Fixx Coffee in Chicago January 20th, 2007 There’s something wholly romantic about the very notion of being the type of person that could pick up and leave the country you were living in not once but twice. Combine this with the folk singer discovering new cities while jotting down poetry in his journal, which may [...]
1. Mondo I haven’t done one of these in awhile and for that I am sorry. The winter drags all of the energy out of my bones it seems. I’ve been getting steady myspace requests from bands and I’m behind in listening to be honest but Mondo had made me start this back up again [...]
1/16/07 Schubas in Chicago I adore Ron Sexsmith. His soft nature as he sings is nothing less than enchanting. Seeing him in the intimate venue of Schubas was a real treat not just because the sound there is always fantastic but also due to the fact that it felt almost like you were having a [...]
 I’ve compiled all 230 photos of Schubas Tomorrow Never Knows Festival from 1/10-1/14/07 in Chicago and posted them here Also, if you just want to look at all of the people in the audience, I compiled about 20 photos of those who watched, danced, and gazed adoringly here
1/13/07 at Schubas in Chicago Tomorrow Never Knows Festival Day Four Chicago has a great local music scene and The Office is one of the bands that makes the community a little brighter and richer. With their catchy form of melodramatic popular song, each note played makes you bob your head to the melodies created [...]

Schubas Tomorrow Never Knows Music Festival Day Two 1/11/07 I really wanted to like Indianapolis Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos more than I did. They have a real feline and feminine quality to them. On songs like “Skeleton Key” and “Vampires in Blue Dresses” a lovely sing songy pop sensibility is touched on. [...]
Tomorrow Never Knows Music Festival Schubas in Chicago 1/10/07 When I think about Lincoln Nebraska’s Eagle Seagull, I think about one song above all others. It isn’t because their self titled 2006 release on Paper Garden Records remains limited to this one song. In fact, it’s full of gems that have me putting on the [...]
TNK Music Festival (Day One) Chicago, Illinois 1/10/07 One of the bands I looked forward to most for the Tomorrow Never Knows Festival is the Champaign three piece The Headlights. Perfectly suited for the Polyvinyl label, they put out a fantastic full length in 2006 entitled Kill Them With Kindness to accompany their EP The [...]
I feel like putting up an out of order sign on myself because I have gotten very little sleep two nights in a row. I’m trying to cover the tomorrow never knows festival at Schubas which has been starting promptly at around 9pm and getting done after 1am. This festival is going on through Sunday [...]
