Arkells – Rally Cry
Arkells might just be the biggest rock band in Canada at the moment. Thanks to last year’s single, “Knocking At the Door,” they’ve had a hit in circulation for a good 18 months, largely in part to its popularity with the sporting crowd. And after becoming a stadium band this past summer by selling out the Hamilton Tiger Cats’ home field, Arkells are ready to show they’ve earned such a distinction with their fifth album.(Exclaim!)
Belle Plaine – Malice, Mercy, Grief
On her third full-length release, Belle Plaine finds amplitude by accessing a sense of community. Having grown up in a Saskatchewan town of only 45 people, the artist has been stretching toward a new abundance on each record. With Malice, Mercy, Grief & Wrath, the themes are on the tin, and the grandiosity comes with the inclusion of many instruments, voices and characters.(Exclaim!)
Kyp Harness – Kyp Harness
As someone who Ron Sexsmith has called “my favourite songwriter,” it’s a little astounding that more people aren’t familiar with Kyp Harness’ work. But that could change with the Toronto native’s 14th album — simply self-titled — that’s out on Oct. 19 through kypharness.net. We’re proud to offer an exclusive preview with the track “Talking To Myself,” that features Harness’ trademark bittersweet observations of modern life.(No Depression)
Hello
Sorry about yesterdays post issues (all my fault)
We’ll hold it against you a long time…
And good morning-afternoon!
Out for a cycle now. (A bipedal cycle.) Temp is still hanging around minus 2. People in the Prairies will snort heh that ain’t nuthin’, but for here, it’s the first warning of oncoming stuff. Oh, outside of the wet snow we got around 5 pm yesterday…
@BfO, since everyone else is holding it against me, does that mean I don’t need to?
Yes, precisely. Leave the guilt-tripping to us.
We got it handled Garf.
Yay for Belle Plaine!
Good day everyone!
Benoit, nice in the ride… -2C isn’t too bad. But yes, snnnooowww to come. It’s -2C here in Bend now and sunny, loving it actually.
That video of Belle Plaine’s was shot at Gateway Festival in Bengough, SK by the way. She had a great set out there and this album is going to be a good one. I am so happy for her.
Hi Justin!
Hello friends.
Last night I was working on my Vancouver plans. I hope to meet up with @snarf (Natalie) and Liz (Neil’s widow). Not sure of the music we will get to but it is a work in progress. Maybe this guy because I love the venue and need quite shows

Interesting to hear the back story from the Arkells. I had no idea they had reached stadium status.
I am in and out today as I get ready to leave. Tucking the garden in as we are getting hard frosts at night but the clear skies and fall colours are so lovely. I’ll take it over low cloud cover and warmer temp any day.
Is anyone else experiencing super slow Spotify? This is day three for me … likely just my old computer.
Hi morgana. Spotify seems to be working okay for me today. I have had a couple of times where a track will quit playing for no reason.
Yay for meet ups and music.
I introduced the housemate to pierogies, he might be addicted now
or maybe this in vancouver

appropriately mellow and interesting lyrics.
anyone seen them before?
@garfielduk
is that good or bad?
now you have to share the pierogies but now you have someone else to buy them too …
I’m out for the day.
see you all tomorrow …
I know nothing about either of them morgana. Enjoy whatever you decide on. 🙂
@morgana, He’s a vegetarian so I just buy mine with some meat in 🙂
By meat I hope you mean bacon. Mmm perogies.
yeah, bacon *shifty eyes*
What other meat would they put in one?
not human, definitely not human
(I would imagine it’s bacon but my Polish is a little rusty)
haha
There is a person from Regina asking to join the R3 facebook group
Are you unsure of who they are?
yeah, it looks like a real account and they may have been a lurker (or may have never used the blog) but they are not FB friends with anyone currently in the group
Ahh I see.
I just approved them, if they do anything wrong they can be kicked out
She looks vaguely familiar but I don’t know her.
Lanikai is playing in Regina tonight. I hope to get there.
