Coming Up:
Ryder Havdale (founder of White Whale Records)
Marc Morrisette of
Octoberman
Today we celebrate the fifth birthday of
White Whale Records with founder Ryder Havdale and roster mainstay Marc Morrisette (Octoberman). Previously a
Vancouver label, White Whale is now headquartered in
Toronto, but everyone gets to enjoy the festivities as the label kicks off an east-to-west
tour starting tomorrow. Featured one the bill will be White Whale artists Poorfolk, Mohawk Lodge and new signee, Edmonton's rootsy punk rocker
Eamon McGrath.
Also on the show today: I know I'm late to the party, but just last weekend I saw
Pineapple Express (I also saw
Silence of the Lambs for the first time! So I guess the Pineapple movie is pretty much on time). Not that I want to relate too much to such a movie, but there's this one scene where James Franco's character Saul is upset that Seth Rogan's character Dale is just smoking and leaving:
"Stay around for a while and we can watch funny things on the internet."Until that moment I hadn't really thought of this as a "thing to do". But why not? Sure, this internet thing has the potential to keep me up to the minute on major news events, but it also has the more-important function of making me laugh, whether through unintentional pratfalls and other calamities found at YouTube, or through expert sketch comedy. Today on
Missing Links with
CBC Radio 3 blog editor John Paolozzi, we offer up some more places to get your giggles.
It's
all coming up on
Appetite for Distraction, 6-9pm Pacific. Music, meanderings and
merriment!
