Concert Season, Tdot
Last Saturday I made my way out to Kool Haus for my first Toronto concert. I originally bought the tickets while trolling Pollstar because of Bombay Bicycle Club — whom I had put on my PDP7 mix, Paul’s Lonely Hearts Club. (I put on ‘How Are You‘; Lindsay had a different song on her PDP7 mix [...]
A pale shadow of concert season’s former greatness
I attended The National‘s Malkin Bowl show on Thursday and it was a pretty good billing. I honestly can’t remember if I’d ever seen the Walkmen before — I think I saw them open or maybe in a festival but maybe I’m just remember wrong?! I’d have to go through my boxes of ticket stubs [...]
I don’t remember my youth as being ‘folky’.
Went to Jericho beach on Friday night with some friends and ended up catching some of the Vancouver Folk Festival. We weren’t in time to see Iron & Wine but we did manage to hear the final act of the night, Arrested Development. It was a little strange that more than half our group didn’t [...]
A hodgepodge post.

matt pond PA Concert Review

Naturally alarmed, I quickly checked my ticket confirmation (I had ordered the tickets online through Ticketmaster) and they said Friday March 3. [...]
Let Concert Season Commence.
So I just went on a concert ticket buying spree.I picked up some We Are Scientists, Josh Rouse and some Ladytron tickets to go along with the matt pond PA and Mike Relm tickets I’ve already got. I think this means I don’t have money for Metric but I’ll try and get the work hookup [...]
Top 10 CD List of 2005
10. Ladytron – Witching Hour I really like bands that have that almost-cheesy electronic sound but are actually quite good. Basement Jaxx are a band like that and so is Ladytron. Their third album, Witching Hour is the natural progression from 604 and Light & Magic. Apparently, as part of the effort to make the [...]
