A Reader staffer shares three musical obsessions, then asks someone (who asks someone else) to take a turn.
Demilich When I previewed the first Chicago show by these veteran Finnish death-metal weirdos, I didn’t get into their dry sense of humor. So here’s my best recollection of my favorite stage banter by front man and guitarist Antti Boman: “We were afraid to play in Chicago because of all the Mafia movies. Children shouldn’t be exposed to such films, don’t you think? But you all seem very nice. Even though you’re all in the Mafia.”

Obe, Har Whenever someone asks me for a music recommendation, I’m increasingly inclined to suggest one of my friends from Chicago, since there are so many talented artists living here. As Obe, Oliver Beltran has been putting out some of my favorite tracks in the past few months. He’s fairly new to producing—he doesn’t have much more than a Soundcloud now—but he already has a refined sound.
