When I got down to Chicago last night, Jake<\/a> informed me that the Pernice Brothers<\/a> were playing at the Empty Bottle, and he was going. Despite having a friend in town, I chose to go to the show. This is a rarity – as a rule, I hate going to see live music. I have to stand, everyone is posing about, it’s smoky, and my ears hurt.<\/p>\n

So that’s how much I was excited about seeing the Pernice Brothers. They were great, even though they didn’t play my favorite song “Our Time Has Passed”. Dino<\/a> and Jake yelled it between songs, but alas.<\/p>\n

Joe Pernice looks a lot like Joe Lindemann, my dad’s friend from up the road.<\/p>\n

I can thank C-ris Weber for introducing me to this song<\/a>. He put together a random sampling of what he had been listening to, back in 2003, and “Our Time Has Passed” was one of the best. The best, of course, was “Canyon Ride” by the Beachwood Sparks.<\/p>\n

He sent me a new bunch of songs, a few months ago, and I’m now very unselfishly going to release the new blow-your-ass-out-your-ass list. Don’t ever say I didn’t do nuthin’ for you.<\/p>\n
