The Wiggly Tendrils   2009-03-08 2:37 PM

Conor Loughridge, formerly of First Coat, has a new songwriting blog, “The Wiggly Tendrils” — and the ambitious goal of writing a few songs each week for the year. With some great results so far: right now, we especially recommend “Consider the Necessity”( mp3 1.9 MB) from this past Monday.

We've made some small adjustments to our links page, including our recommended listening: artists and projects section.

Gapers Block on First Coat   2008-07-11 3:00 PM

Gapers Block's “Transmission” music site today is “reminiscing about three Chicago bands that have up and faded away, despite their greatness.” Nilay Patel writes about one of those great bands, “First Coat, 2003-2007.”
