The Brotherhood of Satan






Happy new year everybody. Chicagoans, I had a good time in your fair city and ate many of your tacos and pancakes. Such a great place to visit.

While I was away I watched The Brotherhood of Satan from 1971, which doesn't sound like uplifting Christmas viewing but actually is. If you like covens and vengeful dolls possessed by spirits and psychedelic dream sequences then this one is for you. Really beautiful film, and beautiful music by Jaime Mendoza-Nava.

  2. I liked walking around Ukranian Village/Wicker Park. The tacos at Big Star were awesome. We spent a bunch of time at the little shops on Division. There's a craft store called Renegade Handmade that we really liked, and pancakes next door at Milk & Honey. It was nice to finally visit Dusty Groove records in person, and there was another good shop that I think was called Permanent Records? We wanted to visit Pilsen but it seemed like a trek.
