“Both Toronto and Montreal have increasingly grown in the Discogs community of buyers and sellers,” Discogs spokesperson Jeffrey Smith tells NOW. “[We] want to be involved with the community in real-life as much as possible. Crate Diggers gives us that opportunity to physically talk with sellers, new users, contributors to the database, and DJs/musicians in the city’s scene.”
Winter, Be Gone – Festivals Now Come!
April screws with my head. There’s this expectation that one morning I’d wake up and the sun would bear down on me and that slow walk to Starbucks will put a long grin on my face. I seriously need to warm-up. It’s not as if I’ve given up. We’ve had a few close calls.
Annual record show builds on Nanaimo’s history with vinyl
A week removed from Record Store Day, more than 20 of the finest vinyl dealers from across Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast and the Lower Mainland converge on the Legion in Harewood to celebrate and share the medium they love.
The arts are not distant from the public good – they are the public good
At first glance, a transplanted Canadian jazz saxophonist and educator in rural Iowa might seem like an unusual candidate to be offering advice on the cultural value of jazz and the importance of music and arts in the classroom. After all, Canada and Iowa are both pretty distant from the perceived creative centres of “America’s Classical Music”.

hello
Good morning!
Hello hello! It’s not really Canadian Indie music news, but Come From Away, a musical about travellers stranded in Gander after 9/11 was nominated for 7 Tony awards this morning.

Nice.
Good day to you all!
hello you
good morning peeps!
There was a cop with a guy on the sidewalk outside work this morning. Not sure what it was about but a couple more cop cars joined him. I guess they caught their man. That was my excitement for the morning.
the closest I got to excitement this morning was the TV I watched because I couldn’t sleep last night
How exciting Garf! Not being able to sleep sucks. I have only had that problem on a rare occasion. Usually I have trouble not falling asleep standing.
according to my smart watch I had a total of 3hrs 26minutes sleep last night so I am thinking of making th dog very happy and going to bed soon
That might be a good plan. Now I want to go have a nap.
Going to bed early after a mostly sleepless night definitely sounds like a good idea!
Fast Romantics had their van and gear stolen yesterday. They were doing an interview on The Peak and were talking about it. A lady saw the van as she was listening and called in. The van was found in an hour with most of the gear. They did lose a few guitars but it could have been much worse.
Exclaim has an article about it.

Wow! I’m glad it wasn’t worse for them.
Garf – I hope you’re able to get some sleep!
I’m headed out, but I’ll talk to you all tomorrow
Bye Janet. 🙂
