Bought my advance youth weekend pass. (Even though theres a chance I may not get to see everything i want, i still wanted to contribute to this great festival).

He released a new single yesterday (Tuesday May 25). http://www.secretcityrecords.com/news/scr012-20 Brilliant song, but I remember watching the live videos last month and enjoying those a bit more. But before that here is a link to a live version off it from Vinyl Cafe: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6rxum9 And some YT ones: Without Erika Angell + quartet: Oh and they are playing Edmonton Folk Festival.

Yup, thats what it looks like.

This is going well, I haven't negotiated price yet. But saw some pics and its great. But I'm gonna go over and try it out in person and if all goes well ... :-) You guys reckon it'd be a good purchase?

Heard about them earlier in the year, got around to them last week. Superb album. Thumbs up!

The Great Canadian Bungee awaits my brother and I on Sunday. Get some biking, bbqs, and hedge trimming in there too. As well as hanging with the cousins and nephew.

^ Yeah I broke alot of my stubborn rules. So I'm open to any (ebay sales and any good guitars) recommendations. Japan Tele eh. Interesting, I'll inquire about that. Thanks

Hows this Washburn HB35 semi hollow http://www.usedottawa.com/classified-ad/11292210

See Patrick Watson on Sat night @ Hotel Cafe. Intimate setting for a band that is putting on some of the best live shows around.

I'm officially now open to ebay suggestion, haha. With my $500 guitar allocation.

DAMN, right when I was going over to check it out. The master-seller (the guy selling is selling on behalf) calls seller and tells him he's not yet ready to part with it and pulled it off :-(( Was really hoping to nab that!

How is this looking? http://www.usedottawa.com/classified-ad/12054124 And speaking of Squire's how about their 90s Jagmaster made in Japan. http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-1998-Squier-Jagmaster-Vista-Series-W0QQAdIdZ205401967# ?

Alright, point made. But, thing is I'm not down with buying off ebay (not because i don't trust or haven't done before, just for other reasons) and I don't need the best guitar in the world. Just a solid guitar for 300-500 range that I can find locally. I mean, i really like telecaster style, but I'd be open to others. ...or would Fender Standard American Teles be a better bet?

http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-Fender-Telecaster-W0QQAdIdZ204541833 Pros: Within price range (just about), fender telecaster (mim) is what i wanted, need one soon because im not a patient person but i could be persuaded on this one Cons: Don't like the colour, the lack of patience and investigating elsewhere could be a con for myself here too

Excellent lineup! Granted these aren’t the biggest names, but there are a lot of really talented, upcoming, local acts that talk the “folk†aspect to new areas. ...just throw in a Patrick Watson and we're good! :-) (sadly theres a high chance I may not be able to make it too :-((

Its an excellent album. Chase Scene is my favorite, but that main riff on Love Sick gets embedded in my head. I like whole album a ton.

I would so love to see them live, but like you said, Sundays are tricky and I got some early stuff at work Mon morning to take care of. bumma

Back in January there was this large post on R3: http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/blogs/2010/1/Your-Guide-to-Upcoming-Canadian-Album-Releases-for-2010

The openers are fantastic: I won't be attending the show as I committed to Zaphods that night, and I'll be seeing TT next week opening for Patrick Watson. But, I know some folks who would probably love a spot. let me check.

I like the latter lineup even more! Super props man.
