Monday Afternoon Quick Fix runs every Monday afternoon to showcase the best of Chicago music news, views and stories from around the interwebs and blogosphere that we might have missed.
- • The drama between Congress Theater owner Eddie Carranza and First Ward Alderman Proco Joe Moreno continues. After a lengthy interview with WBEZ blogger Jim DeRogatis in which DeRogatis questioned Carranza and his lawyer about a variety of topics including the condition of the venue's bathrooms, Carranza responded with a point-by-point rebuttal of the accusations levied against his management and his venue on Chicago-Pipeline.com. The Deleterious Impact/Public Nuisance hearing against the Congress is scheduled for Tuesday, April 17, at 11:30 a.m. at City Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
- • Gossip Wolf talks Lollapalooza predictions in this week's issue of the Chicago Reader. And yes, you guessed it, one pick is... Marilyn Manson. Maybe he'll tear a couple of pages from the Bible for old time sake.
- • Greg Kot catches up with Chicago's best kept secret, garage poppers Radar Eyes and talks about the group's HoZac debut, lead singer Anthony Cozzi's love of cassettes, and why Radar Eyes is not a hobby band.
- • Time Out Chicago has some great shots of Andrew W.K. partying hard at The Riviera.
- • Jessica Hopper chats with Daniel Smith, one of Neon Marshmallow Fest's co-organizers, about his stint at The Whistler DJ'ing House music.
You have to be hip to represent Logan Square, Bucktown and Wicker Park. And the man who has that job is up for the challenge.
