  1. Always a great mix at the Casbah, good job.

    Wed Dec 19th, Spherical Christmas Party

    featuring acts such as LURE, TWO-MINUTE MIRACLES and SQUARE ROOT OF MARGARET.

    Square Root of Margaret are from Chatham and have been one of my favs for ten years now. Check 'em out, I'd love to hear what folks think of them. Guitary space indie pop.. or so. Lure, TMM, others.. both rooms rockin' should be a good night!

    nice... already planning to attend the Spherical party, lot of tres good folk involved with the spherical productions crowd (Hunter Eves is under their wing and also performing, lounge-side)... will make the effort to remember and check out square root bb, have heard the name lotsa times

  2. Canada got pwned in the negotiating. Baird comes off looking like a hack, and the rest of the developed world scoffs at us. Great stuff.

    From the article:

    NUSA DUA, Indonesia — After a failed attempt to block an agreement, Canada found itself isolated at the Bali conference Saturday and grudgingly accepted a new accord to set a target of 25 to 40 per cent for cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions by wealthy countries by the end of the next decade.

    Environment Minister John Baird spoke against the ambitious target, but found himself virtually alone. Only Russia supported him – so he withdrew his objection, sparking a lengthy burst of applause from other countries.

    Mr. Baird also failed in his attempt to gain commitments by China, India and other developing nations to reduce their fast-growing emissions.

    “We weren't pleased with the language that weakened and watered-down the agreement that was adopted here, but it's better than no agreement,†he told reporters later.

    Nice spin fuck-head.

    god do we ever need a new gov't.

    yep... brutal

  3. partial to the June 11, '94 from Red Rocks (3rd song set 1)

    whole first set is crazy on, top of the wave

    have only bumped into the FM broadcast but its still great sound quality (aside from the rock radio dj girl who tries to go for commercial during a spacey moment before someone abruptly turns her mic off)

  4. (Harper Bali P.T.A.)

    imagine someone else has already brought this up but guess the age of Canada leading by example on the environmental front is behind us

    our new stance seems to be telling other countries we'll clean up our act as much as they clean up their act... which makes it look like no one will clean up much of anything and just make feeble green-ish gestures and point accusing fingers at one another

    though I know the arguments for Harper's do nothing stance I still find it petty and demoralizing... yes, the third world has to be considerate of climate change while they trying to balance feeding their hundreds of millions of poor but I don't see why we have to base our performance on that of others... yes the U.S., China, and parts of Russia and India will continue to pollute more than their share... Canada has striven to be a world leader on the environmental front since the seventies... sad to see the country fall more in tow with the wealthy western nation status quo who are primarily concerned with the big bucks and power while turning a convenient blind eye towards what's good for the planet
