I spoke to Good Luck about their improbable comeback album, Big Dreams, Mister. We also talk about the band's history, what punk felt like in the late aughts, whatever the emo revival was, and so much more.

Recommend folks show up early to see Ache new straight edge band
Crazy that Chicago hardcore band Buggin’ are playing their final show tonight. They’re headlining a Congo/Sudan benefit show at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago—it’s $15, all ages, and starts at 5 pm.

Maybe my fave read of the year. Anthology of a Chicago alt-weekly writer from the 70s-90s.

I didn't really know Jim Howes (@nickhexum311.bsky.social) other than a couple of words exchanged on Twitter, but I liked and wrote about the music they made with Oscar Bait and Resignation and I know they meant a lot to a lot of people on this website. Rest in peace.

The rate at which Chicago hc has been going through DIY venues is hilarious at this point

Hey take a minute to pause from doomscrolling and read about Year 11 of Punk Planet, a year where it’s legitimately impossible for me to believe how much we did. Issues! Books! A whole new magazine! So. Many. Things. dansinker.com/posts/202…
