Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesJoin Us for Chicago Mixtape’s 2-Year Anniversary Fund Raiser at the Empty Bottle!
In 2011, some enterprising Chicagoans had an idea: every week they would collect tracks from exciting, innovative local artists and bands and send them out to the public as a way of spreading the word. Two years later, Chicago Mixtape is still going strong as more and more music fans hook in to the sweet sounds coming to their Inboxes each week.
This Saturday, February 23rd, Chicago Mixtape will celebrate its 2-Year Anniversary with a fundraising event at The Empty Bottle. Rapper Psalm One, soul revivalists The Congregation, and indie rockers Santah and Animal City will be onstage providing the jams, with a DJ set from White Mystery. As a participating sponsor, CHIRP Radio is proud to support our fellow local music fans in one of Chicago’s awesomest venues. Come join us for the celebration!

Mike Bennett writesFriday iPod/MP3 Shuffle—Happy Birthday Conor Oberst Edition
Today we pay tribute to an indie rock giant, Conor Oberst. During the latter part of the ‘90s, Oberst brought back folk music to indie prominence, starting with his highly successful band Bright Eyes. Over the years, Oberst expanded his palette to include everything from electronic music to country, winning a loyal group of fans, many who cling to every word in his lyrics. He also moved on to other projects, including a solo career, the rocking Desaparecidos and the Monsters Of Folk. Let’s pay tribute to Mr. Oberst by grabbing your iPod or MP3 player, hitting shuffle, and sharing the first 10 songs that come up.
