Katy Perry reviewed!
Katy Perry’s bound to strike it rich with Teenage Dream (Capitol), since she can sell at least one of the tracks to NBC.
Black Eyed Peas pics!
We’ve been a little backlogged on posts (sorry!) but we don’t want you to miss these from the weekend.
No fighting!
When was the last time you had a free Saturday night? No $100 music festivals, no weddings, no family golf outings . . . is this the big one? ‘Cuz we have stuff for you to do!
The Watson Twins preview
Space, Evanston Thursday, August 19, 2010 Beauty shouldn’t be a motivating factor when choosing what music to listen to. Sure, advertisers and savvy marketing gurus utilize the allure factor when trying to sell the latest pop tart to the masses, but most music lovers would like to think their ears can discern greatness beyond outward […]
Win tickets to see Elsinore on Friday!
Champaign-based Elsinore’s new album, Yes Yes Yes (Parasol), is already in stores (cover art and all!), but we’re offering you a chance for two tix to their Lincoln Hall release party on the 20th.
Kenny G or Beatle Fest?
It’s like picking a favorite child! One is for a good cause, the other’s just because.
But what about some headliners?
A lot of ‘Palooza coverage has focused on a general overview, with brief glimpses of the sets. We sent Jaime de’Medici out with a focus.
Soundgarden would have wanted it that way.
We know. You don’t want to go out. We can’t make you. You just saw 147 bands forcryingoutloud, and excuse you if you’ll just lie there and sort out what happened. Screw that. More rock!
Mogwai live and on film!
After 15 years, six studio albums, and a fistful of compilations, soundtracks, and EPs, Mogwai has finally released an official live album. Sure, there have been plenty of live versions of songs available before, but nothing previously released comes close to conveying the spacious bliss, skyrocketing build-ups, and shock-and-awe crescendos the way Special Moves (Matador) […]
Lollapalooza!
Now in its fifth year as a Destination Festival, Lollapalooza sets out to test if bigger is better. This year, the festival grounds have been enlarged, pushing some stages west of Columbus to both accommodate more festival goers and ease the crowding that has plagued past events. Did it work? Kind of.
Kicks with The Undertones!
Union Square goes full tilt on the purveyors of John Peel’s favoritest song, and Terrence Flamm reviews it.
How to spend Lollapalooza
Think of it as the difference between being at work and being at home. When in the confines of your abode, do whatever you want. But out here, you play by our rules. And this schedule is how to maximize your time this weekend.
Win tickets to see Taylor Hicks! At Reggie’s?!
Throw us the whip, we’ll give you the “Idol.” Former winner Taylor Hicks (yes, that was four years ago) is done with the arena tours and now gets back to the busy work of connecting with fans.
It only happens 7 times a year
Folks don’t love the number 31 enough. Especially as a date. It’s the only day of the month where you know the next day is a new month. And if it’s a Saturday, like this month? That means next month has a Friday the 13th! Woo-hoo!
