Hello
The New Pornographers announced a spring tour today. Unfortunately it looks like it’s on an American tour:

I’m going to try and get tickets for the April 28 show in DC.
Incidentally, I really liked yesterday’s picture. (Looks too good, staged?)
Today, 1st item on q, Rick Mercer. Different generations, but Tom Power and him are both from Newfoundland, so it’s house-on-fire time!
silly edit: “…and he…”
@BfO, I hope they post that q segment on youtube
I found out this morning that Abdominal is touring around here later this year (May to be more exact) should I get a ticket?
garf, FIIK! 😉
There should be a “q-Tube.”
Good morning everyone! How are things? Good vid Garf.
Good blog post Garf. Interesting tidbits.
Hello all!
Blood and Glass is playing on my R3 stream right now.
Grant has written about the Smugglers reunion show
http://www.westender.com/news-issues/vancouver-shakedown/saying-yes-to-an-unimaginable-rock-n-roll-reunion-1.7551291
I saw that but haven’t read it yet. It should be a fun read. 🙂
Strombo’s 100 best songs of 2016, should be a good listen. http://www.cbcmusic.ca/posts/17890/george-stroumboulopoulos-strombo-hundo-2016
I need to find another way to listen to that. The sound is awful for me off the site.
Sounds better from Strombo’s site.

Searchlight submissions start today. I will be following to see how it goes this year.

Do you plan on creating searchlight playlists again this year?
That is the plan yes. 😀
👍
that took way more work than it was worth
Hehe. Looks good though.
Here is another great list. http://www.earshot-online.com/charts/2016/top200.cfm
These lists are great! My only issue with the Strombo one is that I can’t skip over songs… Because my life is so hard I have to listen to songs I don’t like as much as other ones I know are coming 🙂
It is trickier to get past the song and not go too far. Blood Incantation might not be my thing.
Kanye West is also not my thing.
Yeah, not mine either…Luckily I haven’t got that far, yet.
I listen to Earshot every Tuesday on http://ckxu.com/

I will have to check that out Russ. Thanks!
