One of the greatest rock bands of all time was secretly doling out social media advice well before its time.

While scrolling through the songs in my iTunes library the other day, I came across my collection of Led Zeppelin tracks. And by collection of tracks, I mean every song from all 10 of their albums - yeah, I’m a fan. Well I must have been thinking about social media and community building as I skimmed through the list of songs, because a number of the titles started to speak to me about those exact topics.

Mightybytes’ seventh Lunch-n-Learn jammed together good old fashioned comfort food with songwriting on the side, and a dollop of guacamole on top.

Joy prepared Tomato Basil Toast as an open-faced grilled cheese and added a side of guacamole, while James continued his presentation on how to use the GarageBand digital music-making software to combine instrumental, rhythm and vocal tracks to make a complete song.

Mightybytes’ sixth Lunch-n-Learn fused Mexican street foods with songwriting. It brought color, taste, and sound to our weekly series.

Cesar prepared sopes, one of Mexico’s best known street foods. Filled with different ingredients and garnishes, sopes are easily eaten by hand. This time, Cesar prepared a guajillo and an ancho salsa, which you can learn how to make using the recipes at the end of this post. Conveniently, that allowed James to dive into some hands-on magic by showing our team how to use digital music-making software.

Halloween is here…what better way to spend it than hearing things go Bumpus in the night?

MB’s own James Johnston and Travis Chandler are in Bumpus, a Chicago music group that plans to “go old school and return to their roots” at this weekend’s show.

As part of Chicago Artists Month, we are profiling Mightybytes folks on their artistic endeavors. Travis Chandler, James Johnston and Mightybytes alum Whit Nelson are all involved in Terrible Spaceship, an interactive band with live triggered cinematic shows behind them in a theater-esque performance, whose style is called ‘ambient synthetic horror pop.’ The next performance is Saturday, October 3rd at Martyrs on Lincoln Ave.
