the good chicago bands are ratboys circuit des yeux ryley walker bunny varsity bitchin bajas vv lightbody Not only is this list 100% correct, but it's basically already ranked in terms of good-ness Ehhhhhhhhhh I think Bunny is kind of bad, at least live. Not to be confused with Bad Bunny, who is good.

I'll add that Health & Beauty are also great (and playing WHPK Summer Breeze! This Saturday!)
Also great are: Negative Scanner Flesh Panthers Bleach Party
And Chicago-adjacent, but Cut Worms have a record out on Jagjaguwar this week that I still need to get around to.

I'd disagree - had a great time seeing Bunny play a 20-25 minute set back in January. I would say that Varsity is better at this moment though - but I could see Bunny pulling together a stellar LP eventually.

Oh! And he's not so much a "band" per se, but Advance Base is probably my favorite Chicago songwriter of the moment. Caught him as an opener three times last year. Dude makes beautiful and sparse sad-man music with synths and a deep baritone voice. Also runs his own label (Orindal Records) and should have a new album out sometime this year.
RIYL: Early Magnetic Fields, feeling alone, etc.

Thanks all. I celebrated with a long nap with the cats this afternoon (ruled) and am going to join my family for a nice dinner later. Finding this board while I was still a student may not have made amazing GPA sense, but I've been aware of a million more shows because of it. To the next adventure!

never heard of her but i see that she just recently posted a video titled "Why 'Depression' Is All In Your Head" and it starts with her saying "oh no i'm making you accountable for your own lives!"
so it sounds like she just gets off on tone deaf videos like that.

According to the Detroit Free Press and the Lansing State Journal, Michigan State has agreed to settle the lawsuits filed by hundreds of women who have said they were sexually abused by Larry Nassar for $500 million. From tuition dollars and state aid mostly. Plus an additional 75 million for anyone who comes forward later.

yes
A Russian woman is claiming to be the oldest person in the world, but says her upcoming 129th birthday is nothing but 'punishment'.
Koku Istambulova, from Chechnya, says she has not had a single happy day in her entire life, and has no idea how she has managed to live this long.
'Looking back at my unhappy life, I wish I had died when I was young.
