Radio Free Chicago, one of the many fine shows on WLUW, informs us that there are three record listening parties happening tonight: New Order at Smartbar; a whole bunch of CDs -- and ping pong! -- at Shubas, brought to you by Reckless Records; and the new Eels disc at Long Room. And on Wednesday, RFC itself is hosting a listening party for the new Stereolab box set at aliveOne, after which a whole bunch of DJs spin.
