L.A. Seitz of Chicago: Eleanor Friedberger @ the Hideout - 7/20/11
http://laseitz.blogspot.com/2011/07/eleanor-friedberger-hideout-72011.html
LA Seitz of Chicago. From a mess to the masses. Thursday, July 21, 2011. Eleanor Friedberger @ the Hideout - 7/20/11. Last night she hit the stage without the security of a fellow performer and played an interesting mix of album tracks, Fiery Furnaces classics, new tracks that aren't on the album, and even a cover of a Spoon song, which she introduced as a song written by "the guy that licks my face" in the video for her first single "My Mistakes" (below). I Won't Fall Apart on You Tonight. Tropical Icel...

LA Seitz of Chicago. From a mess to the masses. Wednesday, March 02, 2011. Maybe it was the inevitability of the thing, or maybe I've just consumed a few thousand gallons of alcohol since it happened, but I don't recall the level of reaction in the Halosphere, such as it was, to Tim Salmon's retirement as there has been to Garret Anderson's retirement. Maybe it's because there's been a lot of coverage at the OC Register's excellent blog. That's not a criticism, it's just an observation. Game six of the 2...

L.A. Seitz of Chicago: Pujols and Wilson and Hawkins, oh my !
http://laseitz.blogspot.com/2011/12/pujols-and-wilson-and-hawkins-oh-my.html
LA Seitz of Chicago. From a mess to the masses. Thursday, December 08, 2011. Pujols and Wilson and Hawkins, oh my! Here are some quick thoughts on the Angels' flurry of activity in the last 48 hours. Albert's contract is an overpayment that will look pretty bad in four or five years. And that being the case, who the hell cares? Latroy Hawkins is going to feel really out of place at that press conference. How would you like to be Jerry DiPoto? You finally get your first real GM job, and take over a relati...

L.A. Seitz of Chicago: The Year in Music: The Year in Live Shows
http://laseitz.blogspot.com/2011/12/year-in-music-year-in-live-shows.html
LA Seitz of Chicago. From a mess to the masses. Tuesday, December 06, 2011. The Year in Music: The Year in Live Shows. Exactly one year ago, I posted about the year in live shows, 2010. Following the same format, here's the rundown on 2011, keeping in mind that I still have tickets for two upcoming shows: the War on Drugs @ Lincoln Hall (12/7), and Joy Formidable @ the Metro (12/15). Shows attended: 54 (plus two remaining), which means I'll beat last year by about 10. Lincoln Hall - 20. Empty Bottle - 5.

L.A. Seitz of Chicago: Vernon
http://laseitz.blogspot.com/2011/01/vernon.html
LA Seitz of Chicago. From a mess to the masses. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. We've all read a lot in the last few days about the Vernon Wells trade, and now that Mike Napoli has ended up with the rival Rangers, things break down as such:. Angels get Vernon Wells and will owe him roughly $20MM per over the next four years to probably play left field. They lose Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera, both defensive butchers with power bats and the ability to draw a walk. Rangers get Napoli and lose Francisco. Wells is ...
