Fortunately I’ve got friends in better places, namely Austin, Texas, who will IM me with something along the lines of “KGSR IS PLAYING SOMETHING BIZARRE YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS.” Upon listening to the song, I said, “This is either the best or worst song ever.

It’s no surprise that I’m a big fan of the Chicago Roots Collective, which is now entering its second year of life here in the city. The Collective is made up of ten local bands, has put on 30 shows over the past year, and has a monthly showcase at one of my favorite venues, Lincoln Hall.

This is basically the worst week in the world for concerts. And by worst, I mean full of too many choices. I’ll be at the Brandi Carlile show at SPACE on Wednesday, and at DeVotchKa at Lincoln Hall on Saturday. The rest of the week is up in the air. I’ll probably be sobbing under my desk rather than making any real decisions.

Things involved in my Halloween costume: Red lipstick A bright pair of shoes Knee-high socks An old death-kit A hand-powered drill with a very small bit We seem to be Andrew Bird fans around here; based on that list, if you fall into this category, you may have figured out my costume.

I have mixed feelings towards this song, mainly because I have mixed feelings towards the original. I kind of laughed at Brooke White’s breezy piano cover of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody” the first time I heard it, but it’s been growing on me as time has gone on. What do you think?
