Is it wrong to want to be in a doc about Chicago’s gay life? I mean, this is the smallest town in a big city, and, like, I go out and stuff. But the trailer for WTTW’s “Out & Proud in Chicago” is more about the history, and not the, ahem, present. The program goes [...]

* Jayne County
I recently picked up a Near Mint copy of the New York Dolls Ep on Kamera Records, and I didn’t even know how rare it was until I got home and did some research. As it turns out, another score from this innocent purchase was that I stumbled upon www.punk77.co.uk, a really [...]

Greg from the Ballet told me Rae Spoon’s voice had too many flourishes, and while I agree there is something precious in the way his voice inflects, you can’t knock the charmingly meek country songs on his myspace.

Have you noticed that all your favorite bands are coming through town either this month or next month? South By Southwest might be one hell of a cluster fuck, I don’t really know as I have never been. Luckily, the national perk is that buzz bands from all over the world take advantage of of [...]

*The image from a 2005 hanging of two gay teenagers in Mashhad, Iran.
