What's coming up? Let's see.
2007 has been quite a year for the Cold War Kids, whose twangy indie rock has worked its way into the hearts of festival attendees across the world, playing everywhere from Lollapallooza to the Glastonbury Festival. If you’d rather see them up close and personal instead of surrounded by shirtless dudes holding plastic cups of beer, now’s your chance.
Metro, Dec. 7, 6:30 p.m., $15, all ages. On sale at noon on Saturday.
Another one of the Twin Cities’ Rhymesayers wonders, Eyedea and Abilities will once again return to Chicago to prove that they are still together and better than ever, following speculations that they broke up after Eyedea formed his side project Carbon Carousel.

Oh R. Kelly, we have said so much, but we never get enough. As strong as our love/hate relationship is with you, we probably would never pay money to see you live (especially at a whopping $100!! Jeebus.) unless you promise to do Chapters 1-11 of Trapped in the Closet and nothing more.
United Center, Dec. 21, 7:30 p.m., $45-$100, all ages. On sale today.

Hey Spook,
the editor of Chicagoist will be contacting you soon!
You might have noticed that Chicagoist for the lonest of time has lacked a certain, shall we say flavor?
They went after “J.J.” of Good Times fame, but he was too busy. So it’s on you! Chicagoist gets the feeling that beneath your command of jive talk you are type of guy to make every body feel good about themselves like Tiger Woods, and O.J before he went crazy, or like well loved former WBEZ radio host Aaron Freeman.
Of course the subject came up about well your physical tone for the picture, because they want to “mix it up” But don’t worry Chicagoist has some shoe polish. I mean you will be writing with some of the biggest fans of Lew Johnson's Plantation Minstrel Shows that came out in 1871, but hey it’s hip to be retro! And Minstrel Shows
are back!
I Look forward to reading your posts.
Assalamu Alaikum!
