David Byrne, Sarah Silverman, Billy Corgan, More Tap into the Unconscious at Carl Jung Red Book Discussion

When psychoanalyst Carl Jung found himself face-to-face with haunting visions and inner voices, he did not bow down. Instead, he proceeded to document and decipher his battles for 16 years.

Eddie Vedder Vs. The World: A Butcher Ranks the Many Beefs of Pearl Jam's Frontman

Eddie Vedder beefs with the best of 'em.  From his quarrels with Ticketmaster to drunken barfights, Vedder’s been involved in one beef or another for much of his long career, and he’s more apt to tackle it swinging on the rafters than sitting down. But which of Vedder’s beefs have been truly palatable morsels and which are just throwaway scraps? To sort through all the beef, we turned to an expert. Lynne Sawicki of Sawicki’s Meat, Seafood and More (an establishment which, it should be mentioned, makes a damn fine sandwich) in Decatur, Ga. weighs in on each of a...  read more

Live Review: Smashing Pumpkins @ Chicago Theatre, 11/19/08

There was something off about the Smashing Pumpkins’ second of two sold-out hometown shows on its so-called Twentieth Anniversary Tour-- in particular, the math. The lineup performing that night only had half the original members, and if you subtract the band's 2000-2006 hiatus, its time “together” totals a mere 14 years. Then there's the bizarre fact that it took Billy Corgan and company two years to return home for a show....  read more

Smashing Pumpkins announce 20th Anniversary Tour, live DVD

(The closest the Pumpkins have come to playing in Chicago since announcing their reunion three years ago right here was this summer's appearance at Indiana's Horseshoe Casino, which isn't just kinda-not-Chicago; it's not even in Illinois.)...  read more
