel, which ruled & Jeremy played a moisturizer? I had never seen nor heard one before last night and I can tell you I was pleasantly surprised.

Disappears&White/Light - ultimate super group.

Bare Mutants
What happens one drunken night when a brilliant musician asks the people around him to be in a band together? Fucking magic - that's what.

Dick Juice
What a horribly disgusting title for a blog post.
However, Dick Juice was possibly the best part of the night.
Anyway, I was up in Minneapolis last weekend, Vivian Girls and Black Lips were also in Minneapolis - which means I have now seen the Black Lips 5 times and in 5 different cities. WEIRD!
The show was , dare I say, kinda boring. Black Lips are high up the list of best dudes to see live/hang out with, but the Minneapolis crowd (especially compared to the mayhem in Chicago the night before ) was overly reserved. Regardless, my favourite part of the night was after the show, sitting downstairs with Jared, Katie and Nathan talking about Dick Juice, E a B of Ds, and Pop a Show'.
Oh and there was a girl dressed like a bear who's friends with GZA?
That was kinda rad too.
