Scene Links:

Pygmalion Festival to Kick Off This Month [Pitchfork] - The people of Champaign-Urbana, Illinois unleashed REO Speedwagon upon the world in the early 1970's, and they've been making up for it ever since. Braid, Hum, Poster Children, and the Didjits are but a few Chambana bands that have vaulted the city into the same indie rock league as Chapel Hill, Athens, and Olympia-- college towns with musical influence in absolute disproportion to their size.

The Opportunists and Col. Rhodes call it quits [Buzz] - This July, we bid goodbye to Colonel Rhodes and The Opportunists, two outstanding local bands that never got as much attention as they deserve.

Review: Desafinado - s/t [Buzz] - Review of the C-U based latin band.

Interview: Shipwreck [Buzz] - The Buzz's Kyle Gorman talks with Shipwreck about their music and their new album.

City on Film [The Onion's A.V. Club Staff Picks] - Former Braid and Hey Mercedes frontman Bob Nanna's new project, City on Film, is highlighted on The Onion's A.V. Club Media Center as a staff favorite.
