I know I would have paid as much for them if there was no opener, but knowing its Caribou makes giving that large money all the more easier. Very very excited to see them open. I missed them each time they came to town on the Swim tours and before that.

mmhm true, I had to go with one eventually...no point in deliberating any further. Went with MXL V67G off amazon for new for $99. Also through in Beach House's Teen Dream just because.

Oh yeah around the 200 area is my budget (v67 is quite less than that -- good).

Yeah it came down to NT1A vs MXL V67G as my final two contestants, but the more I reviews and comparisons I read, V67 came out on top more often.

Hmmm...

Old thread bump -- so I need a budget condenser mic to record acoustic instruments (guitar, uke, violin, piano). I've been doing a lot of research and I'm about to make a final decision and I think I'll go with the MXL V67G.

Anyone have experience with that one? Before I go through any last minute other suggestions?

Phew, stress but secured 2 GA for Montreal.

^ when does that air?

Yeah they were really promoting it last year, everywhere. Even toured it when they could get some members together. I bought the album when I saw a performance on Canada Day, its quite good.

^Glasto '03 that show is legendary.

Definitely in for Montreal. As I recall, they are choosing to play indoor locations (mostly) as it is more befitting of the TKOL tracks' vibe.

Here's The Devil's Harp:

I'll upload Devil Back His Heart and Little Lover later tonight.

In. I've only ever previously seen them as opener / festival slot, this will be my first time catching them in their own right.

Hey there, last night they broadcasted Patrick Watson's concert at the 2009 Montreal International Jazz Fest on ARTV. They will be re-broadcasting it on Friday and Sunday and was wondering if anyone had the ability to capture it (preferably in HD)?

Please do let me know, I'd be great to have a HD recording of that broadcast.

Thank you,

Does anyone have a hookup for volunteering opportunities?

^ ohh looks nice. Fortunately just now, I finally found a friend who came through on the request.

Persistence :-)

So, I'm trying to finish record some parts of my music and since I'm back in my work routine, I only have the weekends to record. Unfortunately these amps keep getting rented out before I can catch them, and I feel if I rent it a day ahead of time its a waste as I only get to record Saturday and Sunday daytime.

So, just a super shot in the dark does anyone have one of these amps that I could rent or just borrow for a weekend??? I'd like to think the few people that know me here in person can attest that I'm a responsible person who can make sure nothing gets damaged.

Just pretty down after making the call to find out Blues Jr, Hot Rod even Twin Reverb all rented out...and well was REALLY looking forward to wrapping up my parts.

Thanks anyway

EDIT: FOUND :content:

buying tix from the box office at the NAC saves you 4$ per ticket btw

Thanks for the tip.

Woohoo!

Adventures In Your Own Backyard, the fourth full-length effort from Patrick Watson, was recorded in Montreal after a grueling five-year run that saw Patrick and his band (bassist Mishka Stein bass, guitarist Simon Angell and drummer Robbie Kuster) tour the world in support of two critically-acclaimed and successful albums, including the Polaris Music Prize-winning Close To Paradise.

The album’s title is a nod to both Watson’s attempt to make a more “personal, humble†record—and to the fact that it was recorded almost entirely in his apartment in Montreal. By contrast, both Close to Paradise and especially 2009’s Wooden Arms were recorded over long periods of time, in many different locations around the globe. As Kuster explains, “Pat's studio environment allowed us to be relaxed and feel like we were in an informal space...our own. That really let us dig in to the writing and the arranging.†The result is an album that is still ripe with the touchstones one has come to expect from Patrick Watson and his collaborators, but permeated with a greater sense of patience, and confidence.

Lucky for you they are coming back to Hamilton on Nov 24 at the Casbah.
