David Rakoff's Gracious "Hobbies"

Wanted to share this tumblr that archives the personal gifts that the essayist, journalist, and actor David Rakoff generously made and gave to his friends. David Rakoff passed away last week. It's an incredible archive of his "hobbies" that are far more amazing than anything I could hope to do with my life efforts. While you're thinking about David Rakoff, take a listen to his hilarious segment "Christmas Freud" from This American Life, of which he was a frequent contributor.

Speaking of This American Life. The film "Sleepwalk With Me" by Mike Birbiglia, produced by some of the folks at TAL, will be at Chicago's Music Box Theatre on August 31 & September 1 (7 & 9:30 showings).

Kitten sad re: Radiolab Live prices

Speaking of podcasts showing up live in Chicago – Radiolab will be doing a live show at the Chicago Theatre on September 28. While I would love to hear Jab Abumrad and Robert Krulwich IRL, they're popular and, as it goes, pricey. Regardless, it is sure to be entertaining if you want to shell out the minimum $28 + $15 of service fees.

Carrot Top Artists on WBEZ

Over the last couple months, two of our favorite CT artists were featured on Chicago's own WBEZ 91.5! Listen to interviews with The Bitter Tears and Tara Key's Antietam here:

Althea Legaspi interviews Rick Rizzo and Tara Key and Liz Bustamante talks with The Bitter Tears.

Local label Plustapes featured on NPR's 848

CTD exclusive label Addenda owner/CHIRP DJ/all around good friend Dustin Drase wears many hats, there's not much he doesn't do in the music scene currently. He also makes mean mix tape packaging. Before there was Addenda, there was his cassette only label Plustapes. Today, Plustapes was featured on WBEZ's Eight-forty-eight, with an interview w/ Drase. Listen to the interview here. The interview was conducted by renowned Chicago music writer and my friend Althea Legaspi, as well. This link is brimming w/ awesomeness. Plustapes and Addenda releases are available at saki and CTD, ltd.
