At last! Playlist and Podcast for February 19, 2009
So minor delays turned into major delays. But here's the show anyway; enjoy!
Another week has come and gone, but one thing you can depend on is a week's worth of great shows in Chicago, which I (of course) tell you about in this week's show (which can be downloaded here, and/or listened to on the player on the right-hand side of the page). I'd also like to remind you all that we are now operating under a new domain name, indiesomnia.com, so be sure to update your bookmarks! ;)
And be sure to check out the awesome History of Chicago Rock Music put together by the wonderful and knowledgeable Frank Krolicki of Windy City Rock and Chicago Rock Music Examiner fame; you might just learn something new about Chicago's local music scene of days gone by!
Enjoy,
<3, Susan.
