Famous for the relentlessly enthralling Spring Awakening -- a Tony Award-winning tragic tale of repressed and very horny teens, which starred a pre-Glee Lea Michele -- Duncan Sheik will "preview an orchestral arrangement of a suite of songs" from his newest musical, Whisper House, at Davies Symphony Hall, starting tonight until April 10. more ›

We’ve been on tour of sorts this week, but since it’s for our day job we regret to inform you that there’s nothing very rock about it. We are happy to say that we’re meeting some fellow –ists along the way though. Last night we met and chatted with Kyle and Nicole from DCist. We commiserated with Kyle about the burden of keeping up too many blogs (check out his excellent music blog Information Leafblower) and listened with envy about his plans to cover the Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend. Tonight we’ll be meeting some Chicagoists, which makes us think we should create some sort of dorky visualization out of which –ists we’ve met/haven’t yet met, something like those cardboard maps for collecting state quarters. more ›
