Here at The Early Registration we like to pride ourselves on our music knowledge. To stay polished on our musical expertise, our new feature is a little game of musical “6 Degrees”. For those who are unfamiliar, six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone in the world is connected by six or fewer steps, so we are now taking the liberty of connecting musicians whom you would never think could be connected, in exactly six steps. This week our 6˚ piece is dedicated to Lollapalooza amazing lineup, which is coming to Chicago in just a couple of weeks. To keep things interesting we challenged ourself to connect one Lollapalooza headliner (Sam Smith) to another Lollapalooza headliner (Paul McCartney). The twist is can we do this using only other artists from Lollapalooza’s lineup this year? Find out below!

Chicago doesn’t only get its fair share of wind, but it can get quite a bit of rain as well. Fans of the Pitchfork Music Festival learned so first hand as stormy weather and a Chicago-area Tornado Watch prompted an evacuation of the festival, leaving fans of affected performers like Vince Staples (whose performance was cancelled) and Ariel Pink (whose performance was almost rained out) very disappointed at mother nature. Luckily as of 4:20 P.M., fans were allowed back into the festival grounds. Let’s hope that no more evacuations or cancellations are left to come, although Chicago is still under a tornado watch until 10:00 P.M.

Taking note from Beyonce and all the rappers in the music world, Chicago’s own, Wilco, has released a new surprise studio album. The 11-track project is titled Star Wars and is available for free download for the next 30 days. “Why release an album this way and why make it free? Well, the biggest reason, and I’m not sure we even need any others, is that it felt like it would be fun,” said Wilco frontman, Jeff Tweedy. “What’s more fun than a surprise?” Tweedy continued. Although Star Wars’ free download will only remain until August 13th, the project will be available for purchase on CD on August 21 and vinyl on November 27. Pre-order of the physical release is available now on wilcoworld.net.

Check out the cover art and tracklist for Star Wars below and download the entire project here.
