Last Sunday, the Chicago Independent Radio Project went live online. Legal technicalities have prevented them from broadcasting on the airwaves, but CHIRP is working to resolve this. I've been listening to CHIRP all week and the music is diverse and exciting, and all delivered from a community funded public radio station. Where else can you hear Beastie Boys'"Intergalactic" followed by Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang"? So here's to great music broadcasting in Chicago:

Hello 2010!
A happy new year to you all, and MLK day as well. Right now I'm enjoying this:
I've been on Holiday break for the last three weeks, but now I'm back in Chicago ready for things to accelerate. I had a great New Year, and on January 1st I was walking around Bardstown Road with the same people I hailed in 2008 with; Elliot and Thomas, my former roommates. It's so good to be back home and riding my bike again.
This semester is going to be a lot of fun. I'm not taking any photo classes, but hopefully I'll still find the time to be active in pictures, as well as improv and scholarship hunting. There is much to be considered in recapping the decade, which I'll have more on later.
Classes for Spring 2010:
CRW: Writers on the Road
Reporting and Writing I
Intro to Radio
Intro to Anthropology
Intro to Poetry
That's a lot of introductions, but I'm still setting high standards. Classes don't start until January 25th, I'll have much more information then. My grades turned out pretty well from fall, and I now have a 3.5 gpa.
As far as travel plans go, I'm thinking Canada for spring break (probably Toronto), and then New York and anywhere else during the summer. 2010 already sounds promising.
In the arts, I've recently been introduced to the work of Gabriel Orozco, who has been active for more than 30 years, and whose work has changed immensely in that time period. Here is on of his newer pieces, which is graphite on bone.
