Midweek odds and ends

Calling all bloggers from Chicago and the surrounding area. I am stealing a page out of the Contrast Podcast handbook and attempting to put together a collaborative podcast featuring submissions from my fellow Chicago-area bloggers. The theme is ‘your favorite Chicago music past or present’ and should consist of a song and spoken intro. Drop me a line if you are interested. The deadline for submissions is August 1.

Are you just itching for some music from At The Drive-In? Well, if you are, I don’t have any, but I do have the next best thing. The Mars Volta have posted a new song from their forthcoming album Amputechture on their Myspace page. The album is due out August 22nd. Coincidentally (or not) Sparta also has a new song posted to their Myspace page. It is the first single from their forthcoming album Threes which is due out on October 10th.

    We’re working on ours. I’ll try to get mine to you this weekend. Jon may take longer since he’s new to podcasting.
