Always up for a third Thursday surprise, Courtesy Patrol is playing TONIGHT at Friendly Tap in Berwyn (around 8:30), in a slightly different, one-off formation. Since Chris Neville is out of town negotiating the terms of our upcoming appearance on American Bandstand, Jon Paul, Jason Batchko and myself will be soldiering on as a power trio, focusing on the works of some other rock trios.

I know soufflés can't be reheated, but I think we'd be even more on fire were we ever to hit the road again. Either way, I'll never forget it.

Michael Shannon doesn’t sing R.E.M. songs like he’s studying to play Michael Stipe in a movie; instead, he inhabits every phrase with the fervor of a fan who’s worn deep grooves into his brain with years of close listening.
