Friday Quick Links

A bit of what's been going on elsewhere online this week:

• A.V. Club Chicago asks Jeff Tweedy to react to comments about him on the Internet.

• Big Rock Candy Mountain goes all weak in the knees over Chicago band Cococoma and their luscious pink vinyl record.

• Lincoln Hall's Official Grand Opening event will be on 10/25 with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Tickets on sale now. Just $15.

• The Deli Chicago has the line (and a video) from a DA reunion on Chic-a-Go Go.

• More in video is on Fake Shore Drive with local hip-hop artists Kidz in the Hall on Mark Bazer's "The Interview Show" which also begs the question: Why isn't there any hip-hop at The Hideout? Or any, really?

• Jim DeRogatis has the line on a fledgling band called Ideamen hitting the Beat Kitchen later this month with their newly minted album.

• Live Music Blog has the line straight from God on Phish. Phew!

• Loud Loop Press has it that Pelican will play an in-store show at Reckless later in the month, but more importantly, they'll debut a new "Pelican Burger" at Kuma's. Congrats, fellas! You've arrived.

• A special Halloween benefit concert for Scotland Yard Gospel Choir is on deck at Subterranean. And the Hideout also offered up a slot on Nov. 12th for another benefit show featuring The 1900s and Brighton MA.

• And I totally missed the recent announcement of Kid Sister's long-awaited (and awaited) debut album release. Ultraviolet drops 11/17 and you can be at her show at the House of Blues to celebrate on 11/25. Tickets $16-$18.
