Back once again after taking a little break from the podcast to get things together with the changes to the site for 2010… and also back because of all of you fans emailing me constantly to put up another podcast since you like coming to me to find out where the happening bands are playing here in Chicago… thank you for tuning in and showing your support for Independent music by going to see these bands play live and buying their music!! So… enough of that… on with the show… and all that shit. Here is the new podcast… lots of great music here for you… and even more great shows.  After the holidays I will be back to a schedule of a new podcast every two weeks… until then I will be having just one more before the start of 2010… and it will have my personal favorite albums of 2010 from local Chicago bands on it… be sure to check that bad boy out!

OKR Local & Indie listeners,

Decided after reviewing Haymarket Riot's killer disc yesterday that I would review or interview a band everyday this week until the new Podcast this Friday.

Today's release I reviewed was the "No Sun Ep" by Nonagon.

OKR Fans,

I'm about to release a section of the site called:

John B's About Fuckin Time Music Reviews

Mostly because with my busy ass schedule I've now decided to only review the releases that I think you should know about that really leave an impact on me... and not waste my time with the ones that are sent to me and I have to write about how bad quality they were.

So... in turn I will be adding reviews of the latest releases from Haymarket Riot, VEEDEE, The Wanton Looks, Nonagon, Mannequin Men, and more over the next week.

Cheers,

John B.
