Join the email list (or just send a message). Live @ mutek 2002. The canadian spelling program. Across the river twin. Reviews: Chain D.L.K. A portion of a Mutek review from www.tangente.org. D'entrée, les premiers à se faire entendre, hellothisisalex, amorcent cette promesse. Leurs airs semblent tout droit sortis d'une trame sonore enjouée de jeu vidéo 8-bit étranger sous une thématique de dessins animés mauve et rose. Exactement comme leur pièce qui se retrouve sur la compilation. - cuL. The album is f...

Shellac and Vinyl: Forgotten Music #19: Cristina - What's a Girl to Do (1984)
http://shellacandvinyl.blogspot.com/2015/08/forgotten-music-19-cristina-whats-girl.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Forgotten Music #19: Cristina - What's a Girl to Do (1984). 1980s New York produced a shocking amount of music. Being ground zero for a great deal of punk, post punk, jazz, new wave and experimental music, a few bands rose to the top, and a huge amount were ultimately relegated to footnotes in history, at best. Cristina was one of them. Cristina recorded two albums, her first in 1980, a self-titled effort, and her second, Sleep it Off. That album is a wonderful mash up of retro e...

Shellac and Vinyl: June 2015
http://shellacandvinyl.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. Forgotten Music #18: Minutes from Downtown - "Heaven Street" (1983). Minutes from Downtown are a Canadian one-hit wonder that aren't very well known even for their one hit, "Heaven Street". Admittedly, I hadn't even heard of them until running into them on a compilation called Pure Canadian Retro 80s. Back in 2009. I had no idea it had been released on CD and neither did Gary. Even better, it was still sealed in plastic. The second-hand store had no idea what they had, ...The compi...

Shellac and Vinyl: A (Brief) Review of the Khatsalano Festival
http://shellacandvinyl.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-brief-review-of-khatsalano-festival.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. A (Brief) Review of the Khatsalano Festival. This past weekend, I took some time off of work to check out the Khatsalano Festival in Vancouver. It's a short review, because I only caught the last couple of hours, since I got to Vancouver about 6 PM, and to the festival at 7 PM. Bros, hippies and 50 year old guys in khakis. Putting in a set! Instead I found the PEAK Performance stage, and a band called Little India. This stage was to highlight the 12 bands in this years PEAK Perform...
