Music Waste was great. The Old Life Party was super great. Tune in next week for a special Old Life Records show. Cody and others (Brock?) will come and talk about the brand new Old Life compilation.

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:
