Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.

Reminds me a lot of “Baby I’m Just a Fool” by Spiritualized:

Yeah, the intro sounds similar. It’s not as good a song, though. Plus, as I only half-facetiously say, life is too short to listen to a male vocalist. (Exceptions made for Tommy Duncan, Merle Haggard, Lou Reed, Frank Sinatra, Joey Ramone, and a few others … )
Very pretty song. I hope I’m not jinxing her, but she has a TON of the ancient Amy Winehouse feel.
Purely Subjective: I’ll just note that I disagree with your preference for chick singers. Great ones are a nickel a bushel, standout ones are rare.
Hey, thanks for the link!
I totally love female singer-songwriters. When I was younger, I would try and listen to bands that guys around me liked (well, I have a brother and one of his friends went to Berklee – I was trying to impress), and then I finally decided, ‘hey, why don’t I listen to what I like?’
There is so much good creative energy out there. Like all those small mom and pop stores I love, or the creative energy of the business class. I see the same spirits there, especially in the beginning, which is why I kinda dig the whole small gov vibe.
OPS, you should check out Lisa Marr.
That was amazing.
