Let me be the first to wish all of our readers a very merry Thanksgiving holiday. While you’re stuffing your gullet with turkey and dressing, we’ll be here all holiday long providing you with the latest Chicago music news and reviews. Also, beginning in December, we’ll start our best of the decade/best of the 2009 lists. So that’ll be fun.
This weekend, we’re spotlighting tonight’s Pixies’ show, Peaches and Permanent Records Third Anniversary Bash at The Hideout.
But before we get to our picks for top weekend shows, a reminder: Loud Loop Radio will once again grace the intertubes tomorrow, Saturday, November 21, at 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. CST on Radio DePaul. We’re going to review the Them Crooked Vultures album, so that should be fun. Joining me in the studio this Saturday will be Loud Loop associate editor Andy Kahn.
Let’s get to it, shall we?

We’ve already given you a preview of what’s playing in Chicago on New Year’s Eve. We’ve told you about the new club opening up Lincoln Hall and all the great acts scheduled to play there in the coming weeks. Our Daily and Weekly Diversions keep you informed of what’s on the horizon.
But still, we here at Loud Loop Press felt there were just too many great shows coming up in this fair city of ours that we didn’t want you to miss out on. Below is a compilation of big name concerts we’re spotlighting for the coming months. There’s a little something for everyone, from KISS to Bob Dylan, Scott Lucas to Snoop Dogg and everyone else in between. Maybe we missed a show, if you think we did let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Brendan Benson’s career path has been a roller coaster of lows such as label disputes keeping records in limbo, and mild highs including the track “Tiny Spark” from his 2002 album Lopalco’s being used in a Saturn ad. Recently, though, his profile got a bit brighter when he teamed up with Jack White to form the super’ish group, The Raconteurs. So, despite putting out three truly great but minimally heard albums, starting with 1996’s totally ignored One Mississippi, an album deemed by my friends at the time as the greatest $2.99 cut-out money could buy, now seemed the time for Benson to finally break through. Unfortunately, My Old, Familiar Friend is not quite the album fans might have hoped for. It, like Benson’s career, is filled with some highs but is fleshed out with a few too many lows.
