A loose collection of whatnot.
1. Billy Corgan is just the worst.
Not even worth dissecting.

2. Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band at Chicago Music Exchange on March 14.



3. Bloodshot Briefing.
Wayne Hancock at City Winery on April 4.
“On February 26, Wayne ‘The Train’ Hancock released Ride, his first album in four years. Ride is Hancock’s eighth overall full-length and fifth for Bloodshot Records.”


Luke Winslow-King at FitzGerald’s on April 4.
“Winslow-King’s work consists of an eclectic mix, taking in delta-folk music, classical composition, ragtime, and rock and roll; juxtaposing original songs with those from a bygone era.”


Andre Williams at the Hideout on April 6.
“The Black Godfather still manages to bring the dirty . . . He’s the fox and the hound.”

Whitey Morgan and the 78s at Cobra Lounge on April 13.
“They haven’t re-invented the wheel. They just picked it up and started it rolling all over again.”


4. The Replacements at the Metro in 1985, uploaded last week.
