Wintermitts live Friday June 1st on Let Them Eat Cake and With Gay Abandon

Join Beansie (Let Them Eat Cake) and Julie (With Gay Abandon) Friday June 1st from 12:00 until 2:00pm for a special joint episode!

They will be joined by Vancouver's own Wintermitts as they promote their new album "Océans" for a live performance and interview. They sing in French and English. They rock out on trumpets and accordions. They waltz when they need to and they’re as absorbing (and comforting!) as you’d hope a winter mitten would be. This is a Friday you don't want to miss!


Franke James: Environmental Artist

Happy to announce that this Friday, June 1, at 9:20 I'll be interviewing Franke James, a unique and exciting voice in Canadian environmentalism. Franke combines her artwork, with photography and science to create visual essays that illustrate important environmental and social issues. The science in her visual essays is well-researched, the photographs can be devestating and the artwork... cheeky, spirited and fun!


The Commencement Speech Concordia Students Deserve

I haven't come by to post in ages and this isn't news but it is useful and inspiring advice for all, especially to soon to be Concordia graduates. Enjoy the very talented and prolific Neil Gaiman's commencement speech. Good luck to all!

 


School of Seven Bells + Exitmusic @ Sala Rossa

This past May 3rd, Sala Rossa was darker than usual (or it certainly seemed that way) and the room was half-empty (or half-full, depending on your outlook). The show was slow to start - although once it did, the crowd inexplicably maintained a consistent 5 foot distance from the stage. Whether it was because they were curious to watch the projections on the white screen at the back of the stage, or because they were afraid of getting their eardrums blown out, I can't say for sure.
