Chicago Riot, an indoor soccer club based in the Windy City, is celebrating "Double Elvis Night" on January 9. Fans who dress up as either Elvis receive free Lager Riot standing room tickets, with upgrades to seating areas available at the ticket window. Festivities extend to halftime as a...

Pre-ordered the new Decemberists album. Pretty sure it's going to be a good one. They've been playing some of this material live for a year or more. I remember hearing "Down By the Water" two summers ago at Newport.

Imperial Bedroom is the closest for me.

There is a review of Marnie Stern's new album in this week's issue of The New Yorker that refers to Elvis (and Paul Weller) as "formerly dominant post-punk figures" (as contrasted with the increasing influence of once unfashionable "virtuosic" bands like King Crimson). Ouch. And ...

I was at the 2007 show with my wife.

Just posted on the footy thread in The Annex. Took about 2 minutes to go through. Using Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.5, running Firefox.

You nailed that one!

BTW I think my comments were made before our first meeting earlier in the season, so slightly out of context, but what the hell.

Not that I can tell.

I've been slowly getting into this over the past few days. "Jimmie" is a fantastic song - one of EC's best in a long long time. Unfortunately I only have the vinyl and my pre-amp went tits up, so until I have a replacement later this week I won't be able to dive in further. I do find it sl...

Went gift certificate shopping today on Amazon and picked up the Arcade Fire, Ray Lamontagne and The National albums. Also got The Walkmen's "Lisbon" and Mark Lanegan/Isobel Campbell's "Hawk" based on friends' recommendations.

Not purchases per se, but my sis sent me Peter Case's "Wig!", The Feelies' "Crazy Rhythms" and Robyn Hitchcock's "Goodnight Oslo" for my b-day.

i could tolerate the pedestrian stylings of andrea bocelli being ALL OVER THE DAMN CHRISTMAS PLACE if they weren't in english since it is he doesn't speak english. it is more painful than josh groban. no, really. if i wanna hear o holy freakin' night, i'll listen to dean freakin' martin.

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much! Don't feel a day over 42!

Wow, very nice work. Looks like everyone had a great time. Congratulations again!

Not sure I have ten, but I liked these:

1) The Black Keys - Brothers
2) Broken Bells - s/t
3) Vampire Weekend - Contra
4) Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
5) Joe Pernice - Goodbye Killer
6) Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - I Learned the Hard Way
7) Laura Veirs - July Flame

Picked up the latest Gorillaz album for $5.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. Also got Broken Bells and the vinyl reissue of Pavement's Brighten the Corners when I was up in Toronto.

RIP. Very funny dude.
