When we're not staving off frostbite at the bus stop, we're on the interwebs, reading about things.
- Songs:Illinois also does Christmas music (with a promo shot of Lauren Graham from Bad Santa that makes me shudder).
- Loud Loop Press has a free track from the upcoming album by Chicago's Puerto Muerto.
- CHIRP starts a December series of their DJs' Best of 2009 lists.
- Remember: Filling out the GB reader survey can win you a pair of tickets to see Jesus Lizard at the Metro on NYE.
- Chicagoist has a free download of the latest from Lupe Fiasco.
- Speaking of Lupe, Matthew Santos, who you might know from Lupe's backing vocals, has an album "preview" show tonight at Lincoln Hall.
- What to Wear During an Orange Alert has a review of Thrill Jockey artist Javelin's latest.
- Stereogum has your link to 40 minutes of Fugazi stage banter from the '90s. Sweet sweet nostalgia.
- WFMU's blog has 20 minutes of Airwave available for streaming.
- With no end date, it seems that UR Chicago is still taking submissions to win a pair of tickets to the NYE show at SmartBar, including sets from Hood Internet and Bald E.
- The Deli Chicago is really into the new album from Skybox. (They're playing at Schubas' Tomorrow Never Knows Festival in January...tickets on sale now and make a great stocking stuffer. I'm just sayin'.)
