Also, tonight, the Waldorf hosts Collectors & Selectors, a group record sale/swap that also features a live performance by Koban (have I posted about their 7" yet? Don't wait around for me to get around to it and go grab one now--tonight, even).
Tomorrow night, also at the Electric Owl, is the inaugural editions of Heart of Gold Fridays. The DJ night opens early (10pm) and closes early (1am) this week, though the venue's hoping they'll be granted a later closing time soon. Edit: and this week they'll feature live guest Love & Electrik.
And, last, but certainly not least, as you mentally gear up for Music Waste, don't forget to check the iTunes store tomorrow, so you can download the official Music Waste iPhone app to keep the schedule (sortable by band, venue, or day) and line up handy while you're rushing around between shows.

The Duffy & the Doubters show scheduled for this Saturday is now at Anti-Social and they're looking for venues for the rest.
Now, good news: the Waldorf celebrates its reopening (though they'll be officially be open for business the night before) with a massive free Halloween party on October 30th. Rodney Graham, Animal Bodies, and Joyce Collingwood perform live, but there's a lot of other stuff going on. Check out the full itinerary on Facebook.
And, as a reminder to myself, because I always find a way to miss it, on November 13th, SK Robot put on their annual, "Guided by Robots" show at the ANZA, featuring a set of GbV covers by the band and the GbV karaoke following. As always, all proceed go towards the Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter.

Also, not strictly music, but I am willing to highlight anything (Leah) Abramson (Singers) related. Leah (sans Singers) will be part of Brief Encounters 15, which takes twelve artists from various disciplines and pairs them off to collaborate on a performance a mere two weeks before their first show.
And, here's something you'll want to get on if you plan on attending: You Say Party!, MT-40, and Petroleum By-Product play a show sponsored by Scion at the Chapel. Since Toyota is footing the bill, you can get in for free by RSVP'ing here. Tyler Fedchuk spins between sets.
