On Saturday, nearly two weeks after beloved Chicago venue the Hideout reopened for outdoor events following a 16-month shutdown of music clubs due to Covid-19, Jon Langford’s Pine Valley Cosmonauts celebrated the release of their Tom Waits tribute album The Closing Time. Benefiting Chicago Independent Venue League’s (Civl) Save Emergency Relief Fund, the limited-edition vinyl album is now available. While their return to the stage marked one of the city’s first independent music venue shows since reopening, the lockdown never stopped Chicago’s music community from rallying in creative ways.

When a band has lasted 44 years, there’s no reason a global pandemic should keep it down. Mekons, the routinely brilliant, never famous punk-folk-country-etc. collective, had planned to a session for its new album in April, in Valencia, Spain. When Covid-19 arrived, they cancelled the session but not the album, adopting a 21st-century version of the “exquisite corpse” method of art-making for some of the songs.

Elisabeth Moss confessed what she thinks of her ex-husband Fred Armisen, but how does he feel about their 8-month long marriage?
Terrible.
The "Saturday Night Live" star, 46, who married the "Mad Men" actress in October 2009, only to end the relationship in June 2010, admits he was a crappy husband. In an interview with Howard Stern on his Sirius Xm radio show in early January, Armisen discussed how he feels about Moss' comments on their short-lived union.

"... You must have been a terrible husband," Stern added, as Armisen answered, "I think I was a terrible husband,...
