Environment News Story Links

Hey there and thanks for dropping by. Wanted to make sure I got the news links for today's show posted before midnight.

Canada gets one half-right as BPA Bisphenol A is declared toxic but not banned from use. This in spite of studies that show ...the plastic causes “adverse effects on animals” exposed at low doses, including biochemical changes in the central nervous system, effects on the immune system and enhanced susceptibility to breast cancer.

Winter Gloves @ Il Motore

Winter Gloves launched their new CD, All Red, at Il Motore on Friday, Sept. 24th. This Montreal-based synth pop outfit is a newcomer to the indie scene, but have made it big, being named Best New Artist by iTunes Canada after their debut release, About a Girl in 2008. Their curious instrumentation (including a Wurlitzer and a synth bass) have garnered them a spot in the hearts of fans.


Les Savy Fav @ The Little Burgundy Pop Loft (Pop Montreal)

In another showcase of late night festival mayhem, I had the pleasure of experiencing Les Savy Fav live and in person for the first time ever. Being a late adopter of their brand of high octane, zany post-hardcore madness, I was warned that it would be an amazing live show. No one who commented would elaborate much, but each of them promised that the venue would likely be marred from the experience.

Holy Fuck / Indian Jewelry / Bad Tits @ The Little Burgundy Pop Loft (Pop Montreal)


After finishing my radio show, I hopped into my car with Acetate Gratified host Lachlan F and we headed down to the venue.  It must be said that this place (for the uninitiated) is not easy to find if you rely on Google Maps.  We parked somewhere close to the bottom of the mountain on the west side of Parc Avenue and it turned out we were a few kilometres off base.  Go ahead and search for 6600 rue Hutchison and you will be pinned on someone's doorstep near the McGill ghetto.
