chi.now&then is also found at Jason’s site: www.restructures.net

chi.now&then continues the tradition of Seth Tisue’s Chicago Now -
selected creative music performances without regard to categories.
When I took over, I ASKED him what his preference was regarding use of
the name Chicago Now, which he clearly tributed to Mark E. Smith.
"Authorship" is not an issue, but the common respect that one normal
human being shows another is an important question, and on too
many occasions to mention the answer has been all too apparent.
And so, this is the last week for HotHouse listings in chi.now&then.

remember the cost in lives is much higher than the cost in dollars

NEWS, Highlights, Updates & Corrections:

- in memory of Steve Lacy
www.savagesound.com/archives/most-recent.htm

- Vandermark 5 and Atomic (Magnus Broo, Ingebrigt Haker Flaten,
Fredrik Ljungkvist, Paal Nilssen-Love, Haavard Wiik) Double Bill Tour
comes to town this Friday & Saturday at the Green Mill -
 " ... connected to this tour is a special project instigated by the visual
artist, Dan Grzeca. With the help of Kurt Kellison of Atavistic, Dan has
coordinated nearly two dozen artists around North America to create
posters and hang them in their locations throughout the length of the
trip. All of these works are going to be collected and put in a box like
a suitcase entitled, 'Flammable Materials.' In addition, a live recording
of performances by the V5 and Atomic from their Green Mill concerts
will be included in the box. There will be a limited set of about 150
copies of the box for sale through Atavistic for avid collectors."

- the Chicago Jazz Festival schedule is up, congrats Jeb Bishop Trio!
obviously there will be some changes due to the passing of Mr. Lacy

NEWS, Highlights, Updates & Corrections:

- has there ever been a festival as lame as Taste of Chicago? there's just nothing like bulk food from a tent, enhanced by the delicate wafting odor of asphalt, surrounded by gluttonous yokels grunting along to the tired strains of Peter Frampton - like a cub-scout picnic in a parking lot -
What an embarassment, it's enough to give lowest-common-denominator-inbred-hick-idiot-small-town-mayor-of-a-big-city a bad name - shouldn't all his cronies be rich enough already? come on....
Bring back Jane Byrne, and give us back our parking spaces, too
