When we're not frequenting our local music store and purchasing everything in sight, we read things online.
- Time Out Chicago breaks down some new indie Christmas tunes just hanging out there on the interwebs (and the most disturbing ornament I've seen thus far).
- Jim DeRogatis puts his Best of 2009 list out for consumption.
- Check out Sunday's kids' show at Old Town School of Folk Music, including performances by a host of local talent, including Spencer Tweedy and The Blisters.
- Loud Loop Press has the latest album from local experimental artist Mako Sika available for streaming.
- The Deli Chicago talks about Meah!, a punk band out of Pilsen.
- If you head out to the Hideout Holiday Craft Fair the next two Tuesdays you can also score some Bloodshot Records items from their table. See the full details in the Hideout calendar.
- The Reader has the line on the latest hip-hop compilation to come out of...Adult Swim? Yeah, that's right.
- And just in time for gifting, the Reader also reviews Chicago Folk, a collection of photographs.
- More Best of 2009 lists from CHIRP DJs: this week is Jenny Lizak.
