Kennedy Shout-Out
A huge thanks to the person with the illegal police siren who scared a reckless driver back into their lane on Kennedy around 6am. Amazing.
That's a hell of a commute story. Hope the reckless driver learned their lesson (and that the siren-wielder doesn't get in trouble). Chicago mornings are wild enough without adding near-misses to the mix.
Seriously, Chicago drivers are insane. I once saw a guy do a three-point turn in the middle of Lake Shore Drive during rush hour. No joke. Glad you're okay!
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!
