I am currently still in Chicago until Wednesday and am probably too giddy over what transpired over the last 3 days to objectively report on The Touch & Go Records 25th Anniversary Party that just went down. Saw about 18 of the 25 acts over 3 days at the Hideout on Wabansia. Will post plenty of photos and some notes as Scissorkick devotes the entrirety of next week to the world’s greatest rock and roll label. No Slint, no Don Cab, but no bother, since everyone else stepped it up and made it one of the most historic 3-day weekends in indie rock history. Stay tuned.
Scissorkick.com was born within the second wave of music blogs in the late 1990s and is guided by a soundtrack to one mode of contemporary living here in NYC. It is proudly genre-agnostic and on a continuous search for new independent rock and electronic music.

I've been doing scissorkick for nearly 15 years now -- in one form or another. I should post more often, but it's always been more about quality than quantity. It's a love affair that takes less than it gives back and that's mostly thanks to you.
