yesterday a neighboring street had a block party featuring a cover/karaoke band. it was mostly standard cover band fare ("barracuda", "piece of my heart", "i'm just a girl", "everlong", etc.) but also "black sheep" by metric.

I am taking my kids camping for the first time later this month. We've got a spot in the mountains about 10k feet up and fires are allowed within the campsite. Psyched for s'mores and to wake my children up at 3am to see the Milky Way. This was a ton of fun. Stars did not disappoint and they came out pretty early. Also went on a really beautiful hike on the Colorado Trail near Kenosha Pass. We also camped next to a group that had some incredibly funny high conversations the first night we were there. Guy 1: I find comfort in the fact that every time I see Kevin Costner is in a movie it's going to be good. *full 15 seconds of silence* Guy 2: I fucking disagree, man.

My little girl, who most of you saw at Pitchfork around 11 or 12 years ago, is moving to college tomorrow. Of course she managed to pick the move in time during one of the worst heat waves of the year…
For those who don’t know, she’s heading to Columbia downtown, so she won’t be far away at least. And I keep threatening that I’ll stop by every time I have a show.

i went to the mets/sox game last night and was blown away by how many people were wearing pearl jam shirts.
i think there were 6 people just on my train car headed over there, and noticed at least 20 more between the train and stadium as well as many in the ballpark. pretty even split between mets and sox fans and unaffiliated.

Any of y’all have a mattress you particularly love? We got a Dreamcloud last year for 50% off on a President's Day deal. Iirc it was based on a NYT Wirecutter rec. Really good for the price.

Any of y’all have a mattress you particularly love? we returned an avocado and got a saatva classic. it's been a huge upgrade. however, we recently stayed in an airbnb that had a nectar mattress and we loved it.

Does anyone know of/remember a Chicago band, all women, name ended in -fork? Was just chatting with my neighbor in the alley and he said his daughter is?/was the drummer in said band so now I'm kinda trying to figure out who they would be. He said they played a lot all over the city, and his daughter must be around my age so could be from a few years back.

"My daughter's in a local band, you should check them out!"
"What's the name of the band?"
"Oh, I have no idea. Forky? Forks? Something with fork."

Rebecca Gates formed the Spinanes in the Pacific Northwest, I believe, Oregon, but sometime in the late 1990's moved to Chicago, and toured with a different lineup of the Spinanes. Before she moved, I saw Gates [solo] once, at, I think the empty bottle, as a guest w/ some headliner, and then after she moved here, I saw the Spinanes as they were then constituted, at Reckless Records in Wicker Park.
