Delighted to share another mix with you by Jason Reimer. This theory is still a work in progress, but I think what sets Jason’s mixes apart is they ride a nice line between obscurity and accessibility. On the first listen you pretty much instantly think, “I have no idea who this is, but I really, really want to know…” That still doesn’t quite do justice to how nice his track selection is, but you should probably just take a listen.

I’ve been following the “Event Promoters” Ordinance deal here in Chicago pretty closely the last couple of days. It was pretty outstanding to watch the reaction of the music/theater community. A vote on the legislation has been postponed due to said reaction. I happened to catch 47th Ward Alderman, Eugene Schulter, on Chicago Public Radio’s Eight Forty-Eight this evening talking about the legislation. In my opinion, he doesn’t really answer any of the questions posed to him, but take a listen for yourself. Hopefully, the legislation will just die. More than likely it will come back up in a month or so. Please keep an eye out. I fear it could be absolutely crippling for the underground music scene in Chicago.

I’m starting a regular DJ gig at the Streetside Café this Friday. I’ll be doing a 10 to midnight set every third Friday followed by Michael Lacy (who has held down that night for ages). Should be a ball.
