In case you have ever hesitated to take the call of a Diskord reporter … check out the awesome peak in site stats for The Webelos on March 22, the day the Diskord article “Making It As A College Band” went up. Now, admittedly, a dozen to a couple dozen of those are ours, as we tested links and dealt with mp3 embedding and browser crashes. As for the rest … we’ll let Diskord readers take some of the credit for those. (It’s a little thing we like to call “the Diskord bump.” … haha.)

Diskord is all about reporting on cool (or spectacularly un-cool) local people and movements, so if you have a story that you want heard, pitch it to us! E-mail: editor@diskordchicago.com
