A few weeks ago I wrote about the premiere performances of Olivier Wevers's new dance company, Whim W'him, at On the Boards; I was unimpressed (and very much in the minority). Sunday a new strain of commentary popped up on the subject: Spectrum choreographer Donald Byrd wondered on his blog about how Wevers's use of women in the piece changed if you knew (as some in the audience did; all you had to...

An artist named Jonas Buntenbruch may very well be the equivalent of a design machine. He operates a fresh site called ' DONE ' where he's given himself the task of creating a new design piece everyday, all year. It's kind of insane the work he's done so far, but 100% inspiring. From typography to photography, sketches to logos, album cover design to book covers, Jonas documents EVERYTHING! If you...

But now, finally, I've decided to tackle Juju, Psycho Les and the former member Kool Fashion's '94 single "Props Over Here" off their debut LP Street Level. The group mixed samples from Donald Byrd and Booker Little's "Wee Tina" and MC Shan's classic...

The significance of this "Real Sound Of Chicago" double CD release is...
