We love Amy Winehouse as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous. I know she’s not touring much in the US, so spaces are limited. But $600? No effing way. And some hopeful fool is asking $999 for two tickets to her Chicago show at Schubas. What? I wouldn’t pay that much to […]

Those promos on Sirius’ Left of Center that say “great bands existed before (fill in the blank)” annoy the piss out of me.
