It began 15 years ago as a protest against corporately sponsored, industry oriented, 'pay-to-apply' festivals, and has since grown into the most interesting music event in the city. Music Waste is locally oriented, with the great majority of bands playing being from Vancouver. This year over 100 bands will play at 25 shows throughout East Vancouver. Passes are only $15! If you find yourself in Vancouver in the next week/weekend, go hang out and get a crash course in all things Vancouver. Lucky for me, I'll be killing the rest of this week in Vancouver. Hopefully I can bring back some new music for the show.<br /><br /><a href="http://musicwaste.ca/">Music Waste info here</a><br /><br />If you can't make it to Vancouver, there is a mega-party show happening here in Victoria on Friday night at the Fifty-Fifty:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Slam Dunk</span> (Burrito band)<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Mt Royal</span> (From Medicine Hat)<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">My Friend Wallis</span> (Victoria tropical from Vincat Crystal)<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Haunter</span> (From Winnipeg)<br /><br />All Ages, $6, Doors at 8.<br />Party!<br /><br />Johnnie is filling in for me this Sunday; see you next week.<br /><br />Playlist:<br /><br />Artist - Album - Song<br />Inquiet - A Fifty Gallon Drum of Savage Customs, Fresh Flesh and Random Pop - Fresh Flesh<br />Yo La Tengo - Summer Sun - Beach Party Tonight<br />Atlas Sound - Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel - Recent Bedroom<br />Lotus Plaza - The Floodlight Collective - Quicksand<br />Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat - White Light/White Heat<br />City Center - s/t - Life Was A Problem<br />City Center - s/t - Gladest<br />Makeout Videotape - Heat Wave EP - Slush Puppy Love<br />Mt Royal - Mad Foxes - Come On<br />Kidnapping - Music Waste Mix Tape - Diamonds From Coal<br />Tigerhead - Music Waste Mix Tape - Lion<br />No Gold - 7" - Miami<br />Grouper - Way Their Crept - Untitled<br />Lake - Oh, The Places We'll Go - Bad Dream<br />Think About Life - Family - Set You On Fire<br />The Dirty Projectors - Single - Stillness is the Move<br />Deradoorian - Mind Raft - Weed Jam<br />Almonds, Cohen - Amazing Grass - Acadianevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04810385630267058891noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506818572101508740.post-61127834556251561602009-05-31T17:04:00.000-07:002009-06-01T12:37:24.610-07:00Sunday, May 31, 2009The new Think About Life album is totally crazy. Holy smokes. Andrea described it well saying that it feels like falling into a giant pool of lemonade. It is the silliest, cheesiest, most fun summertime album I could image.

"I know that things are getting tougher when you cant get top off from the bottom of the barrel. Wide open road of my future now...Its looking fucking narrow!" Woah man!<br /><br />I also played a Jay Reatard song, mostly so that I could talk about him punching people. Last summer in Toronto, Jay Reatard got really mad when a drunk dude jumped up on stage, so he punched him in the face and stormed off. Luckily, this was all documented...<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3zOA8i9UnEQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3zOA8i9UnEQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />The venue the show was at - The Silver Dollar - is home to the somewhat infamous, sporadic, drug addicted booker Dan Burke. After Jay Reatard and co. left the stage, Dan jumped up and taunted the band and the audience, making the whole show into a pretty good punk viral video...<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NKzg4Z0jws8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NKzg4Z0jws8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />After this all happened, Jay Reatard began to attack Dan Burke and the Silver Dollar in interviews, saying lack of security, etc was the reason for the incident.

Thanks to Johanna and Nathan for filling in for me the past few weeks. <br /><br />While I was away the Victoria city council decided to stop <a href="http://camas.ca/">Camas</a> and the Brickyard from hosting shows. <a href="http://members.shaw.ca/cupandsaucer/index.html">Andrea</a> already articulated how I feel about this, but I wanted to mention it on here as well. All ages venues are important to local music scenes; they allow for the entire community to participate in shows, regardless of age. I spent a large part of my underage high school years at all ages shows. I always dreaded seeing my favorite bands come through town with the '19+' tag attached to the listing.<br /><br />Camas made it easy for anyone to put on shows. Andrea and I used to complain about the lack of affordable all ages venues in Victoria. Camas stopped our complaining for a year and a half. The space supported several music communities in Victoria for that period, hosting local punk, hardcore, noise and indie rock shows on a weekly basis. As of this Friday, May 15, Camas will no longer be having shows. Luckily, the Fifty Fifty Arts Collective stepped back into the picture right before we lost Camas and the Brickyard as venues. Vancouver has been having similar issues with all ages venues being shut down recently. It is a problem that will recur, and Victoria is not the only place this happens. Technically, these venues were illegal, operating outside of their zoning designations. I'm not sure what needs to happen to ensure that a venue can operate 'legally,' but at least we had those spaces for the time that we did.<br /><br />Some good things that happened there:<br /><br />Sat, April 17, 2009: Ghosts, ‘It It, Woolworm at Brickyard<br /><br />Fri, March 6, 2009: Slam Dunk, ‘It It, Rooney & the Minglers, Old Gospel at Camas<br /><br />Thurs, January 29, 2009: Listening Party, Slam Dunk, Almonds Cohen, Giant Wood Chipper at Brickyard<br /><br />Sat, January 17, 2009: Elenora Thompson, Giant Wood Chipper, Walter TV, Fuji Hakayito at Camas <br /><br />Sun, Nov 16, 2008: A&R Presents - The Bicycles, Hot Panda, Prairie Cat, The Secret World of Animals at Camas <br /><br />Sat, Nov 15, 2008: Balacade, The Joe, Doug Hoyer, Nail Salon at Camas<br /><br />Wed, June 18, 2008: Slam Dunk, Women, Mt Royal at Brickyard<br /><br />Sun, May 18, 2008: A&R Presents - Laura Barrett, No Gold, The Macadamia Brothers at Camas<br /><br />Thurs, May 1, 2008: Balacade, Nail Salon, Bear’s Lair at Brickyard<br /><br />Fri, April 25, 2008: Oldlife Presents - The Blankket, Almonds Cohen, Blanck at Camas<br /><br />December 30, 2007: A&R Presents - Endless Bummer, The Desks, Panty Boy, Balacade at Camas<br /><br />...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXH9hW6YVLAqz0KBVo2fOOqtPiXWDYrD1he3mq01DopR0ZHb6aacjcA1DkrW19RY7IwdnFWEitADzlWl9zqRPzlou02Kbaanrw14eiSkaAJrrZsNiGIxJyiZn9sBq_lUEr3AfGyOy1z2M/s1600-h/amazingcohen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 385px; height: 384px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXH9hW6YVLAqz0KBVo2fOOqtPiXWDYrD1he3mq01DopR0ZHb6aacjcA1DkrW19RY7IwdnFWEitADzlWl9zqRPzlou02Kbaanrw14eiSkaAJrrZsNiGIxJyiZn9sBq_lUEr3AfGyOy1z2M/s400/amazingcohen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334631996718251490" /></a><br />In happier local music news, the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/almondsgoing">Almonds, Cohen</a> full length record is DONE!

Finishing up school consumed my spare time. When my updates disappear you should go read <a href="http://regencyfops.blogspot.com/">Regency Fops</a>. Geoff posts playlists <span style="font-style:italic;">before</span> the show goes to air. That would be impossible on Carload of Whatever.<br /><br />Things I think about: Why did Julie Doiron re-record songs she wrote for Shotgun & Jaybird in 2006? Why did she decide to do it on this record, and not on the other two records she's put out since <span style="font-style:italic;">Trying to Get Somewhere</span>? This stuff keeps me up at night.<br /><br />Carload of Whatever is heading into its last summer. I should have lots of free time over the next few months, so hopefully that translates into well organized, informative programming. That being said, I'll be gone for the next two weeks.

The money we raise during the week of FUNDRIVE fully supports the station for the entire year. As a volunteer programmer, I am required to raise over $200 for CFUV through my show. So here I am, asking you to help out CFUV for another year and donate some money to my show tomorrow. Any donations of $25 or more are eligble either for one trip into our 'Small Room of Big Prizes' (each trip allows you to take one CD, LP, etc as a gift from the room) or a tax receipt. My past visits to the 'small room' have rewarded me with a Sonic Youth rarities collection, a Hank record, a Ninja High School CD and a fancy CFUV t-shirt. You want to be in there.<br /><br />You can donate money online <a href="http://cfuv.uvic.ca/funding/fundrive.html">here</a>, or by calling 250-721-8700.<br /><br />Independent radio is so cool!

It was strange to see them sandwiched between commentary on <span style="font-style:italic;">The Hills</span>, however it was also very cool that a band like dd/mm/yyyy could find themselves performing on national television (MTV Canada that is). Their new record <span style="font-style:italic;">Black Square</span> just might be the most 'normal' thing this band has ever released. The songs generally follow pretty basic ideas of song structure, with relatively consistent tempos and time signatures. The jagged schizophrenia of the band is still there, however it just seems a little more palatable this time around. The best thing about this record is that they stripped it down to 35 minutes and just 12 tracks, as opposed to <span style="font-style:italic;">Are They Masks?</span> and <span style="font-style:italic;">The Blue Screen of Death</span>, both of which have 20+ tracks and come close to the hour mark. The band are in the middle of another massive tour right now, a mode they seem to constantly be in. They are certainly one of the harder working bands in Toronto in their consistent break out of the Southern Ontario bubble. I've tried to bring them here a few times, but schedules never lined up. Hopefully someone can make that happen in the near future. Thumbs up for the new record!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Black Square</span> comes out on March 17 through <a href="http://www.wearebusybodies.com/">We Are Busy Bodies</a>. <br /><br />Who is going to Leonard Cohen?

I assumed it would be in the same vein as the two recent 'Broken Social Scene Presents' records. While Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning's records in the BSS Presents series were good, I think they lost the power of the sprawling collective by not utilizing the diverse songwriting amongst them. I was concerned that a Charles Spearin record would continue the trend of Broken Social Scene acting as a backing band, signaling a slow move away from what made records like <span style="font-style:italic;">You Forgot It In People</span> so good. I was pleasantly surprised to find <span style="font-style:italic;">The Happiness Project</span> to be something completely new.<br /><br />Rather than acting as another solo record from a member of Broken Social Scene, <span style="font-style:italic;">The Happiness Project</span> rejects the concept of conventional songwriting, instead using the intonation of conversation to map out melodies. In essence the songs on the record are written by the cadence of individual conversations about happiness. The result is a complex and beautiful record that successfully draws attention to the artistic value of daily life and conversation. Perhaps a little trying at times, the record on the whole is dense while being surprisingly listenable. The track Mr. Gowrie seems to fully realize the power of this strange songwriting mode. The record employs the musical talents of quite a few Broken Social Scene members and is being released on Kevin Drew's Arts and Crafts Records, but don't be mislead...this is not a Broken Social Scene release. This is weird. In a good way.<br /><br />The record comes on on Tuesday, February 10th.

Newman record. I really liked the first song of his that I played. Andrea described it as "orchestral." I do too. I haven't listened to the whole record yet though, so I can't comment on the whole thing. I have a question for you though...his myspace page says 'Brooklyn, New York' as his location. Did Carl abandon his Vancouver roots for the mecca of hip?<br /><br />The new Animal Collective really is good, but of course you already know that. I take issue with the last song, but apart from that, it is a pretty easy record to like. They are playing in Vancouver on May 24 at the Commodore. No word on who with yet, but I imagine that show will sell out very quick, if it hasn't already. Lets see how long this one stays on the CFUV charts.<br /><br />Also, the Victoria Film Festival starts on Friday!
