My Bloody Valentine is coming to Chicago to play in late September at the Aragon. They still haven’t released any new music though since Loveless.
I was still in college when these guys were making music. It’s like the 90s all over again, when it was cool to go see geezers like the Stones, The […]

FINAL LOLLAPALOOZA LINEUP
Is this even news any longer?
While there is no way I will attend this festival of human kindness, I do like reading through the list of bands and noting which I would like to see. Alas, they will likely be drowned out by a larger stage sound system or booked […]

Pitchfork revealed dates and locations of the second leg of Radiohead’s North American tour this morning, and something jumped out at me that made me a bit excited, and more than a bit apprehensive about when to purchase Radiohead tickets, and to what shows.
It also made me a bit more hopeful than I was since […]

Rev Dave and I attended the Throw Me The Statue show at Schuba’s this past Friday night, and for the most part it was pretty enjoyable. Aside from some not-so-funny-at-all and cliche-ridden Chicago-themed jokes that ended up taking up time that could have been used to play one more song or two, the Seattle-based band […]

So last week Pitchfork announced Pitchfork.tv which actually sounds pretty cool. They tout it as what Music TV should be and I can’t argue. Me thinks it a pretty good idea.
Then, they knock me out with the early initial lineup for Pitchfork Festival 2008. Spiritualized anyone?

Evanston’s own Eddie V is getting set to tour solo for the first time this spring, and Neil Finn’s son Liam is gonna help him out.
This is interesting to me because I’ve always dug Crowded House, and for the fact that Eddie has long been a vocal fan of Neil Finn’s music. He has collaborated […]

Lots happened over the weekend, but keeping in line with RTP’s historic eye toward environmental awareness, I’ve condensed three bits of news into one post, saving at least a few eTrees.

Saturday night Quirken, Rev Dave and I all saw St. Vincent at Schuba’s. Rev was at the early show and Quirken and I were […]

Listen up! Another Radiohead webcast has been announced. This one’s an in-store performance at London’s Rough Trade record store, and it starts just about two hours from now (3pm Eastern/2pm Central/Noon Pacific/etc.).
Go to Radiohead.tv to watch, and get ready to be entertained radioheadweb-style. I’m personally excited to watch one of these live, as opposed to […]

As expected, Radiohead will be touring the US this year and if you missed the last round of small venue shows you’re probably leaving right now to stand in line for tickets. I personally know many people who went down every avenue to score the entrance pass to the last shows here in Chicago […]
