Bonerific.

I had the pleasure of seeing The Foo Fighters documentary Back and Forth yesterday in a one night only screening, followed by a full album performance broadcast yesterday at Empire Studios in Square One. The screening, having taken place live a week previous in the US and other countries, had its Canadian premiere last night at 7.

The documentary was very intimate, honest and beautiful put together. In usual "rockumentary" format it went through the band's history, starting from the split up of Nirvana to coming and going of different Foo members. It finished up with a look at the recording of Wasting Light, which the band recorded (on tape) in Grohl's garage.

Rating for the entire experience: 8.5/10

Only complaint: watching a live recorded performance in a hot packed theatre, seated, was a bit awkward. But interesting none the less.

I am a happy girl.

Sad to see you go.

After almost a decade of being my favourite band, RX Bandits have announced their last tour.

From the 6 members we started to follow, now to the strong 4, their music evolved from poppy punk ska songs of the Pharmaceutical Bandits to the ever progressing experimental rock they're leaving us with today.

They're counted out as my most seen live band to date, for good reason. (see video link below)

Rx Bandits, much love and respect. As a fan, thank you and I'll miss you.

Well...yup!

Even though it's a year old...

This song will always remind me of Summer 2010.

La Blogotheque's Les concerts à emporter shows have been an inspiration to so many improved live music video websites internationally over the past few years such as Black Cab Sessions, Southern Souls, Shoot The Player etc. It's no doubt that they began a trend recording heavily influential artists in a casual and personal manner.

To date they've included many incredible musicians, the roster of my favourties being Andrew Bird, Priscilla Ahn, Beirut, Bon Iver, Adam Arcuragi, Sigur Rós, Port O'Brien, The Shins, Jason Mraz, Islands, Sufjan Stevens, Vampire Weekend and so so so many more.

The videos also showcase many works by Vincent Moon, one of their most recognized cinematographers/directors. And posted this week Vincent followed Mumford and Sons for one 10 minute, 2 song episode.

Enjoy!

Welcome home from Afghanistan friend. Glad you're safe and sound. Enjoy your short visit in town, and your move into Edmonton!

Brick Street Bakery. (short review)

Today I ordered a sandwich called Coronation Chicken. In it was roasted chicken, apple, apricot, and almond mixed in a light curried mayonnaise. It wasn't as strong tasting as I thought it would be, in fact it was quite delightful!

Price was horrendous, but I am generally satisfied.
