Stay Out of the Mall X – Ebar – Thursday December 15, 2011

Well, after some serious scheduling issues that almost derailed the whole thing, I’m happy to report that the 10th anniversary edition of Stay Out of the Mall – A Festive Music Festival is happening this year at the Ebar in Guelph on Thursday December 15th, 2011.

For the 10th year in a row, all proceeds will benefit the Canadian Cancer Society towards leukemia research in memory of my friend Sharon Marshall and we’re again collecting food donations for the Guelph Food Bank. Given how quickly it’s approaching, I ask that you please spread the word about this year’s amazing show as soon as possible.

Here are the details:

Leonard Cohen almost brought me to tears when I saw him live a few years ago. Luckily I don’t have a heart. His new album, Old Ideas is out on January 31, 2012 and here’s a single for a new song called “Show Me the Place.”

Fugazi on MVIMS? – 07/20/2011

hello,

This week, for our penultimate program before we go on indefinite hiatus, the Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show! may just hear from every single member of the influential band, Fugazi.

Fugazi

Emerging from Washington D.C. in 1987, Fugazi are my favourite band of all time and we’ve been lucky to have each and every member on our show at various points over the past six years. When they went on “indefinite hiatus” in 2002, many fans were puzzled by the terminology, even though the words belie the intent. “But so wait, did Fugazi break up?” Nope, they’re on hiatus. Indefinitely. Look, I empathize with you here. As Michelle and I enter into our own indefinite hiatus after working quite diligently on this thing of ours, I too am feeling somewhat uneasy about what pushing pause really means. I need moral support. And I can only think of one group of people who might know exactly what we’re about to go through…
