This weekly (or so) mailing lists hundreds of new album releases, in a newer, easier-to-read format. It's a great assistant for those Tuesdays before going to the record store. To receive this list via e-mail on a regular basis, e-mail <new-releases-request@cs.uwp.edu> or <majordomo@cs.uwp.edu> with only the following in the body of the message: subscribe new-releases THE CHICAGO SHOWS LIST ON THE RADIO The Chicago Shows List has been getting mentioned on the air on Needle Drop, a weekly radio show on WCBR 92.7 FM on Mondays 9-midnight. It's a cool show, where a studioful of big-time music geeks, including yours truly the past two weeks, talk about and play cool music, almost at random. Tentative theme for Monday: Hippies. Tune in and see if they play some of my favorite Grateful Dead-bashing songs. FIRESIDE UPDATES Many changes have been made to the Fireside listings. If you've been planning on going to any Fireside shows, double-check to make sure that they're still going on. TJSA AND/OR SPEAKING CANARIES Neither Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments or Thee Speaking Canaries will be playing Lounge Ax on the 27th. Bummer. ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT Rocket From The Crypt have postponed their tour, so will not be at Lounge Ax in August. EMPTY BOTTLE CORRECTION FOR NEXT WEEKEND The Friday and Saturday shows for next weekend at Empty Bottle have been swapped for the past few weeks.
