there's a couple others I believe. I love it here, I love Macon, I just feel I've experienced everything this place has to offer. I've been to just about every place the south has to offer, period.

I've just got friends in that area and an opportunity I'd be foolish to not take advantage of.

I'll def. be back from time to time.

Macon is gorgeous. Very small, yet intimate/close musical community. Everyone plays in everyone elses band at some point kinda place. Just a bit burned out on it.

I see...what neighborhood?

ann ashtray 06.03.2012 05:44 AM

Lakeview. Roscoe Village is the immediate neighborhood.. I'm moving in with a friend of mine. POSSIBLY a job already lined up, too.

Yeh...area isn't bad. I used to live a little northwest from there. (Albany Park)

Quite easy to get around too.

EVOLghost 06.04.2012 08:21 PM

What savage said. Funny I saw a thunderbolt pagoda record at Logan hardware. Also reckless in wicker park isn't too bad.

floatingslowly 06.04.2012 09:45 PM

I cherish my Thubfervolt Pagoda Lp like I cherish my penis.

Jim at Logan is our main national distro guy He is also hilarious and awesome.

themawt71 06.05.2012 09:42 AM

if dusty groove is still there it's pretty good. it's just south of wicker park or in the southern part of wicker park.

have fun in chicago. it's beautiful there!

EVOLghost 06.05.2012 05:13 PM

Yeh just south of it pretty much. And also some of Chicago's best tacos! La pasadita is the place to eat if yer near division and Ashland.

Reckless isn't bad, but the dude that works the counter can be a bit abrasive. Especially when you want to sample and he's certain you're going to fuck up a cd just by breathing on it.

Anyhow, the cynic in me is weary of the "urban, eclectic, artsy vibe" that Chicago is supposed to embody. I've learned that it's possible to be overly inundated by a community of roguish artistes, and frankly, at this point they can unceremoniously blow me. Chicagoans are always trying to go that next step further, break that next boundary, advance the avant garde. This assault on the intellect and senses has personally left me desensitized and apathetic.

I've decided that creativity is masturbatory, overdone, and often ineffective.

GIVE UP. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL.

Welcome to Chicago!

I don't think Chicago is alone in that at all. Better that, than a community that has little-to-nothing to offer in the way of art.
