News and Notes: City v. Music Promoters (or, contact your alderman...stat!), Lolla Additions
///UPDATE: Channel 11 now has their Chicago Tonight segment regarding the ordinance available on-line. Click here to check out the panel discussion with Jim Derogatis and alderman George Cardenas. Obviously we're biased, but this video would appear to support what's been asserted in print so far about the aldermen seeming "out of touch" with how the scene works. For additional perspective straight from the aldermen's mouth, check out the extensive interviews posted earlier this week over at Time Out Chicago.
///UPDATE: Ordinance has been shelved!! (for the moment)
/// The backlash against the proposed city council ordinance to place more restrictions on music booking is not only growing, but it's started to organize. Check out savechicagoculture.org to get all the details about the ordinance and instructions on how to contact your alderman. Don't delay, the ordinance will be voted on TOMORROW. Also be sure to check back for updates with Jim DeRogatis, who has been an invaluable resource in bringing this issue to light.
///DeVotchKa, Iron & Wine, Saul Williams, Tiny Masters of Today and mid-90s one-hit wonders The Toadies(!?) have been added to the line-up of Lollapalooza, plus about a dozen other bands that I've never even heard of.
