HuffPo's Chicago site "straight stole our
entire Bon Iver Critic's Choice," reports the
Reader's Whet Moser. "They didn't ask permission." He notes that the "read the whole story here" link at the bottom of HuffPo's page is pointless: "(T)hat is the whole article, dumbass." This aggregation-gone-wild led Moser to check the other concert previews on the Chicago site, and
he reports that "there's a whole list of concert previews from us,
Time Out Chicago,
Centerstage, and the
Onion's
Decider," reprinted in full.
