LET'S FACE IT, I'VE GOT OPINIONS ON PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING

Welcome! NotAbbott.com is the home of the weekly guide to Chicago music list.in.to.chicago, the semi-regular (at least during the season) Chicago Fire and Major League Soccer column The Inswinger, and a whole host of other things of interest to me. It's also the best way to keep tabs on where I'll be performing, musically, as I'm branching out into too many projects to send mail for them individually. At least that's the plan. Enjoy.

WHY NOTABBOTT?

It has nothing to do with the pharmaceutical company. Really. It's just that my name is Costello, and not Abbott. If that made no sense, go ask your parents. Who's on first?

Mostly, it's because "Coz" was too short to lay claim to in the early days of the Internet username rush, and I'm loathe to attach strings of numbers to the ends of things to achieve uniqueness. NotAbbott was available early and often "back in the day," and as a result, I've got a pretty good lock on it across all sorts of web properties.
