hi, I composed the score music for this film, Burt.
it's a beautiful movie with a huge heart. great to see it on the big screen with an audience. I'll be at the Q&As with the filmmakers if you want to ask anything. Hope to see you there!

'There are records that crystallise genres, there are albums that carve out new spaces in established scenes, and there are LPs that, over time, end up symbolising the era in which they were created. Records that create a new musical language... Those are rare.'

A vibrant collage by Tony Fitzpatrick features a peregrine falcon with architectural elements and bold text related to Chicago.
RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

Chicago rock ensemble Red Red Meat hit hard with 1995βs Bunny Gets Paid. The record pairs Stones-indebted blues-rock roots with beautiful songs.

Tim Rutili playing guitar at Babyβs All Right, fractals distorting the photograph in the lower left corner and shattering the light and the guitarβs headstock into dozens of pieces. The light is low and warm for the Califone set. Photo by me.
Tim Rutili playing guitar at Babyβs All Right, blurry with only the edge of headstock in focus. Photo by me.
Tim Rutili looking down playing guitar, eyes obscured by the brim of his hat. His fretting hand pinkie has a steel slide on it. Photo by me.
A shot of Tim Rutiliβs pedalboard, which I mainly took for that bonkers Mood pedal I love. He presses down on a pedal, just above the ornate carpet on the stage. Photo by me.
Califone at Babyβs All Right last night. Oof.

If youβve seen califone in the past few years you have seen Max Knouse playing guitar with us. He can play upside down and inside out with love in his heart and make it somehow totally dreamy and totally fucked. Pick up maxβs new album. It is a beauty π¦β€οΈ

Been listening to the new @califone-timrutili.bsky.social record a bunch since it came out. It also reminded me how much I love this album from Craig Ross and Tim Rutili, so now this is back in rotation, too.
