A few other shout-outs!
I figured since I mentioned and linked Brian's band earlier, I should do the same for a few other friends.
My old homey Brendan, now in Chicago, plays bass in a band called The Tax that plays some great R&B/mod influenced rock.
My pal Dan, in Milwaukee (notice how much cooler Milwaukee's website looks compared to Chicago's), does all kinds of arcane electronics and synths for ESVC, which I believe stands for Experimental Sound and Video Collective, which pretty much explains their sound.
Dan used to be in another band in Milwaukee that I guess you could say I'm friends with, since I was friends or acquaintances with them the last time I saw any of them, and they played a couple gigs with Quisling. Actually, Bill, this band's bassist, who I remember as a really decent guy is also in ESVC with Dan. Anyway, THIS band is AluminumKnotEye and they play some kick-ass, fucked-up, noise rock. I am very grateful to Keith, their vocals and also one of their guitars, for sending me free a copy of their recent CD, which is excellent.
Finally, my old pals Greg and Matt Peters, who also live in Chicago now, and who have collaborated on many other worthy projects in the past, are currently doing probably their most unique and unanticipated project yet. It's called Remember The Maine and it consists of Matt playing marimba, Greg singing, and some guy I don't know named Mr. Richardson playing accordion. All the songs are covers, old timey songs from the turn of the century. The turn of the 19th to the 20th century. It's the shit man, go listen to the mp3s Matt's posted on the page I linked!

Dawg - I play the xylophone in this context, we are writing songs. We're writing strange songs.
