I guess I might as well do this on list for everybody else as well.
The best IDM night going is Monday night at Danny's, a bar in bucktown
(Dickens/Damen) run by this guy Ray who works at Hefty Records. There's
also a Tuesday night thing at the Streetside Cafe (Kedzie/Armitage) run
by Geoffrey from Consumers Research and Development. There are more IDM
weeklies around, but I'm not really sure about their status anymore
since I haven't gone to any of them in a long while.
If you want more info, your best bet is to stop by Weekend Records and
Soap on Division between Ashland and Damen. It's run by Magas, the
Ersatz recording artist, and they carry some pretty good records. They
also run a mailing list of new events that you can sign up for at
www.weekendrecordsandsoap.com.
Another good record store to check out is Reckless, located on Milwaukee
just SE of Damen/North and another location at Broadway/Belmont. Their
old electronic buyer moved to Australia a few months ago, so the
selection isn't quite as good, but they still have some decent stuff.
Evil Clown is a CD-only store located at Halsted/Roscoe that carries
some decent things, but again I've not been there in quite a while.
Also check out the Tower at Fullerton/Clark-- they have surprisingly
good CDs.
