The Watch List


Listening:
1. Pillars and Tongues: This is music explores you while you try to imagine how it was created. This Chicago trio is making some of the most inventive music in town. Their latest album Protection was released by a local label on October 14th. Listen to: Hall of Bliss (mp3)
2. oRSo: Chicago's Phil Spirito has a scary beard and a magical sound. Back in September he released a hypnotic mix of tenor banjos, soft organs, muted brass, and calm harmonies called Ask Your Neighbor. Listen to: See Me (mp3)
3. Gladshot: Debbie Andrews and Mike Bixwell make sugary pop music. This New York duo released their latest album Burn Up & Shine on October 14th. Listen to: All I Want is You (mp3)

Reading:
1. Live Young by Jennifer Gravely: This one was a tough one, but the subject matter was well handled. I love Fiction at Work, btw. The "Boss!" button rocks!
2. Scratches of Hope by Aimee Wilkinson: "One of these days she will win back all the sacrifices she gave throughout her life. "
3. Different from Dickinson by Eleanor Ellis: "and I sat there, quivering like underdone jello"
4. Yakaterina Golubeva by Jac Jemc: Almost as fascinating as her stories are tales of her rejections detailed on her blog.
5. The Little Mogul by Thomas Sullivan: This draws upon the huge amount of loss associated with gain.
6. Spilled Milk by Joanne Faries: A child's memories of his Grandmother.
7. Norm MacDonald by Ellen Kennedy: "Norm Macdonald walks into a Gamestop. Norm Macdonald buys himself a Nintendo DS Lite."
