thought for food
Tyrone Warner is blogging A Campaign Soundtrack For Everyone for CTV. Politics and music... it's like someone at CTV tapped directly into my inner-geek. An excerpt:
The New Democratic Party: "Crabbuckit" - K-Os
The NDP are going to be facing big obstacles in this year's campaign despite having a hand in the "NDP" budget that passed in the House of Commons earlier this year. Their biggest challenge this campaign will be convincing voters not to vote strategically; that is, the belief that voting for the NDP will allow the Conservatives to gain a majority government. So Kevin Brereton's song about infighting and reaching for the top is included to rally the NDP faithful for this long winter campaign.
The new Lemon-Red Mix is up. This month, Nick Catchdubs contributes 45 minutes of aural entertainment. For more, check out Oh, Snap (scroll down a bit), his grade-A, blow my mind, mix cd.
I'm doing music picks for The Tyee now. They change weekly, but I'll be contributing on a less frequent basis. This week: Julie Doiron, Belle and Sebastian, Field Music, Math and Physics Club, and Great Lake Swimmers... complete with mp3s. There are some links to some other publications I write for in the side bar now. If you happen to be from a publication and want to let me write something for you, drop me a line, because I like to do such things.
The music industry wants to open a new front in their legal war, and start suing lyric and tab/chord sites. (via ILM, complete with commentary)
The Onion might be right on the ball soon.
Glenn Kotche (Wilco's drummer) opens the Jeff Tweedy show. Tix go on sale on December 17th for $28+charges.
now playing: Nick Catchdubs - Look What You Made Me Do (Jay-Z vs. Muse)
