THE RETURN OF THE NEW RELEASES LIST
The New Releases mailing list has returned! This weekly (or so)
mailing lists hundreds of new album releases, in a newer,
easier-to-read format. It's a great assistant for those Tuesdays
before going to the record store.
To receive this list via e-mail on a regular basis, e-mail
<new-releases-request@cs.uwp.edu> or <majordomo@cs.uwp.edu> with only
the following in the body of the message: subscribe new-releases
THE CHICAGO SHOWS LIST ON THE RADIO
The Chicago Shows List has been getting mentioned on the air on Needle
Drop, a weekly radio show on WCBR 92.7 FM on Mondays 9-midnight. It's
a cool show, where a studioful of big-time music geeks, including yours
truly the past two weeks, talk about and play cool music, almost at
random.
Tentative theme for Monday: Hippies. Tune in and see if they play some
of my favorite Grateful Dead-bashing songs.
FIRESIDE UPDATES
Many changes have been made to the Fireside listings. If you've been
planning on going to any Fireside shows, double-check to make sure that
they're still going on.
TJSA AND/OR SPEAKING CANARIES
Neither Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments or Thee Speaking Canaries
will be playing Lounge Ax on the 27th. Bummer.
ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT
Rocket From The Crypt have postponed their tour, so will not be at
Lounge Ax in August.
EMPTY BOTTLE CORRECTION FOR NEXT WEEKEND
The Friday and Saturday shows for next weekend at Empty Bottle have
been swapped for the past few weeks.
PETER MURPHY DATE CHANGE
Peter Murphy is now on the August 13th.
