Friday Quick Links
When we're (well, really just me) not getting in fistfights over the last pair of Hunter boots, we're often online.
- You're coming to our party at the Metro tonight, right? Four bands for zero dollars if you do the right thing and bring our flyer to the door before 9pm. Details here.
- Speaking of White Mystery, Greg Kot has more (very nice things) to say about them (even though he doesn't let it slip that you can get into this show for free, hrm).
- Will it be Phish, Dave Mathews, or Billy Joel and Elton John performing at Wrigley this summer? (via)
- Enjoy Chicago hip-hop and help Haiti earthquake victims all in one place at this upcoming show on the 31st at Reggie's.
- Loud Loop Press has a list of some of the things that Chicago artists are doing to aid Haiti.
- Bloodshot Records is proud to feature their "Drinking Buddies" (artists they like, but who aren't on the label) starting with Jane Baxter Miller (performing Saturday at the Hideout).
- Peter Margasak has the line on the Pravda Records label reunion show at the Abbey Pub tonight.
- CHIRP radio launched! But the fun doesn't end there!
- I Fight Dragons won the award at Deli Chicago's Emerging Artists of 2009 poll. (Hey Champ came in second, with Netherfriends in third.)
- Hm, Prince is apparently a football fan (and roots for the Vikings, which makes sense).
- Also at Stereogum this week: the 2010 Coachella lineup is announced.
- And DeRo has the line on the expanded Lilith Fair lineup which actually has my interests piqued. It includes Loretta Lynn, Heart, and Cat Power (I'll believe it when I see her). No dates or specific city lineups set yet.
- UR Chicago has the news that Vice and SubPop records have inked a collaborative deal with CNN. I expect the green room to get a whole lot filthier. [And doesn't this smack of that stellar "youth news" program "Channel One"?]
