Hello Chicago Cyclists!

Firstly, I want to admit that this is both an off-topic topic AND a shameless bit of self-promotion.

So, with that out of the way:

As a now 1-year-old Chicago cyclist, I've found that the Chicago Independent Music Scene and the Chicago Cyclist Community has quite a bit of overlap. I've seen the rolled up pant legs and grease stained calves at Schubas and the Double Door. I've seen riders in front of me slow as they pass the marquee of SubT to see who's on this week. And with that in mind, I want to introduce a music blog I run called IndieMonday.com.

Indie Monday is a new Chicago-based music blog that features a free song and an in-depth review from an independent band every Monday. This week, in addition to featuring Youngest Son and their new EP, we're giving away a pair of Shure SRH 440 Headphones to one lucky reader. To be eligible:

1. Sign up for the mailing list (http://eepurl.com/ejq72)
2. "Like" Indie Monday on Facebook (http://on.fb.me/kAQDlk)
3. Close your eyes real tight and wish as hard as you can wish.

Here's a little video that explains this better:

AND, we're always looking for artists to feature so if you're in a group (or know someone who is) that wants to be on the site, send us a note at thisisindiemonday@gmail.com.

Thanks for your time,

Matt
