Chicago -
A Visit To Paradise
From the YouTube channel of Selectively Mute this week:
“The wonderful Mike Scott was doing a bit of a book signing at Readings Bookstore in Carlton, Australia. He was reading antidotes from his new autobiography Adventures Of a Waterboy. In this video he talks about his experience visiting a gospel church in Chicago.”

A loose collection of whatnot.
1. “The friends and family of John Giovannoni, former co-owner of The Music Room in Palatine, will gather this weekend to celebrate the local man’s life,” PalatinePatch notes.
“As a way to honor Giovannoni’s dying wish to forgo a funeral and memorial service and instead throw a party, friends and family have organized a ‘Celebration of the life of John Giovannoni‘ for this Sunday, Feb. 17, according to the Daily Herald. Giovannoni, 45, died on Jan. 13, according to his obituary.”

1. Despite Pete Wentz telling fans recently not to hold their breath about a Fall Out Boy reunion, the band is back with a new single and an album (Save Rock And Roll, ugh, from a band whose celebrity bass player married Ashlee Simpson) in the can. Personally, I don’t care a rat’s ass about Fall Out Boy, but for posterity, here they are at their “surprise” show at Subterranean on Monday night.
