Your Monday Evening News

Looks like I might be changing my posts around here at Scents & Subtle Sounds, so stay tuned. I had a really good weekend and got to relax a bit. I did make it to Goose Island to try the Sai-Shan-Tea, but wasn't really impressed. They really need to get Fleur back in stock! I am really looking forward to this Friday as I will be heading to South Bend, IN after work to catch Wilco play their last Midwest performance of the year. I hope everyone had a great Monday!

• Kings of Leon sure put on a shit show in St. Louis
• Widespread Panic paid tribute to the pigeons of St. Louis
• Expect to see some Gorillaz tour dates announced soon
• U2 and Spiderman will join forces on Broadway
• Consequence of Sound really like the new Arcade Fire record
• Are The Cars the next band to jump on the reunion bandwagon?

Panic In Chicago This Weekend

For the last five years, Widespread Panic has made the Chicago Theatre their home in Chicago. Starting tomorrow, the band will take to the historic Chicago venue for three shows. Tickets are available for the first two nights, but the Saturday show is sold out.

Saturday afternoon before the show, you can catch JB throwing out the first pitch at the Chicago Cubs vs. Philadelphia Phillies baseball game at Wrigley Field! Game starts at 12:05pm CT.

Thank Boosh It's Friday!

It's been a pretty hectic last couple days for me. On Wednesday, I scored all ten of the Phish shows I was hoping for this summer! Yesterday, I became a home owner for the first time! I am really excited, so it's going to be a pretty busy month for me. I celebrated by heading to Goose Island where I had a taste of the CBC IPA and tried the delectable Chicago Star IPA. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

• The Mighty Boosh to appear at London Apple store
• Decemberists in the studio with R.E.M.'s Peter Buck
