		<title>Help support the arts in Chicago&#8230;drink a Pepsi!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago from college up until about 8 years ago, acting was my profession and pretty much my life.  Movies, commercials, industrials and of course...Theater.  Like every struggling actor trying to make a name for themselves, build up their resume and do what they love, I immersed myself in every noteworthy production I could audition myself into.  One very meaningful experience I had was with a theater collective called COLLABORACTION.  I remember performing in their annual Sketchbook production at the Chopin Theater and saw how they combined theater, music, visual art and video. They had House music DJs!]]></description>

		<title>Promoter flashbacks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a dream last night that I was promoting a party in 2003.  It's one month away and I'm getting a late start.  After I go back and forth between a hard to reach artist on the flier design, I'm down a week.  I rush to Pronto Printing, a run down, bustling office filled with posters screaming parties with tons of throwback DJs, reggae booties and general visual overload.]]></description>

		<title>Where are all the Women House Producers?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In one of many long and contemplative conversations I have with my business partner, I asked "Where the hell are all the female House producers??"  I mean, why are there no big, household name producers that are female?  And not singers that get occasional songwriting credit, nor so-and-so producer featuring (insert female singer/songwriter name here).  I mean one name, HER NAME, doing complete production work with no male saddled to the project?]]></description>

		<title>Tragedies don&#8217;t just disappear&#8230;Chicago aids Japan this Thursday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's been over 2 months since a catastrophic earthquake recorded at 9.0 on the Richter scale struck off the coast of Japan, creating a tsunami of such massive proportions that it swept over cities and farmland. Hundreds of thousands were killed, thousands missing and the devastation has yet to stop.  There were explosions and leaks of radioactive gas at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and numerous fires ignited releasing radioactive material into the atmosphere.  Traces of radiation were found in Tokyo's water. Nuclear officials say that this crisis is on the same level as the Chernobyl disaster.

		<title>A letter from Kevin Saunderson. A free track for you to download since someone is already ripping off his&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently received this letter from Detroit legend Kevin Saunderson via his PR Agency Rephlektor Inkorporated.  It's yet another sad instance of artists with zero originality who insist on plagiarizing talented people's work.  ]]></description>

		<title>HELP SAVE WNUR!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Who doesn't remember driving down Lakeshore Drive and jamming to the underground sounds of their nightly Streetbeat Show on 89.3FM?  In my college years at Northwestern University, WNUR was my lifeline to everything electronica, and it has a team of DJs committed to playing the best in underground and underrepresented music on the radio. ]]></description>

		<title>In the midst of a blizzard in Chicago, you think of hot things&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my choreographer has been bugging me to make him a Latin House mix for him to use in his Zumba classes. I looked through my library and came up with these songs, slow to begin with as a warmup, and then fast and frenzied for when he's probably torturing them with crazy dance moves. A lot of these are oldies but goodies.]]></description>
