CANADA DAY 2013
*i hope it's obvious to any readers of this blog, but "my canada" includes people from all backgrounds, cultures, and persuasions (aka the wonderful folks who make up this great country, except for "those" people, and for a day, we'll forget about them...). from our aboriginal population to the various immigrants and settlers who have made canada their home over the years, it is clearly a land of much diversity and depth, something i cherish dearly. one thing our various cultures share in common is MUSIC and it's been a great passion of mine to learn more about this eclectic breadth of sounds. from country to folk, reggae to pop, jazz, soul, rock and roll, and beyond, the output (and quest to find them) is E-N-D-L-E-S-S... this coming monday (july 1st), the stunt man and i will share a special hand-picked selection of canadian 7" vinyl singles for your listening pleasure. the hitch??? you have to make your way down to save on meats (43 w. hastings street) in vancouver, B.C.!@#$%!!! and while this night is sponsored by stiegl, you may catch this player sipping on something a little more suited to such a special day!@#$%!!! what do you think, should i finally crack the seal on that bottle of schramm organic gin!@#$%???

sorry stompin' tom...
i intended a day of blog silence after your passing (anybody who hasn't seen across this land w/ stompin' tom connors, watch it NOW!@#$%!!!), but this NME article got me laughing out LOUD this morning!!!
Ex-Oasis honcho Noel Gallagher on the Brits Awards:
"There are no characters left in the music business. When we first started going there was a healthy percentage of people, and we were all dirt-kickers from council estates, and we all couldn’t believe our luck that we were at the Brits. You go in now and everybody is a careerist. It’s very corporate, and you know what I’ve actually seen people doing at the Brits? Eating. I saw the drummer from Muse smoking an electronic cigarette. A cigarette with a battery in. I had to say to him: ‘Really? Really? Is that where you are at? Do me a favour mate, either have a proper one outside, or don’t have one.’ It lit up green when he had a drag of it. Nonsense. He said that immortal line – ‘Oh you know how it is mate’. And I said ‘I’m sorry mate, I actually don’t.’
Gallagher continued his outspoken views on the ceremony, calling the night "instantly forgettable" and rallying against young people who wear hats. "It was an instantly forgettable night," said Gallagher. "There was nothing going on at the Brits, there was nothing going on at the aftershow parties. There seemed to be a lot of young people in hats, with iPhones. They’re either all involved in some massive video game that they’re all hooked up to, or they’re just texting each other saying ‘Where are you, what are you doing?’ And they’ve all got hats. Where did the hat come from? We’re going back to some Dickensian nightmare. I don’t understand it. People with hats and Blackberrys under the age of 30 should be shot. Or stoned to death."
