MTV Jams Invades Chicago

Photobucket I'm kicking myself right now for not having cable (or a working television, for that matter). Why? MTV Jams will be dedicating an entire day to the city of Chicago on Saturday, November 14th. Mark your calendars! The day will feature videos from the likes of Kid Sister, Lupe Fiasco, Common, R. Kelly, and Twista, among others, along with interviews with Chicago musicians and residents. Fake Shore Drive will be accepting submissions for any of you artists hoping to get involved. Very cool.

"The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
