A few Chicago music news bites

• Gapers Block reviewed Dum Dum Girls' Friday night set at the Empty Bottle, and Underground Bee has a bunch of great pictures from the show.

• In the latest bit of Billy Corgan randomness, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman announced that he has started his own pro-wrestling company called Resistance Pro. Click here for more details (which probably won't help it make any more sense).

• Over at HeyReverb.com, you can hear/download a live acoustic session with locally-based indie pop outfit Gold Motel.

• LoudLoopPress.com dived into the new self-titled album from Chicago rockers Mannequin Men.

• Jim DeRogatis took on the evils of ticket scalping on his vocalo.org blog.
