local garbage
LOCAL BAND (SIGNED)
1. The New Pornographers (tie)
Nickelback (tie)
2. The Be Good Tanyas
3. 54-40
LOCAL BAND (UNSIGNED)
1. Art of Dying
2. Brickhouse
3. Japanese Pop Songs
I know they still move records, but I don't think I've ever met anyone who will actually admit to liking Nickelback. Where are these people hiding? Also, who are Japanese Pop Songs? And they're actually pretty good... but the house band at the Yale? Honestly?
On the other hand, apparently Milestones is the best place to get brunch, which explains a lot about the response pool.
I know I posted something like this last year, but with so many great shows selling out and so many great bands selling out bigger and bigger venues now, I mistakenly thought that more people suddenly developed some taste.
Shonen Knife are at Richard's on December 13th with the Juliet Dagger and Verona Grove.
GWAR is at the Commodore on November 16th. Bring rain gear (or stay out of the first few rows) if you don't like getting faux bodily fluids on you.

As you're probably already aware, the Straight's best of Vancouver issue is out today, and just like last year the Best of Media, Arts, and Culture is sort of baffling. Check it:

this is the same publication whose readers' poll named "hon's" as the best chinese food in town. 'nuff said. these guys deserve nickeldouche while drinking their bud light
54-50?? Are you sure you didn't pick up the 1997 issue by accident?
Also, I though they were from the east coast.
