Friday Quick Links
When we're not dropping window A/C units off the second floor, we're inside, in the dark, reading things online.
- Wow, thanks to everyone who came out to our party! We have photos so you can relive the night (or just plain ole remember it), as does Time Out.
- Bloodshot artist Danbert Nobacon is putting out a children's book! About a princess! And some cats!
- A year after his untimely death, Jay Bennett lives on in the form of the Jay Bennett Foundation.
- You can download the CHIRP app for your iPhone now (and check on what other phones you can listen in.)
- WFMU has a new edition of it's downloadable mp3 feature "Mining the Digital Motherlode."
- New Kanye West single via Chicagoist.
- A phenomenon of decorating bicycle spokes to create "scraper bikes" is rolling through Oakland, CA. I'm enjoying the musical wing of the movement. (And waiting to see Chicago's spin on it.)
- Story of a classic rock poster by the artist.
- Bono got emergency back surgery, which doesn't lend itself to a North American tour. All North American dates (including U2's July 6th Chicago show) have been postponed, to be rescheduled at a later date.
- 30db (a side project of Umphrey's McGee and Yonder Mountain String Band members with Chicago connections) covers Wilco's song "Handshake Drugs."

- Will the V.I.P. tickets save rock n' roll?
- Note to self: Don't tick off M.I.A.
- R.I.P. Paul Gray.
