Okay, I was starting to get really annoyed by how much that Jet song, “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” gets radio play. I used to praise Edge 102’s Thursday 30, because it meant that they could play the song only once in a three-hour period. However, since coming up with my own variation involving the woman I love, I can’t get enough of it (”I said you look so pretty and I want to make you my Simmie”).
The charity concert organized by The One Whose Name Must Not Be Written (”TOWNMNBW”) is still going ahead. January 31st at Long Weekend Bar in Newmarket (yay! alcohol!) will be the concert date. Confirmed bands are The Hellz Kitchen Show (which I’ve mentioned before), Pangea, Feebo and littleSUNDAY. All four have (or will soon have) interviews in NextDoorNoise.ca. TOWNMNBW even gets mentioned on The Hellz Kitchen Show’s web site news section.
While there’s no mention of it on the NDN web site, they are indeed involved. The web designer *ahem* hasn’t updated the site to make it fully functionaly yet. I… er… he is still dabbling in PHP in order to make a GTA Indie band BBS. Enough acronyms for you? WTF!
Final note on Indie bands, if anyone’s at a Salads concert, can you pick up a CD for me? I’ll pay you back. I looked in the HMV for their release, “Fold A To B”, and it cost $18.99. Way too much, considering that it’s an independent release - no label or nothin’. When I walked over to Sunshine Records, they had it in stock for a whopping $23.99!!! That’s more than ten bucks over what it costs to buy through their web site. This is a really good band, and I’ve regretted not picking up a copy of their album at the most recent concert I went to. It would be cheaper to buy a ticket to get into a show, then pick up a CD for twelve bucks at their table…
…and that’s just sad.
One final link. If my piano lessons growing up were this much fun, I probably would have practiced more than twice a week.
