Comment:

Fuzzed-out and funked-up Chicago area artists of the 60's & 70's. Based on the semi-regular Chicago Reader comic of the same name by Mr. Plastic Crimewave. Thanks to Valis for bringing the Lemondrops & P the Swede for providing plenty of Terry Callier to choose from.

Looking forward to this. The .ace file makes me think of the Chicago Aces, which is part of the secret history of Chicago sports of the same decade.

Mr. Plastic shows the way, again. The man is undervalued outside his niche! lo-fi, this one's a keeper and throws a spotlight on some truly unknown artists who have a catalog which should be studied alongside others deemed more worthy. The Lemondrops knock my socks off. Another "shoulda' been" story.
SALUTE!

Chicago has more going for it than the coastal contingent suspects. (And more than I knew: I knew JB Hutto was a Chicago boy, but I always thought HP Lovecraft came out of the swamps of Cthulhuu . . . )
