Also, do you work w/ any jam style bands and how do you do studio work w/ those bands?

I have worked with Blues Traveler and a few other jam-type bands. Generally, they set up and play live, so they can improvise and free-ball it the way they do onstage. It's a familiar and comfortable way for me to work.

If you're asking if I 'shroom first, then no, I don't 'shroom first.

Vinyl or Digital?

Neither. I go straight for the vagina. You find them on women.

P.S. You going to The Taste?

I've had my quota of REO Speedwagon and Buddy Guy for the year, so I'll pass thanks. Big public scenes full of white hats, guidos and suburban blues fan dorks... no thanks. I'd rather have my nuts crushed in a vise.

Which Chicago rock critic is a bigger douchebag; Bill Wyman, Jim DeRogatis, Greg Kot, or someone else?

Well, Jim DeRogatis is clearly the biggest, and Wyman no longer even pretends to cover Chicago, so he's immaterial. Kot generally has his heart in the right place, though he does fall for sucker bait like the Polyphonic Spree and the like. The dumbest professional music writer in Chicago though is a retard named Jessica Hopper, whose writing is simultaneously sophomoric, vapid and excruciatingly self-satisfied. It is literally impossible to glean any actual content or criticism from her writing, which is an achievement of some sort, I suppose.

also the repeated Urge Overkill disses are gold

Thanks for posting this link. I've read his posts on the first 6 pages so far and it is like he started the thread only to diss Urge Overkill.

Man, this thread is classic.

I actually know Jessica. I like her, but she kinda lost points after the 'omg Stephin Merritt is a racist' tirade.

Hi Steve, I was invited to tag along to one of your poker nights a couple of months ago by a friend of mine (local musician), but I totally chickened out. I only play (very) casually and would be totally out of my league. My friend is extremely easy going, and thought it would be okay.

Should I accept the invitation next time?

Oh absolutely.

[Jigga]

whats going on here?

[6ome 9irl]

I'm down with the majority of Hopper's taste and her love of PJ Harvey and R. Kelly but then I saw all those cats on her blog...

[pong]

I've never read a music critic in my life...

[Burz]

Good stuff. I liked this exchange.

Pro tools or logic? explain plz.

I don't use computers to make records. I use tape machines, like nature intended. I use computers for correspondence, arguments, poker and porn.

Is she really part of a "moped gang"?

Do I remember you talking about "Bone Machine" from that Pixies DVD a coupl'a years back?

Dude, I don't know what you remember. Get real.

Oh, that crowd. All those hipsterettes wanna bone moped- riding Floss-tra-damus Curt so there you go.

you came to the perfect message board then

Tell me about it. I have always been a "music creator" Band-Lifer type. Been in lots of bands, but haven't read many critics. Thinking about starting, though...

EDIT: my new band practices for the first time on Sunday! Totally excited. Tunes from 10 years ago never played liver re-surfacing...

Even worse than Hopper is Julianne Shepherd. I think they're bffs actually.

She writes the "Interrobang?!" column on Pitchfork. Unreadable gibberish.

u and hopper must be the best of friends

[yancy]

Awesome thread. If you told me Deej would post a link to a poker forum on the music side, and it would relate to Chicago music, and be great, I'd have said "that certainly seems unlikely." Too bad 2+2 is blocked at my office. Gotta read that tonight.
