///Chicago's own Yea Big + Kid Static (http://www.myspace.com/yeabigkidstatic) were featured on the frontpage of XLR8R.com (http://xlr8r.com/). If you missed it, no worries, you can catch it right here (http://xlr8r.com/features/2008/07/kid-static-easing-adulthood).

///The Decemberists (http://www.decemberists.com/) have announced plans to release a series of singles titled Always a Bridesmaid: A Singles Series, with the first installment hitting the stores on October 14th. The last of the series will be available on December 2nd. Sounds like a good Christmas/Holiday gift to me. [Thanks, NME (http://www.nme.com/news/nme/39146)]

///Jack White (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_White) has collaborated with Alicia Keys (http://www.aliciakeys.com/) for the recent theme of the new James Bond film, "Another Way to Die." [Thanks, Aversion (http://www.aversion.com/news/news_article.cfm?news_id=11255)]

///If you aren't busy the last Wednesday of the month (that's next Wednesday for those of you keeping track) make sure to check out the Atomic Sketch Event (http://www.myspace.com/atomicsketchevent) over at the EvilOlive (1551 W. Division). Artists get together, make art, and sell it for cheap. Anyone can participate and there is no cover.

///If you want to go picnicking in Grant Park, cross August 7th - 9th of 2009 off the list of possible dates. Lollapalooza will be coming through town those days. [Thanks, Consequence of Sound (http://consequenceofsound.net/2008/08/21/lollapalooza-announces-2009-dates/)]
