Dont know who Don Diablo is? Get down with this...

Sir Reeves pointed out that we need to "educate" our fellow music lovers about the merits of Don Diablo who we are partying with on Dec 10th. All the sudden, I can't stop dancing in my living room. Thankfully, I am fully clothed. But I have a feeling you could get your mate to undress to this one...

A Devilish good party: Don Diablo, Darkwave Disco and Darkroom Demons.

In two weeks, we are going to be tethered to a smashing good time with legendary DJ Don Diablo and Chicago's own prodigal sons Dark Wave Disco at Spy Bar. We need to bring the essence of great music and art back to the clubs and what better way than to cram as many monikers using double down "Ds" onto one flyer. What better way, indeed?

Guess what we did this weekend....

More to come from the Chicago's fortunate sons Alkaline Trio....

Signs of the Apocalypse: This week's strangest parties

Its never in good taste to berate our clients. Instead, we are going to promote what is certainly the strangest pair of parties all week, both which can be found at River North's super club, enclave. First off, Cascada is coming to lip synch all of your favorite anonymous club anthems on Thursday, which will probably cause all the Ed Hardy and Affliction shirts to pop off each 'roided flexed chest in a cacophony of "Bro!!!!" calls during "Evacuate the Dancefloor." As if it couldn't get any stranger, The Liposuction Cosmetic Institute is hell-bent on convincing the already grotesque and insecure clientele that they are in desparate need of some sort of reconstructive adjustment, whether it be nose, breasts, abs, ass or even calves. The butchers are coming so if you're set on upping your own personal evolution, this party is for you.

Oh, and rest assured. Sir Reeves will be there capturing everyone.

Best Bets: Parties of the week

This week there's a few tasty treats that have our livers pulsating with the sickening sound of pure thirst. Butthole Surfers are gonna be at The Metro Wednesday evening, Richie Rich and Pamela Anderson are gonna be showing The Horseshoe Casino's Venue their hipster meets aging icon sensibilities to whomever makes the trek to Indiana on Friday evening and finally Aoki returns for a tete a tete with Trancid, Corner and Gertz at Crobar on Saturday Night. Where are you gonna be?

Q101's Electra and Jaime Black

Last week we had the incredible pleasure of sitting next to Clayton Hauck and have a fire-less fireside chat into a couple of microphones with the extremely talented writer and Local 101 host, Jaime Black. Ever the purveyor of Chicago music and the lifestyle that surrounds it, Jaime runs a blog called Chicago Verse United which serves as a waypoint for his passions between his tireless efforts to unearth everything and everyone that is trying to make Chicago great. Clayton and I get down into the nitty gritty of who where what and why we do what we do.

And now a word from our Sponsor: Tron on Ice!

So Heaven Malone from Chicago Suicide Club just sent me a message that he saw Disney's Magic Kingdom on Ice in 1983 which featured a lengthy Tron segment. Neon, sequins and Christmas lights, oh my! I nearly peed myself when I found the commercial on youtube. Then I got wind of this techno recap of the original movie by Shinjiro. Music ain't all that, but its got the meat and potatoes of the film in 5 minutes if you have no idea what I'm rambling about.
