10 Live Pinback shows from Chicago (and more) - Aadam Jacobs Collection

Greetings, fellow music nerds! I stumbled across the Aadam Jacobs Collection of music a few months ago. He is a prolific live music taper, and over the last 40 years he's taped 10,000+ live shows (mostly in Chicago). So far a team has digitized about 3000 shows and uploaded them to the LIve Music Archive. One of the coolest things is that many of these shows are ridiculously good-sounding soundboard feeds. There's a ton of indie rock, including 10 Pinback shows from 2002-2014 (so far). There are also some Heavy Vegetable, Rob Crow's Gloomy Place, & Thingy shows in there.

While I love the LMA, I detest using it to try to find and listen to music, and so I built my own fansite dedicated to this music where you can listen, discover, and fav bands/shows/etc.

There's a ton of other amazing indie rock in the collection so far from a bunch of bands I love like Rogue Wave, Maritime, Calexico, Ben Folds Five (and solo Ben Folds), Spoon, The Long Winters, and more.

Live Calexico recordings from Chicago

There's this really cool set of live concert recordings from Chicago that are coming out from this legendary taper named Aadam Jacobs. He recorded 10,000+ live shows mostly in Chicago from the 80s through about 2019. There are a few great and high-quality Calexico recordings from 2003-2004 that y'all might like to hear. I made a website to help make it easier to listen to this music called Second City Streamer.

Take a listen and let me know what you think! I love this era of Calexico's music, Feast of Wire is when I really started to listen and see them live (and I still do both of those things).
