cody has been waiting
his whole life for the GIGI album
to come out
and it did.

and then I listened to it
in his dream bunker
apartment

and it was the entire sun
shining into my ears!

and then the album cover
was part of my bike route of choice
in victoria

so that was nice

welcome to the less idyllic google earth version
of jamie tolagson's 'a local tree (for peter culley)'
because how exciting is it
that that car is parked in the same
spot?

and you know what?
google blurred out that license plate
but we've found a loophole

Did you like 2009? Is 2010 cool? What do you want to do?

Blogs Become Less Important

Carload of Whatever is not a radio show right now. It has changed into living room, beer and used/inherited record hang outs. Toronto's community radio stations have wait lists for volunteers and strange infighting. Maybe Andrea and I will start something else here.

It's the end of the decade.

Tonight! (Wednesday, July 15) - Colourbook, 'It It, Almonds, Cohen at Bayanihan Community Centre. Come watch Brock play in every band before he moves to Toronto! This will be the last Almonds show in Victoria for a while, and the last 'It It show forever. Also, come see Colourbook's newly spray painted van - SHITTY STEVE!

This weekend is the annual What the Heck Fest happening on the other side of the San Juan Islands in Anacortes, Washington. I think I will finally make it over there this year. More info and lineup is here. It costs the same to walk onto the ferry as it does to bring your bike. See you there!

After three years on the air, this Sunday will be the last Carload of Whatever. Thanks to anyone who ever tuned in, called in, read this poorly maintained blog, or came out to any of the A&R all ages shows. It was all pretty cool!

My Friend Wallis and Almonds, Cohen both stopped by this week for two live in-studio performances. If you missed out, the recordings will be available as podcasts via the CFUV website soon.

No playlist this week!

Sunday, June 28, 2009

Old Lifer Cody Spencer was here last Sunday to talk about the brand new Old Life Compilation. We worked our way through the songs on the new comp, and shared relatively interesting information about each band/artist along the way.

This Sunday be sure to tune into both Gumdrops & Lollipops and Carload of Whatever to hear TWO live in studio performances. G&L will be hosting a live set from My Friend Wallis, a new local tropical band made up of most of Vincat and some of their friends. Carload of Whatever will host an acoustic set from Almonds, Cohen.

My Friend Wallis will be releasing their debut record on Saturday night at the new 16 1/2 space in Fan Tan alley. Also performing that night will be Himalayan Bear and 'It It.

Almonds, Cohen will be playing live on Sunday night at Bayanihan Community Centre along with Iji, Watercolor Paintings and Ruthie & Winfield.

MUSIC WASTE IS ON!


Music Waste is an independent music festival that takes place every June in Vancouver. 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.

Music Waste info here

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:

Slam Dunk (Burrito band)
Mt Royal (From Medicine Hat)
My Friend Wallis (Victoria tropical from Vincat Crystal)
Haunter (From Winnipeg)

All Ages, $6, Doors at 8.
Party!

Johnnie is filling in for me this Sunday; see you next week.

The 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. Let's hope they can finally make it out to Victoria sometime soon so we can have fun like this:

I played Operation Ivy today. "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!

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...

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...

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. This image shows just how threatening Jay Reatard's attacker was...
Perhaps the only winner from the night was David Waldman (aka Kid With a Camera) who managed to capture the amazing photo above.

The Youtube user citizenbirdtube was obviously enraged by the incident:

"Real punks don't give a shit if a fan dances or spoofs a bit on stage as long as there is no threat to the band. That's what real punk and hardcore is all about - the close connection to the people.

Fuck JR. Just another MTV corporate whore."

The new Almonds, Cohen CD is out! It is called Amazing Grass. Brock spent a full year chipping away at recording these songs with Macadamia Brother Scott, leaving us all with a fantastic record that combines beautiful arrangements with really accomplished songwriting. Lots of people are very excited! You can find Amazing Grass at Ditch Records, or through the Old Life Records mail order.

Almonds, Cohen played in a tunnel on the Galloping Goose on a rainy Wednesday to celebrate the release of the record. It sort of looked like this:

I was away in Vancouver and America for a bit. Thanks to Johanna and Nathan for filling in for me the past few weeks.

While I was away the Victoria city council decided to stop Camas and the Brickyard from hosting shows. Andrea 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.

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.

Some good things that happened there:

Sat, April 17, 2009: Ghosts, ‘It It, Woolworm at Brickyard

Fri, March 6, 2009: Slam Dunk, ‘It It, Rooney & the Minglers, Old Gospel at Camas

Thurs, January 29, 2009: Listening Party, Slam Dunk, Almonds Cohen, Giant Wood Chipper at Brickyard

Sat, January 17, 2009: Elenora Thompson, Giant Wood Chipper, Walter TV, Fuji Hakayito at Camas

Sun, Nov 16, 2008: A&R Presents - The Bicycles, Hot Panda, Prairie Cat, The Secret World of Animals at Camas

Sat, Nov 15, 2008: Balacade, The Joe, Doug Hoyer, Nail Salon at Camas

Wed, June 18, 2008: Slam Dunk, Women, Mt Royal at Brickyard

Sun, May 18, 2008: A&R Presents - Laura Barrett, No Gold, The Macadamia Brothers at Camas

Thurs, May 1, 2008: Balacade, Nail Salon, Bear’s Lair at Brickyard

Fri, April 25, 2008: Oldlife Presents - The Blankket, Almonds Cohen, Blanck at Camas

December 30, 2007: A&R Presents - Endless Bummer, The Desks, Panty Boy, Balacade at Camas

...


In happier local music news, the Almonds, Cohen full length record is DONE! It is called Amazing Grass, and there is a special release show happening on Wednesday. Almonds, Cohen doesn't even need venues. This event is outside, in a semi-secret (okay, it's a tunnel) location. Meet at Recyclistas at 8:30. Bring a flashlight. It's outside. It's free. Macadamia Brother's are performing as well. Boom box amps.

I've been terrible at updating this blog for the past month and a half. Finishing up school consumed my spare time. When my updates disappear you should go read Regency Fops. Geoff posts playlists before the show goes to air. That would be impossible on Carload of Whatever.

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 Trying to Get Somewhere? This stuff keeps me up at night.

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. This week Johanna is filling in for me, followed by Nathan next Sunday. See you after that.

FUNDRIVE

Once a year CFUV gets really annoying and asks for money. 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.

You can donate money online here, or by calling 250-721-8700.

Independent radio is so cool! Help save the day!
