  • Get your own Weezer Snuggie! (Now with more Weezer!)
  • Lollapalooza wants you to suggest bands for 2010's festival.
  • Rogue Wave drummer Pat Spurgeon needed a kidney, right as the band was about to make it big. They made a movie about it, called D Tour. Catch it on PBS next week.
  • Lillith Fair returns. (Cue: "I Will Remember You")
  • Love The Hood Internet? Show it with a shirt!
  • We chatted with a crop of Chicago music industry interns.
  • Is the Metro haunted? Ghost Lab investigates. The episode (titled "Murky Water") replays on Discovery on 11/10 or check online clips here (start with part 4).
  • A tour of Wilco's loft. No, you can't live there.
  • Local blog Red Threat has the skinny on DJ Zinc and his latest EP. Is it Drum 'n Bass? Jungle Core? Grimehouse? You be the judge.
  • Local bands: Want to open for Ronson on New Year's Eve?
  • CHIRP sure would like you to contact your representatives today about the Local Community Radio Act of 2009 (HR 1147).
  • Win tickets to Led Zepplin cover band Heartbreaker.
  • Get your hands on a free download of a remix of Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise album, called, oddly enough, Illinoize, by Montreal-based producer Tor. Oddly enough, Sufjan has a new album out all about The BQE in New York.
  • Billy Corgan was interviewed by the David Lynch Foundation.
  • Get your jazz on at the annual Umbrella Music Festival this weekend.
  • Top sellers at Gramaphone Records last week.
  • And have you bought your copy of the Tao of Wu yet? Do you think your Wu-Tang sword can defeat me?
