Who didn't mouth KevO at Bluesfest. Dude gets around.

Yesterday'd

Rheo Thompson chocolate, from Stratford Ontario. Grew up with this chocolate. So good.

1. I'd rather see these shows than the Phish festival 2. Whoever put money on U2 and Metallica on the same bill as Aretha Franklin is a genius

So that's why Metallica rescheduled the Ottawa gig... [color:purple]Brutal lineup

Bonus points for posting a useless map

Famous Frenchy's New burger place on Rideau

would it kill them to play montreal. jesus. (etc)

Too bad we can't kick people off the internet who smugly repeat themselves over and over...

Although it should be noted that Zaphod's in Ottawa has a drink called the Pangalactic Gargleblaster.

itunes has a ton of radio stations built in. cbc radio 3 is pretty good. i think you can stream npr stations as well

I had Selena for a few months last year but it didn't work out

I dare anyone to say Snailhouse sucks. I like Japandroids as well. Have heard one track from Brasstronaut and none from the others listed above, that I know of anyways.

in soviet russia, house rent you!

please translate to dog years

Indeed. I took 'security' to mean damage, while it can obviously be better applied to last month rent

oh, well-played. i gotta copywrite that.

and security deposits are BS. they are common, yes, but technically not allowed under ontario legislation.

oh, and dogs get used to the kongs with treats inside. change it up day to day. and they love love love it if you freeze it. plus it takes longer for them to get it all out. yogourt with jam, frozen. peanut butter, frozen.

don't make a big deal when you leave. say goodbye to her 10 minutes before you go, then ignore her. when you come in, don't make a big deal either - wait ten minutes, let her out and don't reward her if she barks / jumps up in that time.

some great acts on that lineup. in addition to what you posted, i'd recommend Timber Timbre, Hey Rosetta!, Library Voices, Julie Doiron (of course), Ohbijou, Patrick Watson (definitely see this), The Grates, Clues, 12-lane highway is always fun...

scottieking was there

Handsome Furs dedicated a song to David Carradine

last year local bands (at least the ones that I know) got $1000 + full festival passes for each member. plus beer and food vouchers on the day they're playing. plus a few guestlist spots. don't know about this year but i'd suspect it's fairly similar. although the bands that played in the market didn't get festival passports and i doubt the payout was as generous

Todd, heard you on the radio this morning... Good work! Sounds like the kids had a blast!
