This week's cover story | Landan twins, Illinois power pop

- If you frequent clubs, bars or restaurants in River North, or if you've been invited to a VIP party pretty much anywhere in the city, you've seen them—extremely tan identical twins with a penchant for neon and wristwatches. They are the Landans, and they've managed to make careers out of partying.
- What's up with other enigmas around town, like that guy who pogoes at garage-rock shows, or the dude you see at every hot restaurant in the city? We get the skinny.
- In honor of this week's Numero Group release of a new compilation, Buttons: From Champaign to Chicago, we track down the late greats of '70s Illinois power pop to find out what they're up to now.
