For me, I'm eagerly looking forward to Frightened Rabbit on 1/24 at Empty Bottle, Blitzen Trapper also at Empty Bottle on 2/19 and Plants & Animals at Schubas on 3/27. Also, Steve Earle is playing 2 shows at Old Town in early April. All, of course, are Chicago venues. I think it’s a good idea to list the shows that we intend to hit.

The surveys are saying more interviews and more concert coverage...and of course more live sessions. I've heard from several readers in the surveys and offline that the amount of music we post is somewhat overwhelming and they'd like to know which albums we highly endorse. I'll set up a page that will serve as a running tally of the best albums of 2009 "so far". Thanks for the comments and surveys. They're still rolling in (and results are all over the map).

You cats have proven you can write and always turn up great music, so the more, the merrier, i say. Far more importantly, though, you really should feature more beards. i'm just saying.

I have hear*ya to thank for Langhorne Slim, Moondoggies and the Avett Bros. and a few more that I'm forgetting. I also like that you guys don't try to flood us with posts, I appreciate quality over quantity. Just keep introducing me to new bands and I’ll be happy.
