streethawk tempts the huntress
Sorry, I've been a bad blogger lately. I haven't, however, been slacking off (at least not slacking off from the internet). Rather, I have - along with others - been working on a secret, which I will now reveal to you:
Streethawk
For those of you too lazy to click, it's a real, honest to goodness music website. The focus is on Vancouver when it comes to shows and goings on, but record reviews and features will hopefully resonate with people regardless of geography. And, of course, there's show listings and a blog. We're still working out some bugs, but do check it out, won't you? Updates on Mondays for most content, but the blog will roll constantly, record reviews will eventually be Monday/Thursday, and show reviews will go up as soon as they're written. Oh, and we could use some more writers.
I'm not sure what's going to happen with this place, but as the blog is currently being recoded to be more functional over there, I will also be here for the meantime... if it ends up that the Streethawk blog is just the same content as here plus the contributions from other writers, there'll be a shift in focus though.
But that is a future discussion. For now, check out the site.
Show stuff:
Memphis is at the
The Hip are doing a 4-night stand at the Commodore to celebrate the release of their newie, World Container. Kingston's favourite sons rock the Ballroom on November 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th. Tickets will put you back a whopping $60+charges (too rich for my very poor blood), and you can get them tomorrow starting at 10am if you register at TheHip.com. Regular public on-sale is Sept. 29th at 10am.
In a move that might get From Blown Speakers it's very first cease and desist order, why don't you check out the first track from World Container, "Yer Not The Ocean." Lately I've heard the words "return to form" used quite a bit to describe new records by older bands that emulate old sounds, but ultimately sound like the artist in question is just calling it in (see: the new, boring Pearl Jam record). I haven't heard the entire thing yet, but if this track is any indication, this is a real return to form. We're talking Fully Completely type quality here.

There are a ridiculous amount of shows this week, and I just got a stack of promo cds in the mail, so expect some more posting in the next few days.
Aside: If you downloaded it, you already know that ITunes 7.0 is hugely shitty... but mine just started playing two songs at once. That's a new one.

You can backtrack to iTunes 6 if you hate 7 that much, Quinn, the support forums on Apple.com have the info.
