TCNH Nov. 16: Monday Morning Music News

Posted by Craig Norris on Nov 16, 2009

Good Monday Morning, Friends! I trust this new week finds you well. I am well, thanks for asking. I assume you asked.

What did you get up to this weekend? Mine was filled with family, friends, parties and a parade. But this morning, like every Monday morning, I like to sit down at my computer and peruse the news...

:: CBC Radio 3 Bucky Awards final voting starts today!

:: Arcade Fire might be recording some songs

:: Hugh Dillon, award winning actor

:: Jerry Fuchs falls to his death

:: KISS concert sucked. Or was great. It all depends.

Did I miss any news? Did anything happen in your neck of the woods this weekend? Care to share? Please, do...

    You are correct, and I was derelict in my duties and didn't put that in my blog entry as a news item.

    That has been rectified!

    I'm waiting for the polls to open for the Bucky awards. Other than that, I saw some brief news clip last night that Brittney Spears fans walked out of her concert after three songs. I don't know if this also counts as news.

    saw some bands

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 by suckamc

    A fairly quiet weekend here in Charlottetown, but I did see some good bands. 

    Waif & The Spade led of the Saturday night at Hunters Ale House, and they were really enjoyable.  This was I believe their third show, and they have plans to record some material.

    The Meds were up next, and they show a lot of promise.  Apparently their demos were impressive enough to catch the ear of Mat Mays, and they have an EP coming out soon.

    After a bit of an break as Pat toured with In Flight Safety, local staples Pat Deighan and the Orb Weavers rocked the rest of the night.  With guest Dan Currie filling in on guitar they sounded great.  And Bassy.  But that might have been because I was standing beside two (2!) big subwoofers.  (don't worry, I had ear protection).

     

    Wow, that kind of turned into like a mini show review there... ha!

    I had a pretty good weekend.  Saw Pirate Radio on friday night, it was alright.  Saturday was a kegger, so that was obviously fun. 

    Picked up the new King Khan & Magic Mushroom  BBQ show record, and have listened to it about 20 times. Crazy antics in the states or not, those guys ARE rock and roll.

    Last night, after see-sawing on the idea about 100 times I decided against going to Stephen Fearing out of sheer laziness.  My parents went and said it was good, but an "older" crowd.  So maybe I made the right decision? I still don't know.

    Oh my, just a little advice to everyone out there:

    I have a CD player alarm clock, every morning at 6:51am it goes off. After a while I grow to hate the CDs I put in there, blaming the band for getting me up. I've ruined Feist, Matt Costa, Sam Roberts, Beirut, and just recently the Winter Gloves. When 'Factories' came on, which is the first song of the album, I actually cringed. So now I wake up to French Radio, ahhhh, so much better.

    Jerry Fuchs

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 by tb3

    I saw that story last week about Fuchs and it was pretty tragic. Though I am glad you found a link with more details about the incident. The one I read last week, obviously before the details had surfaced was very vague.

    Something like that, a coat getting caught up on the freight elevator, in what probably seemed to him at the time a reasonable jump, reminds how fragile life can be.

    Be safe people.

    my weekend was ridiculously busy. i biked all over town on saturday. or was that friday. yeah that was friday. a friend was in town and wanted dreadlocks, so 8 1/2 hours were spent doing that. i didn't actually do anything friday night, though. i was in bed by 11.

    for saturday, refer to martin's post as i was at the same show. although, i missed the first two bands because i am lame.

    that doesn't really sound all that busy..

    @raven88 i saw the sunparlour players in charlottetown a couple of weeks ago. it was a really good show! i bought preserves! (if a band is selling food type items, apparently i feel compelled to buy some)

    My weekend featured angst!

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 by Benoit from Ottawa

    ANGST, I tells ya!

    Well, not really. Though I did have to choose, Saturday, among The Sunparlour Players, You Say Party! We Say Die!, and The Most Serene Republic. A surfeit of riches, what.

    I chose the Republic.

    TMSR put on a really good show, I enjoyed it bunches. They really know how to put across their sound.

     

    Incidentally, and this is REALLY unimportant, TMSR has a t-shirt, black with HUGE WHITE PRINTNG, which reads:

    TMSR

    GADZOOKS!

    Love it. (Nope, didn't buy it.)

    oooooo TMSR shirt!  I like the sounds of that, I may have to purchase that next week when they're here.  Also really happy to hear you enjoyed it!  It's my most looked forward to show for Movember.

    Like mynameismoe's compulsion for buying foodstuffs from bands (a compulsion which I share), I want to buy shirts from every band.  Luckily, I often don't have enough money on hand, or else I'd be spending way too much at these shows!

    Multi project Canadian musician Alexander The HAD A BABY! Kai was welcomed into the lives of many in the Kensington Market community and on the very same weekend that his new song Too Late released with the band Broad Way Sleep.

    Also Paper Lions was in town on the way back from their cross Canada tour. Those P.E.I natives rocked the stage with the Junction and Young Galaxy to a packed house at the Horseshoe. Good show, awesome voices in Young Galaxy!

    Same here, Martin, not ALL that much money. But also, my needs are simple. A shirt lasts a long time.

    As well though, I have a pass for the Sheep (no cover, or really, cover covered by the house), so I go REALLY often. I don't even have enough free "ear time" to buy many ceedees. (Music is too freely available now. But that's for another day's discussion.)

    I was less impressed with Young Galaxy, recently. Good voices, definite "sound", clothes and stage presence all excellent, but their songs soon started sounding very similar one to the other. A little disappointed.

    Re-mention: how much Current Swell impressed a bunch of us at the Sheep. Way better and more interesting than expected. One song quite different from the preceding. Roots in old folk and old blues (they must have parents...).

    I see on their site that there's a possibly excellent show in Vancouver, mid-December, with Jon And Roy, Hey Ocean (acoustic trio), Dan Mangan, Hannah Georgas, and Sgt. Strumalong Hawaiian Trio. No, I won't drive 6000 miles for it, it's a shame.

    Seen Jijou around today?  He chatted with me on Facebook on Friday and seemed so happy - then his meds ran out and he cursed us all.  Something about sending us all to Hades.  I asked if that was in Ontario or Manitoba, but he'd logged off by then.

    A free trip to Canada?  I'm up for it.

    Weekend

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 by Absotively

    I went to see Jezibelle this weekend.  It was a fantastic show, though I did miss the first band and half the second one.

    However, for the second weekend in a row, my merch-buying plans were unhappily thwarted.  This week, I was low on cash, and the ATM at the venue wouldn't recognize my debit card.  Last week, I wanted to buy a Pack A.D. shirt, but I decided to wait until after the headliner played so I wouldn't have to carry it around, and when I got over to the merch table they had packed up and left.

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 by tb3

    First Rule of Touring: Unless you have a show in two hours in a town three hours away you never pack up and leave with your merch until the headliner is loading out. Especially as an opener. 

    I hate when bands do that.

    Now, having said that I always make sure to by my merch upon getting into the club, and then getting my hand stamped so I can run the stuff out to my car. I am usually buying vinyl so I'd much rather it didn't get beer soaked and bumped into all night in the club.

    They and, hard to believe, three other bands are featured without cover* at Zaphods. Parlour Steps sounds interesting.

    from their site: "“Thieves of Memory” has been chosen from over 15,000 entrants as a winner in the world renowned International Songwriting Competition, placing Parlour Steps, and in particular chief songwriter Caleb Stull, in the international spotlight."

    I always walk to the bar (lucky to live close enough), so I always wait until the end of the show to buy stuff.  I've only rarely missed the chance to buy stuff by them packing up early, and even then, I'm pretty sure a member of Winter Gloves, and at a separate show, Dan Werb, ran out to the tour vehicle to grab an LP for me to buy.  :D

    I know, I know, but to be honest, they looked a little tired.  And I looked up their tour archive after the show; it was their 147th show this year, and only ten of those have been in Vancouver, Victoria, or Nanaimo.  And they didn't play any shows in January, so that's 137 on-tour shows in about nine months.  So out of fear that they might be in danger of burning out, in this particular instance I would rather see them get home and recover, even if it means missing out on a shirt.

    I've seen the Parlour Steps a couple weeks ago after giving them a random listen, they're pretty great in my meager opinion. They sound a lot younger than they look, that's for sure. I really like their song "As the World Turned Out".

    I would be the last to claim The Pack AD is anything but a hard working band. But the gigging, they choose to do. I only am half serious about not liking a band for packing up early.

    It's just not a good thing to do in band-etiqute to clear out before the headliner does. Kind of the unspoken rule that you give each other that same respect.

    All tiredness aside they missed out on a chance to have you walking around as the occasional billboard for them, that you paid your $20 to do so.

     

    Now would you and Martin stop wasting money on stupid Merch so that you could just buy cars! GM needs you to. You're wrecking the economy. Not to mention making the air fresher. Please rethink!

    I know.  I am assuming it's an exception, and that they wouldn't usually do that, because they are awesome and I want to believe the best of them.  And maybe they didn't realize what they were getting into this year?

    Like I said, I want to believe the best of them.

    And with regards to cars: if I bought a car, I would have to drive.  Ugh.  Plus I kind of like the air fresh.

    Headstones

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 by tb3

    Obviously, count me in the latter.

    Their music was washed over bland rock punk. Far too much money spent in the studio, for a sound and feel that could have been better driven home with a Tascam 4 track, a basement, and a bottle of Jack.

    Hardcore Logo, was the indicative of what was wrong about the Headstones IMHO. You can't redo Highway 61 with a bigger budget, just like you can't make edgy punk in a studio that invoices in no less than 5 digits.

    The best thing to come from them was Hugh's acting career (which he is a great actor).

    The Weekend

    Posted on Nov 16, 2009 by MusicSoop

    Friday night it's a good thing Peplerspray wasn't hanging out with me 'cause I went to a Winter Gloves/Thunderheist show.  It was great.  And I think Factories was song #2 or 3.  It was super early in the set.

     

    Saturday night finally watched "Blood Simple" which was pretty cool.  Could see a lot of "No Country For Old Men" in it and a tom of Hitchcock, obviously.

     

    And last night I was busy writing a new tune and didn't make it out to see Final Fantasy.  But the good news is Corb Lund is playing Thursday.  I'm trying to cut back to one show per week and Corb is that show.  But I might make an exception for Gentleman Reg and Hidden Cameras on Wednesday night.  We'll see.

    My weekend was completely lame, but there was some pretty awesome news last week...if you know the artist Adaline, she made her first music video and released it last Wednesday, and it is aaaaaaaamazing. You can see that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd9-u4uyLWc. She's currently in the Peak Performance Project, so if you like the video, head on over to peakperformanceproject.com and vote. It's a pretty huge ($150,000 huge) deal!

    I agree fully. But hijinks here ends up with angry room mates.

    One of my room mates (lets just say she's a bit of a redneck) decided after a 24 of Lucky Lager that it would be funny to put lawn trimmings dirt and leaves on another room mate (a Francophone from Ottawa)'s car. Boy, was the room mate angry. Now his car is in the bodyshop getting detailed

    Thanks for reminding me to look up how my team finished up their season.  I think.

    Only one win this year, and that against York, but that's not so bad.  I'll take it over that five-year losing streak they had any day.  Maybe next year they'll get back up to last year's level of sucess (two wins in the same season).

    Even worse is we're talking CIAU football…

    We used to get a pretty big kick when I was at school that my university (Windsor) always booked their homecoming weekend around the game on the schedule that featured a team with as bad a record — either York or (I think) U of T at that time.

    Though I did watch the Yates Cup this weekend that was THE game of the season. Queens won a great game, but I tell you it would have been pretty great to see a hopping on one leg Faulds connect a last play pass for the win for the Mustangs.

    I think one has to judge how the victim will react for it to be funny. Generally, the victim will be a little pissed but I like ones where after the initial shock or whatever they find it funny when they look back on it. Ones that are a sore point forever are just mean or were done on someone who can not take a joke.

    I didn't realize that there was much, if any college football in Canada.  Pretty cool.

    And to those who didn't understand my tease to MusicSoop, who has ties to the college football juggernaut that is called the University of Southern California, USC lost their second game in a row - an event in itself - but allowed the most points to be scored against them in their history, with Stanford beating them 55-21 in Los Angeles.  Historic news in US college football.

    Oh, and my own alma mater, Oregon State beat Washington 48-21.  Go Beavs!

    I apologize for the diversion away from Canadian independent music - but we're all friends here, right?

    Ah, that makes sense.  University football's not that big in Canada; I never really paid attention to it until I went to university, and I haven't paid that much attention to it since I left.

    Which is kind of unfortunate, because if I'd got into it a little sooner, I might have gone to the only game that they won while I lived in Toronto.  As it is, I've never seen my team win a game.

    Actually, the main reason I went to football games was the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.
