The Chicago Independent Radio Project is working to secure a broadcast license for a new community radio station in Chicago that is committed to local, independent programming, and generally furthering the causes of localism, diversity, and independence in broadcasting. We are working to convince Congress and the FCC to remove existing barriers to the granting of low power FM radio licenses in urban areas, including Chicago. We hope you'll join the fight.
Yea Big + Kid Static are the coolest, nicest guys in Chicago Hip Hop right now. With a debut album and constant gigging keeping them busy, Think Pink Radio caught up with them amidst the work work work.
I found a near mint, original 10″ of Snowball by the Field Mice on Sarah Records. It was one of those times when the dealer and myself locked eyes and we both knew I was having a CHIRP attack and that I would pay what he asked (it didn’t have a price).
From its plain artwork and the unadorned paper sleeve, the charm of Sarah records comes through even before the first listen. A fellow shopper next to me even said “oh, that’s a find!” I ran into a friend and vinyl dork at the fair and he called his buddy over so they could both look at it. anyway, it’s the songs that matter, right? They are pretty good too.
