did you see that new WSL commercial? Is Dion right? Is it time we say no to the WSL?
I’m quite depressed right now. There are the sharks. Crowds. Hospitals. Stress. Bills. Work. Marketing. Branded Content. And WSL. And it’s the WSL that’s really getting to me right now.

“You’ve Got A Woman”, the new single from Chicago indie folkers Whitney, is so soulfully funky, you’ll be cruising on this one all week long.

WY Premiere: Watch “Simone” New video from Chicago’s The Bingers
Remember the cartoon Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats? Well, the Bingers’ new video for “Simone” reminds me so much of those fly felines that I’ve been bingeing on old YouTube videos all morning. The Bingers – that’s bing-ers, not binge-ers – all grew up skating and playing music together, so it’s no wonder their music…
