When we're not hugging it out, we're checking things out online like these:
- Weather looks great for Lollapalooza! Did you get your festival questions answered by Time Out: Chicago's Crabby columnist?
- Get psyched up (or hear what you're missing) by listening to Future Perfect Radio's Lolla stream.
- Will Arcade Fire reprise their cover of Jay Reatard's "Oh It's Such A Shame" this weekend? You'll have to wait and see.
- What's a music festival without a day of celebrity kickball? A lucky 50 get to watch on Saturday.
- Not into Lollapalooza at all? DeRogatis has a great list of ways you can fill your weekend with good ole hometown rock that have nothing to do with the festival.
- Sonny and the Sunsets perform on WBEZ's new Music Blog.
- Russian Circles had a terrible van accident last week, which totaled their van and most of their instruments, cost them their tour dates, but luckily spared them any serious injury. Hope the guys are back on tour soon! Donations can be made via PayPal.
- Remember that bit last week about Howard Stern ranting about Carl Kassell and the Radio Hall of Fame? Here's Carl's awesome response. In the end, it turns out Carl is far more popular with the Hall of Fame voters, as he was voted in this week, along with WXRT's Terri Hemmert. Congrats to you both!
- Mark your calendars, and steel yourselves for the free Mad Decent Block Party at the Hideout, August 21st.
- Video of Disco Nights at Cabrini Green in 1977. (via)
- Behind the scenes of Kanye's "Power" video with director/artist Marco Brambilla (Warning: it's got some naked bodies, so maybe NSFW.) And here's the video itself.
- Some interns fetch coffee. Others end up on stage with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
- Psalm One debuts another mixtape in her Women @ Work series. (More on Psalm One.)
- Need a DJ for your right of passage? Why not book Paul Rudd?
- Mmm, vintage album cover art curated by design website Grain Edit.
- RIP Mitch Miller.
