Some odd story about selling a good story on eBay… the merchandise was of minor worth compared to the story that went with it. That’s not the part that interests me, though…. Sorry, but there’s more: In June of 2001, Star was charged with domestic-violence assault in the fourth degree, and interfering with the reporting [...]

Read more →Slam City Jam is on this weekend, having started today with qualifying heats and a bunch of Future Corporate Rockers from the CFOX Seeds contest. Okay, I’m judging the bands that won an event without hearing them, but based on past experience, any band competition like a Battle of the Bands, American Idol, etc, where [...]
Read more →Purchased tickets to see Einst?rzende Neubauten, which isn’t exactly what I’d intended to do. My intention was to attend the show, but without the buying of tickets, but that didn’t work out very well. It’s been quite some time since I did entertainment writing, and maybe I don’t remember the pursuit of promoters and interviews [...]
Read more →Rented a stack of six different movies this past weekend; some dreck, some not so much. Bend It Like Beckham, Bruce Almighty, American Pie 3, Matchstick Men, Whale Rider, and Pieces of April. Not dreck, dreck, dreck lite, not dreck, unwatched, and SO not dreck. Matchstick Men gave me a new appreciation for Nicholas Cage [...]
Read more →Well, they have the CDs listed for sale at Disclive for all of the currently available Pixies shows. I’d be interested in the show in Vancouver that I didn’t attend. I have the CD for the 22nd, but the show the following night has all the songs I wanted to hear and weren’t played thursday. [...]
Read more →I read the Georgia Straight’s preview piece on the Pixies event on the way to the show; If you’re one of the many who missed out on Pixies tickets when they vanished within minutes of going on sale, you might want to think twice before draining your bank account to pay scalpers’ fees. It seems, [...]

Read more →Picked up two CDs at last night’s show, and a couple at A&B Sound the day before. With my broken audio on my laptop, I have to rip them to digital files and upload them to my minidisc player in order to play them. In the process of ripping them now… will review later. I [...]
Read more →Headed out for The Cobalt last night to see the UK Subs who were going to be finishing up their cross-Canada tour here. The shirts they were flogging were specifically printed for Vancouver, which I found at least passingly interesting; I don’t bother buying band shirts anymore. I arrived at the pub at 9:15, fully [...]
