I'd like to take a quick break and give a thank you (for the mention) and shout out to fellow blogger and friend DJ Tanner a.k.a Stewart Kuhlo a.k.a Stew-Lo a.k.a Big Beard Daddy Stew.....alright the last one is fake but the previous ones hold water. Stew and I go back a few years from the time we spent together in Cork, IRE. It's amazing how quickly the only Jews on the trip gravitated to each other. Not only sharing an ancient religion,
but the whole idea of being brought up with guilt and lovingly nagging moms really makes for serious bonding. Stew and I had many adventures; from exploring mountaintops in Dingle (during off-season), trying to find new cds for under €20 in the 2 record stores in town that weren't a Virgin
Megastore or HMV, drinking too much stout, to traveling the Spanish Mediterranean Coast. Along the way I acted as Stew's personal photographer, whipping boy, and traveling secretary. Whew.
All this being said, Stew has finally found a perfect forum to share his ideas on a litany of topics. He now makes his home in Chicago while occasionally working on not working when he's not studying The Law. He's partnered up with a chap calling himself "
Mike Kowieski". That last name is too Polish to be made up, so he has to be the real deal. Mike has had some interesting takes on local Chicago happenings as well as general pieces on music and culture. They've been hitting the blogosphere with a vengeance rarely seen outside Perez Hilton (man I really really despise that dude...not for what he does, but the fact that he's made himself into a millionaire by stealing photos and using the Windows 95 "Paint" application to draw dumb shit on pics of celebs). Anywho. Stew and Mike have set a blistering pace of posting multiple times per day, and have even had a couple guest posts from another hip cat known as "Blogstein" who has chimed in on some weighty issues dealing with the "fairer" sex (actually quite quite amusing).With all this hype and lead-up, I'm telling my 20-30 readers to peep their site on a regular basis and see what they have their fingers in on that day. I've set up a link on the side of this here blog and hope you will consider checking out the super stylings of Two Dope Boys In A Cadillac. It's well written by a couple of people with real opinions without the unnecessary fluff or superficiality or snark of other blogs. CHECK IT.
