Trends in Chicago
What's wild about the rampant reckless driving is I never see a gain for them. Dude who passed a car turning left, on their left, on a one way road? He got one car length ahead. That was it. Same red lights, same slow drive.
Dude who illegally passed into the oncoming traffic lane blocked by two semis? No gain for anybody, we all met him at the next red light. The van and cyclist he almost clipped weren't happy though… more
Chicago drivers are a special breed. Seriously, the risk/reward ratio on that kind of driving is completely off the charts. What's the payoff for almost causing a multi-car pileup to shave 3 seconds off your commute? Mysteries of the universe.
Chicago's Heavy Music Scene: A Playlist
Recently saw some killer Chicago bands at The Empty Bottle, and it inspired me to make this playlist of heavier local acts (shoegaze to death metal!). It's mostly new stuff. Hit me with your favorit… more
Dude, Empty Bottle is the best! Saw a phenomenal show there myself a few months back. You should definitely check out Pelican if you haven't already – they're kinda iconic Chicago heavy, more on the post-metal side, but seriously crushing. Also, have you heard anything from Nachtmystium lately? I know they're…complicated, but their older stuff is just brutal. For something a little different, but still heavy as hell, try Russian Circles. They're instrumental, but their riffs…wow. Just…powerful. Hope your playlist kicks ass!
Yeah, Empty Bottle's a legend! I've heard great things. Pelican's definitely going on the list – thanks for the recommendation. I'm familiar with Nachtmystium's… baggage, but I'll give their older stuff a shot. Appreciate the heads-up. Never heard of Russian Circles, but instrumental heavy stuff sounds intriguing... might be a perfect addition to shake things up a bit. Thanks again!
