As promised, here’s the latest podcast.

The Contrarian’s Corner — Episode II: Scary Monsters

I was gonna wait until tomorrow, but I just couldn’t. This will give you extra time to download over the weekend. Tracklisting is provided in the comments field of the official Contrarian’s Corner Blog, which formerly hosted the podcast.

Yes, it’s a Halloween theme. I drank wine again, so it gets pretty silly. But there are some good tunes in there. Enjoy, and do let me know what you think.

PS: Local musician Rob Voland has a great new album called Springinsfeld. He and Ryan Power (who’s not long for B-town) recorded it on 4-track cassette. Awesome!

You can hear some of it live — and probably snag a CD — when Voland plays 339 Pine St. on Oct. 28. The show starts at 8 p.m. and appears to be free.

Casey Rea was the Seven Days music editor from 2004 until 2007. He won the 2005 John D. Donoghue award for arts criticism from the Vermont Press Association.

  1. ari’s right; chicago does smell like chocolate if you’re on Clark St., near the Merchandise Mart in the “la-de-da” downtown business district of Chicago by the lake. there’s a chocolate factory nearby that makes the whole street smell like a pan of fudge brownies that are straight out of the oven. heavenly nostalgic smell…however, if you take the El back from Damen at 10:30 at night, you might smell the homeless guy who sat next to me on Wednesday night who smelled exactly the opposite of a pan of brownies….he smelled like poop B.O. So, yes, Chicago sometime does smell bad.But it’s still an incredible city. And the fact that you can buy dinner at Penny’s Noodle Shop, get a used book at Myopic & pick up a used cd at Reckless all for under $20 makes it one of my favorite cities in the world.

  2. Mmmmm polish chocolate bus exhaust… and, well, I dunno Neil, Boston smells like… drunk people? And… awesomeness?!
