I don’t miss the place the way my partner does. Usually. But I just assembled a playlist on the computer w/ all the chicago punk bands I have. It’s so, so good. Bittersweet. Evokes a genuinely painful homesickness that’s only partially nostalgia.
Along the same lines, these made my day, by a guy my same age. Listing a lot of the same bands who I’m all “fuck yeah” over. Fuck yeah.
