Can you see the sunset from the Southside? Can you? I have had a number of people ask me what the name of this blog is all about. I have also had a bunch of people ask why its called “CYSTSFTS” and then tell me how dumb of a name it is. Do you want the story? OK.

If anyone remembers my first post (if you don’t you can find it in the archives sans the posted music) you will recall that the first track I posted was the Lifetime song Ostrichsized. Lifetime was great. The song begins with a great sample from the 1983 Francis Ford Coppola movie The Outsiders. That classic slice of American cinema stared too many young actors to name here, but check the IMDB if you don’t believe me. That is reason number one.

Y’all may or may not know that I am a Cubs fan. Now in Chicago you are either a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan. Sox fans are oftentimes referred to as “South siders” because of the geographic location of their ballpark and the fact that their primary fanbase has been the south side of Chicago. By posing the question “Can you see the sunset from the Southside?” It is a juxtaposition of the White Sox current success against the continual woes of the Cubs. Even if the Sox win the World Series, Chicago baseball fans will still be whining about the Cubs. That is reason two.

I would go into reason number three but it is Friday night and I’m tired from a long week of work and school. You should know about Diverse and LCD Soundsystem. Check them out below.
