This past weekend was filled with good friends and good rock. Saw C'mon and Turbonegro and drank fairly late for both. Tomorrow I'm off to Halifax for a wedding, a reunion of sorts and probably a few fun nights out.
I'll leave you with some goodies.
Here's a track from the upcoming Ween (who I'll be seeing next month) album; La Cucaracha. Woman And Man
And here's 4 different takes on Teenage Fanclub's "Everything Flows"
Teenage Fanclub - Everything Flows (acoustic version from "Teenage Fanclub Have Lost It")
The Afghan Whigs - Everything Flows (live, a little more economic than the original)
J. Mascis - Everything Flows/Range Life/In A Rut (Peel sessions, noisy & sloppy goodness)
Velvet Crush - Everything Flows (a "B" grade cover at best)
Ex-Drummer
This is a movie I saw at the film festival.... It's a Belgian punk rock movie full of junkies, assholes and handicapped. It'll be hitting North American shores next spring on DVD and I recommend checking it out, fantastic. It's harsh but at times pretty deep emotionally, though without a happy ending in the least. And the sound track is amazing and it's right HERE to download.

TIFF
Been a busy week...
Saw the Burning Brides on Thursday night. They were awesome, but it went late so I got stuck with walking home and catching a bit of a cold.
Went to see Dai-Nipponjin on Friday and wrote a review that showed up HERE
Saturday was The Devil's Chair (pretty lacklustre) and À l'intérieur (intense and amazing, crazy French horror) meaning another late night.
I'll get some fun music up again soon enough.

Daniel Lanois
So, pretty much any self respecting music fan should at least know who Daniel Lanois is...
There's a new documentary out about him "Here Is What Is" that debuted at TIFF and also he played two very intimate shows at The Great Hall here in Toronto to celebrate the occasion. I was lucky enough to get a ticket for one of these shows and found a lovely spot right by the stage for it. The venue is an old church with a balcony all around, a small, fairly low stage and holds about 400 people.
The show started with Lanois stepping to the mic and talking about his new movie, the idea behind it and some of what it shows. He then introduced Garth Hudson, who made his way out to the floor and sat down at an old baby grand, everyone was told to be quiet as we listened to him start on a journey through his years of music. About 5 minutes of gorgeous playing before Lanois took to the guitar and Brian Blades came out to join him on the kit and the piano was moved off the floor. The majority of the show was just Lanois & Blades, sounding amazing.
Go see the movie and the show if it comes through your town...

quiet violence
I've been lazy with the blog I know. Lots going on in my life which won't be discussed here... but here's a great ep from Arab Strap. I love their songs stripped down and I am so glad I got to see these guys before they split up. And between Malcolm Middleton and L. Pierre they're still putting out lots of great stuff.
