Down With Disease still to come, although the main line doesn't resonate with the occasion. 2001 too.

Fikus - weird, awesome tune, love mike's vocals and bassline, never seen it live though Guyute - still awesome, i could deal with a few more Velvet Sea - Coventry gave it a renewed life, ironically BBFCFM - never seen one I don't think. Waste - agreed, no more waste Josie Wales - beautiful song, doesn't work well in big ampitheatre settings Dirt - see Josie Wales Swept Away>Steep - love it! Bug - like it! Live though, not sure. Honestly it has nothing on Oh Sweet Nothing Prince Caspian - agreed, it could be shelved happily Meatstick - Good in that Page gets to shine in the intro.

Yeah Anne, thanks! Looking forward to more.

Opener: Destiny Unbound Closer: Good Times, Bad Times

I've actually always had a soft spot for Fikus too, seriously. When it comes to cool, eerie fucked up basslines, it doesn't get much better! Ah well, to each his own, but I'm right.

JEFF COFFIN, MICHAEL OCCHIPINTI => The Rex, 9:30 pm WED MAR 11 Just noticed that on Zoilus.com and thought I'd point it out.

I like Esther. Take it back Skelter!

Heavy Things.. damn too late!

Are any of these great pics floating around in desktop-ready format?

This is way off topic and has probably been covered, but... Bouche, is your picture the game show host from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire India / Slumdog Millionaire? Looks just like him!

This is exciting! Phish.com says YEM was "started and stopped, and restarted."

I wonder if they've still got the chops..

Oh she's looking in "Centre Town", up to $1000. What's that part of town like?

Good article. It'll be interesting to hear what these shows are like. I wish 'em all the best!

Thanks for the tips folks! She's upping her spending range to $900-$1000 tops I think. Well now that you mention it.. I am currently on the lookout for a job in your fine city.

http://www.throwdownyourheart.com/ Thanks for pointing this out, the music on the website sounds AMAZING! Its a documentary film, btw. And an album too I imagine. Can't wait to see/hear more.

For my girlfriend. Any leads?? She is looking for something downtown or Glebe area. Probably somehting in the range of $700-$800, for a one-bedroom. Thanks for any help that may be out there!

I'll be there!

This is gonna sound lame, but I don't know how to play SHNs. Anywhere where I can download shows in plain ol' MP3?

I've got the song 'Pebbles & Marbles' in my head and am wanting to hear some of this fine band once again. Just checked the live music archive and demonoid and no luck.. I got booted off of STMusic again so I can't go there. Anyone?

Yes, a great night!!! I'd also like to thank everyone who took part in the Mines Action Canada raffle and 50/50. And huge shout outs to Jay and NuFunk for supporting the cause with force.

I'm pumped for this! Hope to see some of you there.

The cafe that I worked in last year, LINUXCAFFE, is completely run on Ubuntu! Everything from the cash register to the heating system to the stereo. They have monthly Ubuntu geek meetings and everything! www.linuxcaffe.ca

Great article in today's Toronto Sun by Errol Nazareth: Link Mining Nu cause Cash raised through funk festival kickoff benefits anti-landmine group By ERROL NAZARETH Nu Metal. Neo Jazz. Nu Funk. Neo Soul. Doesn't seem like a year goes by without some hack coughing up a, ahem, new (or is it nu?) musical category. Those of us who believe in the existence of only two categories -- bad music and good music -- find this habit that some of our contemporaries have of throwing up cute names for what they believe are new genres to be laughable. Which brings us nicely to the second annual NuFunk Festival that kicks off tomorrow at Revival on College St. Is the event just a straight up funk extravaganza or does it have an agenda? "I don't think we're ambitious enough to try to redefine a genre, but we're always trying to broaden people's minds about how music evolves by different styles coming together," says Jay Cleary, the festival's artistic director. "NuFunk -- as an organization -- puts on events that showcase a variety of influences, with artists who have relationships with other arenas where their profiles aren't as high. "For example, Jason Wilson, who's leading a tribute to (late legendary keyboard king) Jackie Mittoo next Thursday, just recorded with saxman Pee Wee Ellis who was James Brown's arranger and who's been called the man who invented funk," Cleary adds. "(DJ) Adham Shaikh definitely has a funky feel to his global rhythms, as does a lot of Eccodek's live global fusion grooves," he says. "For an all-Canadian double bill, you can't get much funkier than God Made Me Funky and the Souljazz Orchestra, and Brownman's been known to burn it up with funk bands. I think the festival's got plenty for the funk purists out there." As exciting as the lineup of this year's fest is the fact that funds raised at tomorrow's launch will benefit Mines Action Canada. On its website, MAC describes itself as "an international leader working to eliminate the serious humanitarian, environmental and development consequences of landmines and other explosive remnants of war." Cleary says MAC's Kevin O'Neill contacted him about the possibility of organizing a fundraiser to coincide with the annual Canadian Landmine Action Week, which began earlier this week and concludes March 1. For the last 10 years, CLAW has worked hard to raise awareness about the ongoing tragedy of landmines claiming thousands of innocent lives and maiming countless more people every year. "We were honoured to be asked to have tomorrow's show be included in Canadian Landmine Action Week, and the musicians were as well," Cleary says. "Weapons that kill so many innocent people who have no role in a particular conflict need to be eliminated, and we hope we're able to help spread that message to our community. "I admire the fact that MAC is keeping political pressure on international governments to fulfill the landmine ban treaty which was signed 10 years ago," Cleary says. "Canada has long been an advocate for the ban of landmines and there is still much work to be done. As I'm working closely with MAC to promote this event, I am learning more and more about Canada's role as an international ambassador of peace." Funky town God Made Me Funky, who describe their sound as "Sly Stone meets Parliament Funkadelic meets Jamiroquai meets Afrika Bambaataa," and Ottawa's Souljazz Orchestra, who brilliantly blend funk, jazz and Afrobeat, launch the NuFunk Festival at Revival Bar (783 College St.) tomorrow. 10 p.m. $20 at the door. Champion in the Arena: The Second Annual Tribute to the Keyboard King of Studio One Jackie Mittoo happens at Revival next Thursday (March 5). The event features Jason Wilson & Friends and House of David Gang. 8 p.m. $20 at the door.

Love it! YATS, come say hello to me at the Mines Action Canada table wouldya?
