Review: Paramount Room
Remember how WLUW, one of our favorite radio stations, is being taken back by Loyola and will no longer be an independent, community radio station? And do you remember that program director Shawn Campbell turned lemons into lemonade by creating the Chciago Indie Radio Project?
To jog your memory, CHIRP is working to bring low-power FM stations to Chicago and allow community radio to thrive, without the threat of being taken back by larger owners. But doing this ain’t cheap; they need to raise around $30k to be able to start a new station within the next 18 months. As a result, the group has been actively fundraising, and this weekend, the soliciting continues.
Finch Gallery, which recently opened above the old Fireside Bowl, will kick off a “fundraiser dance party” for CHIRP on Sunday. The party will follow a lecture by Andreas Ehmann, who will be speaking about “the mathematical nature of light and sound how [its] layering creates the visual and sonic world around us.” If that doesn’t turn you on, you might as well be dead.
The Chicago Indie Radio Project Sunday Night Dance Party will kick off at 7 p.m. on Sunday night at Finch Gallery, 2648 W. Fullerton. Entry is $7. Ehmann’s lecture precedes the party at 4 p.m.

not only does that not turn me on; I read the title of that lecture about 5 times and it still doesn't make sense to me, it's not proper English and I can't make out how it would be funny or cute.
I don't know what it means either. I just quote the sources. Spankings for anyone who can explain it!
So wait a minute--the Chicago "Indie" Radio Project is being spearheaded by an employee of Chicago Public Radio?
And your point is?
well in that case; It means just what is says!!
Well in that case; it means just what it says!
Where is Chciago?
The lecture's not going to be 3 hours, is it?
A few months ago I read this article in Discover, about the history and science of radio. I remembered some stuff from Physics II...but man, I was half confuse and half intrigued. I obsessed over it, read it three times, asked all of my friends to explain to me everything they could about electromagnetic radiation.
I don't think it will be 3 hours long. They said the gallery will be open for viewing between the lecture and the party, though, if you're bored.
Oh god....why?
Radio is DEAD!
Indie or not.....let radio die with some dignity.
Dance parties even DEADER!
#10 This is a desperate effort by Chicago Public Radio to salvage some type of respectability.
You are right on all accounts.
