One of life’s biggest tragedies is how the world changes as time passes. Growing older is never fun, but to lose the bastions of your youth as that happens, to have things you loved as a kid go away and disappear, is really sad. That local ice cream parlor you used to frequent in high school, you assumed it’d be around forever for you to visit when you could. Now it’s shuttered and you’ll never get to experience it again. I bring this up because one of my favorite Chicago things, something that has been going strong ever since grade school, is now dying a painful death. As much as people “don’t listen to the radio” anymore, doing so is actually something I enjoy quite a bit. There’s a certain thrill about not knowing what song is coming next, and having a great mixture of old and new stuff. Putting my iPod on shuffle only does so much for me, particularly due to my love of full albums, and I then get stuck in a loop of deep cuts that just don’t fully satisfy out of context. So to put it all together, one of my favorite Chicago radio stations, Q101, is on its way out. In the next couple months it is set to become an all-news 24/7 FM station, giving up the alternative rock that has kept Chicago stable these last couple decades. I love that station, I interned there for 2 years, got to know a lot of the people there and have tried to remain friends with a few of them. To hear both their jobs and the format might be eliminated bothers me quite a bit. I can only hope somebody changes their mind or things turn out well for everyone involved. Pick Your Poison today is more upbeat, and as far as I’m concerned will not be replaced with anything else anytime soon. Highlights include tracks from Apparat, Dustin O’Halloran, Sundress, Washed Out and Widowspeak. In the Soundcloud section you’ll also find a pretty great track from Chicago’s own The Cool Kids and featuring Mayer Hawthorne.

It’s funny to me that the one day of the year with the most sunlight is overcast and rainy in Chicago. Come to think of it, that sounds remarkably accurate in terms of describing the oddities of Chicago weather. Okay, enough about that, let’s get right into Pick Your Poison for today. I’ll give my personal stamp of approval to tracks from Barn Owl, Clams Casino, Pontiak, and Witches.

Welcome back from the weekend. Hope you enjoyed your Father’s Day, whether you are a father or not. Sure, call it a greeting card holiday if you like, but it is just one of two days out of the year where we can show appreciation towards the people that raised us (or didn’t raise us, depending on your situation). Now that we’re back at the grind, the next thing to get excited about comes tomorrow with both the first official day of summer and the summer solstice. It marks the longest day of the year, from a sunlight perspective, so make the most out of it and get outside. Pick Your Poison today is pretty good, so maybe you can scoop up some fresh tunes to listen to during that daytime tomorrow. Highlights include tracks from Banded Stilts, Marlon Rando, Mazes, Prurient, Soft Metals, Twin Sister and Wild Beasts.

Great, fun stuff.

Father’s Day is this Sunday. I hope that if you have a father (or stepfather or grandfather) that you love and respect, maybe show him a little extra bit of that this weekend. I am not a father or uncle or anything else of significance, so I’ve got nothing coming my way, but I’ll be dishing it out. Best of luck to you if you’re a father of some sort this weekend. Unless you’re the deadbeat or abusive kind. Okay, so Pick Your Poison today is another solid Friday edition.

Let’s briefly talk news. Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York finally wound up resigning today. I’m not one to talk politics, particularly because it sparks such debate, but I do want to briefly go into the semantics of a political sex scandal. When talking about politicians and their personal lives, is there anything that says they are required to be of the highest moral fiber and upstanding individuals? Isn’t that what our religious leaders are supposed to be? Last time I checked, there was separation of church and state, which means that if a politician does something immoral such as cheating on a spouse, it shouldn’t make that much of a difference unless that sort of thing affects job performance. Sure, we expect a certain level of decency from our public figures, and hypothetically speaking they’re supposed to be better people than us, representing the good of society rather than their own personal desires. Which is why there is such an outrage when Weiner sends out a lewd photo or Bill Clinton sleeps with an intern. Yet they’re still human and are often subject to greater temptation than the rest of us. I guess what I’m trying to say is that those that are unable to do their job effectively shouldn’t continue to do so, no matter if they’re a complete scoundrel or morally upstanding. The opposite is true too. In the case of Rep. Weiner, it was less the scandal and more the moral outrage caused by the scandal that was his downfall. Had he refused to resign, he might well have become a lame duck Congressman, with colleagues refusing to listen to or support him as a result of this scandal. You can’t get very far in life without the help of some friends, so when your friends abandon you, that ladder climbing comes to a screeching halt. And so it goes. No matter which side of the political aisle you lie on, his resignation was ultimately the right thing to do. Better to give somebody else a shot rather than watch him put up a futile effort against the giant of public opinion that’s near impossible to beat.

Okay, that’s my diatribe for the day. Agree or disagree, you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to. Let’s talk Pick Your Poison. Highlights today include tracks from Braid, Future Islands, Pepper Rabbit, Peter Wolf Crier, Sebadoh and VHS or Beta. Major Lazer’s remix of a Beastie Boys song off their new record (and featuring Santigold) is in the Soundcloud section and is remarkably great as well.

Because it’s summer and I like doing those sorts of things, I went to the movies on a Wednesday evening. “Super 8” was the film of choice, and I feel like taking a second to show appreciation towards it. If you were a fan of a host of Steven Spielberg classics such as “E.T.”, “Jaws” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, there’s a ton to love about “Super 8”. It reaches for that sort of nostalgia and does a great job with it. Spielberg produced it, and J.J. Abrams directed it with that purposeful mentality. The child actors are great, particularly Elle Fanning, and Kyle Chandler is a favorite of mine courtesy of “Friday Night Lights”. It’s some of the most fun you can have amidst a sea of rather tepid movies so far this summer. “Bridesmaids” is another big winner if you ask me. As far as Pick Your Poison goes today, there’s a handful of winners in there too. I can put a stamp of approval on tracks from Appetite, German Error Message, The Mountain Goats, Shimmering Stars, Cloud Nothings side project Total Babes, and The Trophy Fire. There’s also a new Against Me! track in the Soundcloud section if you’re into that sort of thing.

Appetite – Fiery Ring

Caroline Smith – Tanktop
Caroline Smith – Scholarships

Chad Valley – Now That I’m Real (Courtship Remix)

Circuit Des Yeux – 3311

Doug Hoyer – Oh the Wind Will Blow

Futurecop! – The Only Way On Up (Dreams) (SposhRock Remix ft. Keenhouse)

While I try to avoid talking about sports on the site, mainly because I’m not entirely sure how much of my readership actually follows sports (or U.S. sports even), but I want to take a moment to talk NBA playoffs. As you may or may not have heard, the Miami Heat were taken down by the Dallas Mavericks for the championship this year. The odds were stacked against them at every turn, but they overcame those odds and came away victorious. It’s always exciting to see an underdog win, and the Mavs were no exception. That combined with the cocky attitude of Lebron James made for what was almost a sweet humbling of a guy that needs a healthy dose of it. The worst part though came after that last game ended, when Lebron came out and said that everybody that was rooting against him now have to return to their “pathetic” lives and jobs they don’t like. Seriously, the guy is totally endearing himself to everyone (sarcasm). So I just wanted to say congratulations to the Mavericks for showing that sometimes the good guys do win despite heavy odds in the other direction. Okay, so Pick Your Poison today has another nice assortment of tracks. Highlights include songs from Dark Mean, Hercules and Love Affair, Its Overture and Mothers of Gut. Be sure to also have a look at Bjorn of Peter, Bjorn and John’s remix of Architecture in Helsinki, not to mention a cool Iggy Pop live track.

Big music news today, while Bonnarroo is going down: Jack White and Karen Elson are getting divorced. You’d think that’d be a really sad or bad situation, but apparently both parties are totally fine with it. So much so that they’re celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary with a divorce party. That’s not normal, but then again neither are White and Elson. I mean, Jack White started The White Stripes with his first wife Meg after they were already divorced. Most breakups mean you spend LESS time with each other, not more. Next thing you know, White will announce a new band called The Black Stripes or The Elson Stripes and he’ll be teaming up with his brand new ex. Of course she’s got a music career of her own right now, so that would make even more sense. Ah well, whatever. I wish those two crazy kids the best in whatever ventures they choose to embark on, musical or personal. Now on with the Friday edition of Pick Your Poison. Highlights include tracks from Extra Happy Ghost, King Post Kitsch, Matt Bauer (covering Magnolia Electric Co.), S.C.U.M. (as remixed by Grimes). Sun Airway, Telepathe, and Total Warr. In other words, there’s tons of great songs in this set, and sure to add some spice to your weekend. Enjoy!

Yargh. I’ve been so busy lately, and it’s not going to let up until this upcoming weekend passes. Apologies if site updates get a little slower than usual. Still, I will have a Pick Your Poison on the normal Monday – Friday schedule, plus the album reviews I would normally do. Being this sort of busy is a fun sort of busy, so that’s simultaneously inspiring me as well. I’m inspired by a few of the songs in today’s list. Have a look at these ripe for the picking mp3s, with my personal thumbs up going to tracks from The Fruit Tree Foundation (members of The Twilight Sad, Frightened Rabbit, Idlewild, The Delgados, and more), I Break Horses, Pajama Club, Tall Ships and Vandaveer.

Yet another day filled with oppressive heat. I hope you’re drinking plenty of fluids if it’s affecting you. In the meantime, I’m dealing with a pretty smart virus that has infected my computer in the most uncool fashion. I have the know-how to kill it, the whole thing is just a hassle though. Pick Your Poison will hopefully be virus-free, in that none of these mp3s will infect your computer with anything outside of potentially bad or good music. Some of the better parts in today’s set include tracks from The Appleseed Cast, Buffalo Killers, Ford & Lopatin, Jessica 6, Konnichiwa, The Loose Salute and Motorboater. In the thicker-than-usual Soundcloud section, also be sure to stream tracks from Breton and Nik Freitas.

It’s a heat wave across Chicagoland and much of the midwest right now. Temperatures are up in the high 90s with heat indices reaching close to or at 100 degrees. This is August weather for us, not early June. And what happened to spring? Ah well, my view is, better to be hot than cold, and I’m also a fan of air conditioning to help keep things comfortable. Best of luck to you, particularly if you’ve got to spend a lot of time outdoors in this oppressive heat. Pick Your Poison today won’t burn you up today, even though there are some hot tracks in this set. I will say that tracks from Archers of Loaf, Art Brut, Chains of Love, Fonda, Hotel Lights, Love of Everything and Zomby (featuring Panda Bear) all get my personal thumbs up today. That’s a lot of excellence, and the Soundcloud section has more, with Fuck Buttons remixing Sigur Ros’ Jonsi, and Lovedrug doing a surprisingly good cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams”.

Just as a reminder to everyone, especially those that are new to the site, allow me to elaborate on what Pick Your Poison is all about. The grand purpose of this daily mp3 collection is to provide you with a snapshot of all the wonderful new music that is out there and available to you. Every day I get sent so many emails that have so many links to songs that are both worth and not worth hearing, but who am I to filter out the good from the bad? I have my opinions, but something I’d consider to be great might not be the same thing that you consider to be great. The albums I review, that’s a little closer to where the filtering lies. But the hope among all else is that you’ll discover something new and exciting that you’ve never heard before and fall in love with it. I’m simply handing you the key to the door, but you’re the one that has to unlock it and walk through to the other side. The tracks you select for download might sometimes be terrible, in which case you’ll get bitten and hope it doesn’t happen again, but I’d like to think that for every misstep somebody makes there’s at least one right move in there to balance it out. So here are today’s songs, do with them what you please, and I’ll make a couple recommendations just to help you out. Today I’ll say you might want to give a listen to tracks from the following artists: No Big Deal, The Express, Milagres, the supergroup Mister Heavenly, and Spring Skier. In the Soundcloud section you can also stream the new single from Beirut, which is more than worth your time.
