Back in 2000, Yow freelanced at the same company as was at. This was a pretty corporate Ad agency. Only me and other guy had any idea who he was. Complete opposite of what I've know of him. Quite and polite!?

Our big joke was have the female coworkers go ask him about the "tight and shiny"

This topic brings back some bad memories. And reminds me why Chicago mostly sucks.

True. Being in Chicago that time suck. Tortoise was the sound of paint drying. That shit was over hyped.

yeah i guess if seeing great shows and buying from an avalanche of cheap, awesome records funneling through reckless meant chicago sucked, then it really sucked. i had no problem seeing gastr open if it meant i got to see voice crack at the bottle, for instance.

That part is true. Yes, Great Shows, but the bands weren't from Chicago. And having Gasto de sol open for every fucking band from 92-94 was bullshit.

Suck it because some of the folks I was friends with drank will that Slint/Tortoise (and Liz Phair) kool-aid. Yeap, thanks for selling me all those great records for a buck a piece.

But, Some of the UK bands on TooPure were labeled postrock had some good stuff.

I like the first Quickspace LP.

Never understood why Bardo Pond and Jessamine always got lumped in with postrock

most of my friends dont give a shit what i have to say about the sweet fucking new Acid Archives 2nd edition or how the version of Sister Ray on the new Quine Tapes seriously kills, so that limits me to about 35% or else it would be a bit higher if i had some enablers around me.

Mine use to higher, I miss working with folks who are into the same music.

I got the most evilest look at work when I said didn't like R@idohead.
