Can I pull off the craziest Saturday in the history of histories? I’ve booked myself solid this Saturday, and not really by choice. Okay, so partly by choice. It starts mid-afternoon with a bachelor party. You may be wondering why a bachelor party is happening in the middle of the afternoon. Well, it’s only the kick off to several hours worth of activities planned that go well into the overnight hours. After spending a few hours pre-drinking there, I’ll skip down to Grant Park for a charity walk. That will take a couple hours, and after some post-walk drinks I’ll cruise over to Schubas for the Chad Valley show. In other words, the day goes as follows: debauchery + drinking –> charity + drinking –> concert + drinking. One common thread there, my friends. I promise I’m not an alcoholic (this is something an alcoholic would say). Hahaha. Anyways, my Saturday will be busy. I hope you’ve got some equally wild plans lined up. If not, maybe some new music will keep you occupied. Please enjoy this set, with highlights coming from Alexx Foxx, Brooke Sharkey, CHamberlin (covering Paul Simon), The Eeries, Gospel Claws, Mice Parade and Romans. In the Soundcloud section let me recommend streaming Tim Hecker’s remix of Holy Other, and a new one from Icona Pop. Have a great (and safe) weekend!
