CHIRP: The Chicago Independent Radio Project

Dan Wallace is....

Seeing as my house is on the corner of a fairly busy intersection here in Chicago, I tend to get a LOT of flyers and menus stuck to my door. Most times it’s just another Thai or Pizza place wanting me to order their delivery. Yesterday however I got something slightly out of the ordinary. Tucked nicely into my door frame was a 4×9 card advertising an upcoming CD release show show for an artist named Dan Wallace at Martyrs’.

There was a nifty little press quote that describes Wallace’s music: “If you listen to Dungen, The Shins, The Eels and Zappa, then add this man to your collection of unerring folk pop music.” – Glasswerk National.

Admittedly i’ve never heard of Glasswerk National, but I do like Dungen and the Shins….not sure how Zappa fits into the equation.

As with most things (ok, everything) stuck to my door, I was about to throw this away, when I noticed a hand written note on the back side

Now why exactly would I want to check out Dan Wallace if he’s annoying?

Or maybe that’s amazing.

If the person writing this note can’t even be bothered to sign it, then I can’t be bothered to check out this musician.

I’ll leave that up to you.
