Warner Music Canada’s Half-Century History Now Online
The half-century of Warner Music Canada is now available for viewing online. The massive project falls into three distinct categories. First, is a history of the Canadian artists at WMC, both domestic and internationally signed between 1967 and 2017, that includes 80 essays and comprises 35,000 words penned by former company Sr. VP Kim Cooke. There is also a collection of video interviews with staffers past and present, conducted by current VP Steve Waxman in consort with Cooke, and a third component that includes archival footage and photographs, starting with the company’s founding in 1967 and running through to today’s roster.(FYI Music News)

Hello
Good morning!
I see it’s busy here today
Hey there, hi there, ho there!
Hello hello! Happy Tuesday!
At the end of the second half-hour (about 7 minutes away), today’s *q* features a new (?) song by Chad VanGaalen. Sounds like him. Not all that weird, this one.

He’s here on Friday.
On the blog!?
I’ll ask, but probably not.
CVG in Ottawa December 9. I bought a ticket.
Un Blonde is opening. That’s a duo from Montreal, two guys, they impressed me a lot at this summer’s Arboretum Festival. Soulful singing, great rhythm etc. Tuneful, too.
Russ, 8:11, Hah!
Here, have fun! NSFW words, sometimes.

“Away and shite wi that pish ye gadgie bam”
Time to go out. Still coldish, maybe -6, up from -10 overnight, and going to +11 or so. A bit weird, that. TTFN
Hi all!
Thanks for letting me know what is going on in my own city Garf.
You are welcome DBS
Tanya Tagaq just performed with the RSO on Saturday. I was so wanting to be at it but the timing just didn’t work for me. Being involved with the theatre has been fantastic but it is cutting into my live music attendance.
it is just gone 6pm and I am ready for bed
I will finally be able to see We Are The City’s film Violent! You can get it on iTunes or get physical copies here:

That seems a bit early Garf. Ha!
that’s usually how I feel at 6pm too, Garf 🙂
I had another appointment that I had to attend today meaning I had to get up early but of course I didn’t go to sleep until after midnight
(because I am an idiot)
Anyone have any questions you want to ask Low Joy Ceiling? I’m interviewing the band for the blog
I tend to have a problem getting to bed early.
@janet – Fantastic! I don’t have anything at the moment but I will try to think of something.
Meant to be helpful: It seems to be *The* Low Joy Ceiling. Just looking at their stuff.
Thanks Benoit! I’d rather be corrected here than when I contact the band 🙂
That was the thought…
@Janet, have you emailed them?
Garf – yup! Since the band is spread out, and I’m down here we’re going to do an email interview. I’m putting together my questions and will send them in the next couple of days.
@Janet, oh, I was wondering how you were going to do the interview.
Eeeeexcellent…
Garf – Not going to lie, I was a little relieved when Mike suggested the email interview.
I’m not going to lie, I was terrified at the idea of interviewing them as well, so I found someone else to do it 😀
Email interview would have been my preferred as well. Go Janet!
Always happy to help out 🙂
Thank you Janet, I would offer to pay you but I don’t want to start a trend (I would owe DBS too much)
oh yeah, and thank you Russ for helping set it up by sending them to our address
As a very infrequent contributor, I hope there are many more in front of me who should be paid
There would be more money if it wasn’t for that bloody raccoon’s cookie bill
I forgot about this

I’m headed off for a bit, but will check back later this evening to see if anyone is still kicking around!
Did Dolly send everyone to sleep?
She did tell us go to bed.
And who would argue with Dolly
If anyone has newspapers for today that are covering the royal engagement would you be willing to send them to me for a friends daughter to add to her collection of royal newspaper clippings (I would send candy in return)
