///Cursive is braving the cold north once winter finishes tapering off. This means tour dates and that means a show at Subterranean on June 27th. In the meantime check out Tim Kasher's contribution to online lit magazine Take the Handle. [Thanks, Pfork]
///Because we can't get enough of Radiohead, and they keep giving it to us, it sounds like Grizzly Bear will be heading out with Radiohead on the second half of the North American tour. So if Radiohead isn't playing Lollapalooza you'll get to see them in Chicago with Grizzly Bear. [Thanks, Consequence of Sound]
///Check out the new Chicago based hip-hop website, Oskar-Bravo.
///And finally, for that bartender who wouldn't stop playing '90's rock the other night, the Nickelback singer has been found guilty of drunk driving in Canada. Police stopped the singer; in a Lamborghini; going 160km/h (about 100mph); in Surrey, Canada in June 2007. [Thanks, NME]
