Both clubs were mentioned in the news clips that I saw. They also showed footage of some clubber people walking into the CZ and then walking right back out when they were greeted by the cops just inside the door, lol. I passed by Cosmic Steve on Bloor on Saturday afternoon.. Wish I knew this was gonna go down; I would've given him a heads up!

This is on again right now on Doc Zone on CBC Newsworld.

I'd recommend Tungsten's "Just A Pinner" mix from circa 2000. Awesome mix!

A friend just sent me this. Her message is quite profound and inspiring, check it out: Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another. Why you should listen to her: One morning, a blood vessel in Jill Bolte Taylor's brain exploded. As a brain scientist, she realized she had a ringside seat to her own stroke. She watched as her brain functions shut down one by one: motion, speech, memory, self-awareness ... Amazed to find herself alive, Taylor spent eight years recovering her ability to think, walk and talk. She has become a spokesperson for stroke recovery and for the possibility of coming back from brain injury stronger than before. In her case, although the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy from her right. From her home base in Indiana, she now travels the country on behalf of the Harvard Brain Bank as the "Singin' Scientist."

Man that job is made for you... You're hired! When can you start?

YOu must've seen this eh? I just came across it.

A friend of mine caught Broken Social Scene in Taipei (Taiwan) the other day -- official Jambands.Ca show review forthcoming -- and caught Charles Spearin's commendable nose neighbour on camera for all to behold. I'm impressed!

I don't see why not. Ratdog rocked it at Darien last August.

thanks

Thanks for the review, sounds amazing!! I`m reading Levon`s autobiography right now and listening to a whole lot of The Band.

I went to the show at the Phoenix on Thursday, good times!

BUMP Anyone else want a gig or gigs? Get in touch! Latest news: - We should have upcoming shows listed in Eye and Now magazines, beginning March 20, if all goes according to plan. - Looks like we're going to have Ben Whiteley & Suzy Wilde doing a weekly Monday night gig, starting in the next few weeks.

I think you mean Beth In Battle Mode; they're playing at Rancho Relaxo starting at 1:00am. The CMW Band List for 'B' says That's the one Brad! They were good enough that I'd go see them again. I also saw White Cowbell Oklahoma for the first time last night, at the Horseshoe... HOLY SHITBALLS! That was off the hook. Definitely going again next time around.

I just came across this band while looking through the Hugh's Room calendar and thought they were pretty awesome.. Afrissippi. Equal parts West African blues/afro-beat and Mississippi delta blues. Like a cross between Ali Farka Toure and RL Burnside. Check out their MySpace for a few nice samples. http://www.myspace.com/afrissippi May 9 - Freddytown - James Joyce Pub May 17 - Montreal - Kola Note May 18 - Wakefield - Black Sheep May 21 - The Hammer - PJC May 22 - Toronto - Hugh's

According to the Hugh's Room calendar. Yahoooo! My first Folkalarm show!

I may be popping by; probably after Slowcoaster will be done though unfortunately. There's another band on the bill that I wouldn't mind checking out. (Called Beth-someething something)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ White Pine Pictures & Clearwater Media present: TAR SANDS: THE SELLING OF ALBERTA What price is Canada willing to pay for a stake in this century's greatest energy bonanza? Director Tom Radford Producer Peter Raymont World Premiere broadcast on Doc Zone CBC TV - Thursday, March 13, 2008 - 9:00pm "Tar Sands: The Selling of Alberta" captures the intersecting storylines of a remarkable cast of characters eager to cash in on the oil boom in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Washington lobbyists, Newfie pipefitters, Chinese investors and Norwegian industrialists descend on tar-soaked "Fort McMoney", a modern-day Eldorado, where rents are sky- rocketing and cocaine abuse is four times the provincial average. Up for grabs - a stake in a $100 billion energy bonanza and Canada's economic sovereignty. This one-hour documentary, commissioned by the CBC, tracks the growth of the world's largest reserve of "unconventional" oil. A Florida-sized "environmental sacrifice zone" has become Canada's contribution to U.S. energy security in the post-9/11 world. But for many, the Tar Sands are a global warming disaster. As Fort McMurray bursts at the seams, children from Thunder Bay to Cape Breton are made tar-sands orphans by their migrant-worker parents. Canada's petrodollar breaks the back of the manufacturing economy in the East. Cancer rates skyrocket downstream of Fort McMurray while Rocky Mountain glaciers melt and disappear. And all the while, Alberta crude goes south to US markets while Eastern Canada pays ever more for insecure Middle East oil. In an isolated region of the north, Canada's future is being carved out of the forest at a breakneck pace. "Tar Sands: The Selling of Alberta" questions how much Canada is willing to sacrifice for a stake in this century's greatest energy bonanza. "Tar Sand" features interviews with stake-holders from all sides including former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed (1971-1985); journalist and author Andrew Nikiforuk; General (retired) Charles Wald, Former Deputy Commander, USAF; oil broker Paul Michael Wihbey, President of the U.S. company GWEST Consulting; Jeff Wiscombe, welder from Newfoundland and Stig Bergseth, Senior VP, STATOIL, Norway's largest company. After co-directing the award-winning Arctic Dreamer in 2004, two of Canada's most respected documentary filmmakers reunite as Director and Producer of Tar Sands: The Selling of Alberta. Edmonton-based director Tom Radford's career spans thirty five years, portraying the distinctive character of the West and North to Canada and the world. Producer, Peter Raymont is celebrating the 30th year of White Pine Pictures, having traveled to Ethiopia, Nicaragua, India, Rwanda, Chile and the High Arctic to direct and produce over 100 documentary films, including the Emmy Award-winning Shake Hands with the Devil: the Journey of Romeo Dallaire.

heahhhaah I'm home and gonna try to make it down tonight! Not sure though, with this weather... I've actually never seen The Eggmen before. (That was embarassing). Does Mike Daley still play with them? Do they still crank out the sitar?

My collection is a similar size. I can think of one problem right off the top of my head: Sometimes I will add an album to my collection and it will be listed as a compilation, but it isn't a compilation. I'll right-click "Get info" for all the files in the album and un-check Compilation.. But it doesn't WORK. Same holds at times for the other way around: A compilation will not be marked as a compilation, so I have all these artists with their own headings.. So I select them all and "Get Info" and check "Compilations".. but it doesn't WORK. Usually it works, sometimes it doesn't. Annoying.

I've had similar issues with iTunes! Its hard to manage huge music collections with it sometimes. I'll come back to this thread when I finally get around to fixing things up, thanks!

I think The Spades are opening this show.

A friend of mine has been speaking good things about this Shpongle fellow.. Psytrance yeah?

The Trews @ C2 in Thunder Bay, 4/26!
