Loud Loop Press, the brain-child of Sun-Times writer Richard Giraldi, who said some really kind words about us Wednesday, has put together an AMAZINGLY in-depth Record Store Day preview :
"One thing to keep in mind: If you’re on the hunt for the Record Store Day Exclusives, GET THERE EARLY. All of the exclusive releases are being released in limited quantities. Plus, some stores are even offering free goodies, but only to the first few who show up. Finally, we’ll be updating our guide up until Saturday morning with more information as to who will have what and maybe even add some additional locations that we’ve found will be participating as well. But enough small talk. On with the Loud Loop Press Guide to Record Store Day in Chicago:

HOLY COW!!!!
Us? We'll be at Tyler Jon Tyler at 1PM, Bad Drugs at 5PM, Lauries, and everywhere in between. We're stoked!
Tyler Jon Tyler are just one of the bands that are going to play for you if this fundraiser succeeds, which, by the way :
The new total as of a few minutes ago : $1,255!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to say THANK YOU.
I'd like to yell it off my rooftop. I probably will a little bit later into the night.
You guys are blowing me away with your support. A few bands like Piss Piss Piss, Moan Moan Moan, Close Hits, Rabble Rabble, and Mannequin Men, amongst others, have been very vocal about their support.
I don't even know what to say, aside from...Thank You. This party i'm planning, it's going to happen, and I've put a call out to some really, really ridiculous bands to try to get them to play. Chicago staples. Let's just say i'm really going for it. We'll see...
However, HUGE, MONSTROUS thank you's are in order :
Courtney Vandanbroek (who snagged a custom photo set at the $100 level)
John Gorman (who snagged one of the few remaining Threadless t-shirts)
pisspisspissmoanmoanmoan (collectively. thank you guys!)
Veronica Murtagh of the spectacular Cream Team
Anonymous $200 donor
Anonymous $10 donor
Mannequin Men (collectively. thank you!!!!!!)
Marisa Labry (who grabs a Mopery DVD)
Indiegogo called me on the PHONE yesterday and told me it's going well, and that I should be on their radar soon to be featured. If this happens, I need you all to kill it for me with sharing the link. This could potentially EXPLODE for CHIRP Radio, which was the point of getting so much of the scene involved.
We're firming up a possible benefit show next Saturday, April 23rd with (tentatively) SNACKS, PPPMMM, DISTRACTIONS/ABSOLUTELY NOT, and others at Record Breakers, the huge, sprawling record store above REGGIE'S LIVE,
Thank you.
