Last night Robert Wilkinson told a story at the Schooner about going into Oarfolk in 1977 and Peter Jesperson gave him a taped copy of David Bowie’s new single “Heroes.” A week later, Robert had his band Flamingo covering Heroes, and Robert has been playing the song ever since, including last night.

South siders Lost Legion make oi! for everyday people fighting back against the feds - Chicago Reader South-side duo Lost Legion prefer simple, direct communication—at least judging from their unrestrained oi! punk.

I wrote about Lost Legion, who aren’t playing a record release show but a gathering of likeminded punks eager to be more involved in community organizing around jail support and ICE observation

3/6, 1st Round: (4) The Black Crowes vs (13) Kristin Hersh — March Sadness 90s Edition

My @marchxness.bsky.social essay on Kristin Hersh's "Your Ghost" is up! Not only do I share copious details about the song (come for the guitar treasure hunt, stay for the record label anger) but I reminisce about growing up in the 1990s and discovering Throwing Muses. marchxness.com/1stround-bla...

They never catch up. They just talk about stuff when it's too late to do anything, and yell at those of us who talk about it when it can still be fixed.
