News and Notes: Johnny Marr, Chicago Blogs, Eskimo Joe, Radiohead

///Johnny Marr has been named Visiting Professor at the University of Salford. He will be delivering workshops and some masterclasses to students attempting to earn their BA in Popular Music and Recording.  He'll be in Chicago on December 2nd with Modest Mouse at the Congress Theatre. [Thanks, Pfork]

///It looks like a real possibility that Radiohead will embark on an international tour in May 2008 that will last (with breaks) until the end of the year.

///The Gapers Block Transmission covers some Chicago music blogs. No, they don't cover us, but it's still a good resource for some blog reading fun. [Thanks, TLTP]

///Eskimo Joe's new album, Black Fingernails, Red Wine, got the review treatment over at PopMatters. They play the bottle Saturday night.
