Clockwork Vaudeville and The Face of Steampunk in Chicago
What’s up with this alternate reality Ren Fair dance party? Why did fifty dudes in capes and canes and fifty broads in corsets and feathers just show up at my favorite bar? Are they magic? Is this Hogwarts? Did I hit my head really hard and start hallucinating an alternate reality?
Your questions (and more!) answered within.

We in the Midwest: Juke Vs Witch House: Nothing is Real and Everything is Awesome
Genres are nothing but artificial constructs, but then again what isn’t, amirite? Is juke a real thing or just a word dummies use to describe ghetto house? Is witch house something Pitchfork created to further the already over-segmented world of dark music/rock music/lo-fi music or is it a point of coming together of for people who adhere to a series of aesthetics not addressed by prior simplifications like goth?
A little bit of me thinking too much and a lot of great, free, new music from DJ Rashad, DJ Spinn, Hollywood Holt, SSION, Juiceboxxx, Dirty Diamonds, and Starfoxxx.
Put some soul in your summer
GlitterGuts is all about soul music. Northern soul, southern soul, mod soul, blue-eyed soul, psychedelic soul, Vegas grind, Philly soul, Motown, Stax, Chess, neosoul, doo wop, funk, R&B, Bobby Brown-and-Boyz II Men-and-Bel Biv Devoe-style new jack swing and whatever the hell you wanna call the crazy crap R. Kelly Does.
After two years of waiting to hook up with some soul parties, and nothing coming together we’ve finally decided to throw a couple of our own. We’re starting August with an 18+ soul dance party in Pilsen and ending it with a 21+ event at Late Bar.
The Neon Apocalypse is coming
The End of the World Dance Party has been laying low for a while, and it’s coming back with a vengeance. The Neon Apocalypse is a plastic fantastic party dedicated to the joys of fabrication, nihilism, bright colors, loud music and sex.

We in the Midwest: 100+ Years of Chicago Music
Chicago hosted the last great World’s Fair.
In my lifetime, it has been home to the best basketball player in the history of the game, the richest and most powerful woman in the history of the media, multi-faceted weirdo geniuses like Ed Paschke, Steve Albini, R. Kelly, Cynthia Plaster Caster, Divine and Henry Darger, sports dynasties, political dynasties, and the first multiracial president of the United States. Home to some of the best food and worst politicians in the nation. New types of theatre, comedy, and literature were born here.
The windy city. The city by the lake. The city of big shoulders. Hog butcher. Tool maker. Stacker of wheat. Here’s 100 years worth of songs about shaking your ass til your’e wet enough to fuck.

Video Party: Sandwiches
I was going to throw a NSFW tag up in the title, but fuck it. Even the G-rated parts of this website are NSFW. It’s pictures of people at parties and shit, and if your bosses see you looking at it, they probably won’t like it.
This video is a tribute to ealy John Waters: it’s got a bad ass soul cut running throughout. There’s partial nudity, full-on nudity, bad acting, cannibalism, and ultraviolence. Everything I love.
