I took in a day of skiing with a friend this past Saturday, and it's surprising how exhausted I was that evening. The day after was somewhat better and I did manage to catch the closing evening of the 2005 Brampton Indie Arts Festival. I notably caught the showing of the Halifax hip hop scene documentary "The 902", plus performances from Jim Guthrie, Bob Wiseman and Ron Sexsmith. And to top it all off, Brampton native Scott Thompson was hosting the evening and performed some outrageously funny(and edgy) improv and sketch comedy between musical acts. Suddenly, Brampton's become cool. Now, if only Mississauga'd follow suit. Photos and review to follow.
The Wedding Present made an appearance on yesterday's[Monday February 7, 2005] edition of BBC 6 Music's Gideon Coe program. Listen[around the 21:06:00 mark] to the session. The band played a Cinerama song as well as a Wedding Present song, the names of which escape me at the moment. As usual, catch it while you can as programs are usually only archived for a week at a time.
Lee's Palace is listing a new bunch of upcoming shows including:
-> Toots and The Maytals, March 22nd, $26.50
-> Psychedelic Furs, March 31st and April 1st, tickets TBA
Pitchfork lists its Top 100 Albums of 2000 to 2004. Update: I have only 21 of the albums listed, which makes me realize how much music I've missed completely. And c'mon, The Shins' "Oh Inverted World" NOT making the top 20 completely befuddles me. "New Slang" is MY FAVOURITE song of the last 4 years.
