If anyone needs me this weekend, I’ll be in the Land of Lincoln crossing #12 off this list.
As a side note, I’ve been prepping for the trip by listening to Sufjan Stevens’ Illinois album, which I hadn’t heard all the way through in ages. I’ve lost touch with Stevens’ music in recent years, and I’d forgotten how bonkers-good Illinois is. Makes me wanna give The Age of Adz another shot.
I’m jealous! I can’t remember what store I went to in Chi-town in like 1981. I do remember that I bought The Feelies Crazy Rhythms on import (better pressing), an AC/DC 45 (You Shook Me All Night Long) and a 12″ of this 80’s monster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w4Xulsjo5I Enjoy your trip!
Der Kommissar! That’s so great. I’ll be sure to report back on my acquisitions!
dude the Age of Adz is incredible. Sufjan is a Yoda. also i love you.
