Weeeeeellllllllllll Heeeeeeeellllllllllllooooooooooooooooooo Ladies and Gentlemen
Good morning!
Would you like me to make the “and finally” video a full set every week and if yes who would you like to see there
Good morning!
Good morning!
Hi there! I have some articles to read. Thanks Garf.
Re: videos. I like just one there but that is because I can’t sit here and watch videos while I am supposed to be working.
@DBS, The thought was that you could play the video in the background and listen as you work
Yes that would work. Videos are so tempting though. hehe.
Who would I like to see there? Canadian Indie Artists. 😉
New videos would be my preference or collabs or live shows, all my favourite artists….
I’m thinking of The Weakerthans for next week
That would be good.
I like the videos at the end of the posts, and am lucky that YouTube isn’t blocked at work, so I can put them on and listen. Though Darbar is right, there is much temptation to watch!
I guess it gives you a reason to eat lunch at your desk so you can watch, at least some of, the video.
Nice intro @Garfielduk! I can hear Grant ringing in my ears:)
Good morning all.
I popped in yesterday but did not see a topic for the day. I heard this happened last week too. Do we have a bug?
@Morgana
The hamster that runs our server went on strike yesterday so we had to up his food pellets and offer benefits in the form of a cookie every other weekend.
I’m just glad that the raccoon is on a long term fixed contract.
As for previous missing posts, they were usually down to me not adding an image meaning they don’t appear on the front page.
@morgana – Also we were back up and running mid dayish.
Those food pellets are pricey to ship from Canada so please accept my gratitude for keeping the wheels turning here!
Has anyone heard of Rodney Graham?
Baltic’s next big exhibition is to be dedicated to a Canadian ‘shape-shifter’
http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/arts-culture-news/baltics-next-big-exhibition-dedicated-12662780
I have not heard of him.
I am not familiar with Rodney Graham.
I don’t know if I should go to see his exhibition later this month
He seems like an interesting guy and the exhibit looks interesting as well.
when did Gandalf join Sloan?
Searchlight voting is back on and this local lovely young lady made it through round 1. Yay Ava Wild!
http://www.cbcmusic.ca/searchlight/83
Miss Quincy didn’t make it through? Preposterous!
Were there other big surprises for Searchlight? The CBC site is blocked for me, so I can’t access it 🙁
the next New Pornographers album will be interesting. First since Kurt Dahle left. See what the drumming is like relative to past albums
I am not sure yet about Searchlight. I will be posting more about it on Friday though.
That should be interesting indeed krib.
@Krib, also apparently there is no Bejar on the album. I’m wondering if he’s going to tour with them this time around.
I’m out everyone! Talk to you tomorrow!
