Digging for vinyl

Posted to Jukebox Upchuck by Doug Hoepker on Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 1:00 pm

I've purchased quite a few records lately so I felt a roundup of some of my favorite finds was in order. Between a trip to Rantoul's superb Backbeats, WILL's Vintage Vinyl sale, and the offerings at Exile on Main Street and Parasol, I've loaded up with around 50 slabs of vinyl.

On Princes and Deacons

Posted to Jukebox Upchuck by Doug Hoepker on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 2:00 pm

It has been a good year so far for new music. Sure, there have been some disappointments (Peter, Bjorn and John; The Hold Steady; The Decemberists; U2; Bruce Springsteen). But there have been a greater number of worthy releases from the likes of Super Furry Animals, Camera Obscura, Neko Case, Black Lips, M. Ward, A.C. Newman, Andrew Bird, and Antony and the Johnsons, plus triumphant returns from Morrissey and Charlie Louvin. In this first issue of Jukebox Upchuck, a new …

UPDATE:  Evil Tents have regrettably had to cancel their appearance at tonight’s show.  Closing out this evening’s festivities at Mike N Molly’s will be the ambient noise drone project, Urbana’s own Marathon. Thanks for understanding folks; Evil Tents will be back at MnM’s later this month.  Raincheck.  Cool?  Cool.

An Acoustic Café Evening Tour always promises satisfaction, and with the talent Carrie brings, it will be more than worth the price of admission! Be sure to listen to deliradio.com/carrie-rodriguez to hear more!

Start the clock on when ward’s comment is deleted. Poking fun at the “hipsters” here is blasphemy, you know. At another site, someone—perhaps from here—was playing the usual card of “That band is well-known, so it must suck!” The resulting comment said: “Yeah, I remember the days…

No fair. SP should get a buncha shit for listing The Duke Of Uke as… The Duke Of Yuke, Just like when all the hipsters cry foul and whine like hell if The Buzz make the same error (ie honest mistake). Put it back to YUKE ol’ Seth McFeinstein =)

Nope.  It’s the back (east) side of Urbana Tire Company at 202 S. Vine. How much is a hug and kiss worth?  Do I have to take them all at once or can I break it up?

FACT: Silverfish feed only on carbohydrates, such as starches and sugars.  They will not consume proteins or fats (the main materials from which human beings are constructed). THUS: That was not actually a human waiter we were conversing with, but rather a lifelike simulacrum created from semi-digested Fruit Loops.

Now you will be able to munch on pizza and shrimp cocktails in downtown Urbana (whilst a DJ spins?) after your dissolution of marriage http://www.news-gazette.com/news/business/features/its-your-business/2012-02-05/its-your-business-new-pizza-place-downtown-urban     Is this a franchise of a Reno pizza joint, or just a coincidence of name? http://www.blackrockpizza.com

Signs someone is “fishing” for a factual anchor: 1. Starts call to radio with: “I’ve been an Illini fan for (XX) years” or “I’m a diehard fan,” as if somehow that unverifiable claim will justify the 5 minutes of B.S. that follows. 2. Makes reference to KenPom…

Love CSR.  Apart from making my way through the regular roasts in 1/2 pound increments, I also like to pick up some of the little sample packets of the flavored stuff for when the lady and I feel like getting crazy.  Sticky Bun is pretty nice.

If you happen to be getting a divorce, or fighting a DUI prosecution, downtown Urbana is a great place to eat.

HUUUUUUGE fan of their Black Velvet roast…It makes up about 75% of my coffee intake. LOL CSR is definitely one of those Champaign institutions that I brag about to people not from here. :-)

We like CSR too! We french press at home and I leave the lid off while it steeps—letting the ground beans bloom. Then, like in your tasting, I scoop off the top layer before pressing. We really need to invest in a burr grinder though, as I…
