This Saturday's show will no doubt be an awesome one. I'd recommend checking it out if you can... I had the pleasure of watching the boys rock New York City on Canada Day for a live-to-air Sirius Radio broadcast. They put on an excellent show for the crowd... and represented Canada very well in the ole US of A. Here are a few pics from the night!

Mike & Sharon - thanks for sharing your honeymoon memories with us! The blog was excellent and it looks like you guys had an amazing time. Congrats on your marriage & all the best to you both, Mary

Congratulations to you both! It looks like it was a wonderful day... and how great you were able to marry on your property! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness ahead, Mary

Happy Birthday - I hope you had a great one! Mary

Awesome, Prost! Great story... my friends in Matt Mays & El Torpedo got to sit in @ a Ramble. My buddy Tim the drummer said that looking over and playing drums with Levon sitting & playing next to him was an unreal experience. Levon really dug those boys. Good times! I really want to make it to one of those someday soon. Hopefully this summer!

Thanks! Awesome stuff!

Those are all great pics -- it was sooooo dark in there. I liked the ambiance though... I liked the stage set-up and backlighting. I thought the Toronto show was faaaantastic! Man oh man does he have pipes. And his backing band was incredible.

Thanks for this -- I've been listening to it all AM. Also -- mr.photogeek, where is that Wilco picture in your avatar from?

Happy Birthday!!!

from Arts & Crafts Visit Kevin Drew's page at www.arts-crafts.ca/kevindrew to download "Tbtf," a new song from the album. On September 18, Arts & Crafts will release the first in a series of "Broken Social Scene Presents" albums. Spirit If... by Kevin Drew, unfolds like an emotional comic book. Drew's songwriting addresses all his favourite topics: fucking, fighting, fearing and hope. BSS co-founder Brendan Canning will also release a solo album, due in early 2008. Drew and Canning decided to make records as solo projects, drawing in the social scene community to play key supporting roles, in a return to the creative process that was the initial spark for BSS.

Congrats to you both!

Happy Birthday!!! Hope to see you soon. Mary

This is awesome... thanks for sending through. Do you have the setlist by any chance? I can't find it online.

Happy birthday mister! Hope to see you and party soon! Mary

I just realized I'm gonna be in Montreal this weekend too!! I won't be at Ween but hope to bump into you crazy kids on the street or at a late-night poutine shop. Peace.

Happy birthday! Hope you have a great weekend celebration.

VIETNAM rock! check them out if you can. they are awesome guys -- i've hung out with them and while they weren't as "out there" as they sound like they were in that show review ... they definitely knew how to enjoy themselves. amazing performers when i saw 'em. maybe that review was an "off" (or really "ON" ...something) night for them. here's an awesome clip of them playing live:

Happy Birthday Becky!!!

Wow! I can't believe the google street view feature... it's almost kinda freaky that you can do that... wonder how long til that's rolled out across N.A. I checked out the house in the fall... some pics: We didn't go in but it was cool to meet people who were walking down the street looking for it too (quite easy to spot those folks)

my favourite dessert! hard to find in this city... but Loblaws (President's choice) makes a pretty good one (in my opinion) and you can keep it in the freezer to make it last a while. call the Loblaws near you first to find if they have it in stock... my mom had a tough time finding it for my birthday this year. packaging looks like this...
