Kelsey Phillips writesDon’t Miss CHIRP Night at The Whistler with Les Racquet and Hemmingbirds!
Need an excuse to exceed your average $3 tallboy budget? Head over to the Whistler on April 8th and enjoy some absurdly delicious cocktails with the added bonus of some good live music. This month's CHIRP night at the Whistler features Brooklyn trio Les Racquet, who are sure pleasure us with some rockin' three-part vocal harmonies, as well as the home town indie rock quintet Hemmingbirds.
If that isn't enough to hook you, CHIRP DJs will be playing after the sets, accompanying a raffle with some gnarly prizes. If you're gonna drop a few extra bucks on some yummy cocktails, why not do it with good people and good music, all the while supporting your local community-based radio station? AND there's no cover! This, my friends, is an offer you can't refuse (unless you're under 21, since this is a 21+ event; sorry kids!).
Mike Bennett writesFriday iPod/MP3 Shuffle—In Memory of Roger Ebert Edition
Roger Ebert was the first Pulitzer Prize winning film critic and the reason for that is no mystery. He was simply a wonderful writer. He just happened to write about film (and later, on his blog, many, many other things), with such an expressive voice. Even before he teamed up with Gene Siskel to co-host the influential At The Movies, Ebert was already showing, on a weekly basis, how to make real film criticism accessible to everyone. Thanks to Ebert and Siskel, more indie films got a shot at success, obscure directors and actors became famous, and moviegoers became more aware of things like product placement and letterboxing versus pan and scan.
Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesWhy I’m a Member: Mike Hominick
I love CHIRP because I feel like I'm listening to friends talk about their favorite bands. The station is commercial free and the DJs have a passion for what they play. It is easy to listen to and several times a day I learn about great bands I might not have ever heard of had it not been for CHIRP. Keep up the great work! -- Mike Hominick (Member)
