Sometimes you ask yourself "Why is this important?"--don't do that, because it's not just flagrant gossip for the sake of ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ kanye-west-doesnt-have-a-cell- phone-french-montana/61527/
It is essential for an organization to treat their staff members with respect. They really should not mistreat their staff members. Staff members who feel that they have not been paid their due can easily become dishonest over a period of time. They can easily resort to violations. This can easily tarnish the picture of the organization. Unethical staff members can easily market exclusive and private data of the organization to rival businesses. The reason for accomplishing this varies out [...]

Photo Credit: Carrie Musgrave - livebabylive.com There are thousands of great local bands playing every week in our fair city. Some you might know and some you might not. Seeing as it's the beginning of a brand new year, we thought we'd point out some local bands who we think you might want to keep your eye on in 2012. And isn't it always cool to say you were a fan of popular act back in the day when they were playing for eight people in a crappy dive bar? Yes, it is always [...]

The Baby Magic Three "there ain't no party like a [Panchos] party because a [Panchos] party is mandatory " reasons to head out to - you guessed it - Panchos tonight... 1. Never has an indie rock band that has spoken about sex so gratuitously seemed so adorable. Chicago's Baby Magic chat about those most natural of life urges using only their most earnest, innocent indoor voices. Fans of Bay Area acts Da Hawnay Troof and Gravy Train!!! shouldn't miss this Chicago duo. [...]

The first weekend of 2012 does not disappoint. There's plenty of happenings to take in as you enjoy this RIDIC weather. We're talking Secret Colours , Tiger Bones , The Gorilla Press and more! Dig it... FRIDAY THE CELL PHONES In case you hadn't heard, late last month I named The Cell Phones's Hospital Spaceship [...]

Darren from Last Days of 1984 put me onto this compilation seeing as I've shared a love of Shangaan cassette tapes recently (a few are available in Elastic Witch ).The nine-track compilation Music from Saharan Cellphones on the SahelSounds label, as the title suggests, is music that comes from cellphone memory cards. Cheap mobile phones are popular in West Africa so it makes sense to use in-built memory cards to share your music collection via Bluetooth or similar with others when there's no internet access, Wi-Fi or 3G available (no not [...]

Seeing how our staff has distinct tastes and opinions on music, it would be nearly impossible for us to determine a 10 Albums of 2010 list as a single entity without excessive bloodshed. So over the next couple of days, we'll be posting Top 10 Albums of 2011 lists as determined by individual Loud Loop Press staff members. Today, associate editor Audrey Leon offers up her list for Top 10 Albums of 2011. What a long strange trip it has been. All obligatory yearbook quotes aside, 2011 has been an interesting year for music. I spent [...]
Another Weekend in Michigan After a show with our good friends The Werks at the HOB tonight, were off to Michigan again just a couple weeks after our T-day jaunt. Hope to grab some of that fine, fine MI wine...

We're only mere weeks away from the official start of winter, so don't forget to party while you still can. We're talking about some great shows including The Cell Phone s at The Hideout, Russian Circles at Lincoln Hall and Missing Monuments at the Empty Bottle. Let's rock and roll, hoochie koo . FRIDAY THE CELL PHONES It's hard to believe that the [...]
Hello, Chicago. Meet your favorite new band: The Cell Phones . The trio doles out epic slices of rhythmic dance punk at its finest. Caffeinated Recordings were nice enough of to show us video evidence of why the indie rockers are so badass. Plus it doesn't hurt that lead singer Lindsey Charles is dressed as a punk rock Annie (or Gilly ?), who just happens to be packing tremendous attitude and true power behind her vocal chords. Catch The Cell Phones as they melt your faces along with White Mystery [...]

A Photo With A Thought Nature is neither manifestly romantic nor picturesque: the descriptive terms convey cultural meanings that live in perceptions - Alan Trachtenberg. (photo taken in the Tri-County Nature Area, IN.)

Music researcher, Chris Kirkley, unveils a volume 2 of underground Sahel Sounds . The compilation of sounds come from a variety of underground self-produced recordings from cellphones throughout the Sahara region. Its absolutely incredible to hear such a refreshing amount of soul and tune-filled instrumentations coming from this particular part of the world. The eccentric camel-riding pop galas have a certain charm to them that makes you immediately fall for them and their intant classical vibes. If you enjoy any type of cultural or world music I highly suggest you take a close listen to these... [...]
