JULY 4 2011<br />
<br />
</span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The experience of Craven Cottage is <b>not</b> that of a bar, nor a pub patio. I wouldn't extend a resemblance to a house party either, <span style="font-size: x-small;">(from what I've seen in my 'college years')</span>. No, Craven Cottage was a true feature this summer; a place to gather round friends, and friends-of-friends to have drinks, conversations, and watch live music. <br />
Located pretty well out-of-sight <span style="font-size: x-small;">(if you're not a frequent bike trail'er)</span>, on the outskirts of the downtown core, Craven Cottage hosted a few get-togethers. I placed myself there for a show July 4th 2011, to see Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk, feat. Reeves, and took some pictures, and captured some songs. Here's one. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">P adds comedic element to NXNE - Awkward street report Pat the 'riff'in' Tiffin might not have a local comedy bar to test his latest jokes, but he's got this segment and its pretty good. NXNE welcomes comedy to their historically music dominated festival and, in the process, Pat snuck his way into the festival - accredited and all. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Handsome Furs in Trinity Bellwoods @ NXNE 2011</b></span><br />
<br />
The band may have thought that we were from London, England [London Calling, Joe Strummer = misleading] but we got the dang interview. Dan and wife/band mate, Alexei, clearly enjoy cigarettes, big beats, and they are also the hottest couple I've ever seen. And, with the release of their third full length <b><a href="http://www.subpop.com/releases/handsome_furs/full_lengths/sound_kapital">Sound Kapital</a> [2011],</b> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Handsome Furs</b></span> are more relevant than ever before.<br />
<br />
In the clip, the couple/band talk about where they find the inspiration for their music; from the UK, to Beijing. Been-there-done-that, and bringing it home. <br />

Everything about this man stands out. His calm energy and careful focus balancing his musical talents and obvious love of women. George Lewis Jr. breaks down the romantic setting in Greenwich Village, which spawned the track Yellow Balloon off his first release <b>Forget [2011]</b>. The follow up to Forget might be one of the most anticipated releases of this year. </span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />

This week long mix of music,film, and interactive seminars is one of Canada's premier festival parties. In preparation for this week of debauchery and 4 A.M. Last Calls, I've decided to take a look at the 5 things that I'm looking forward to at NXNE 2011.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1 | Saturday Night @ Younge-Dundas Square<br />
</b><br />
Huey Lewis once exclaimed that it was "Hip to Be Square" but on the Saturday Night at NXNE this year it will be hip to be at the Square. With the show being headlined by both Devo and Men Without Hats, this is one of the nights to take the party outside. The line-up leading up to the eighties throw down isn't that shabby either with Canadian indie rockers Gentleman Husbands, the technical punk brilliance of DD/MM/YYYY, and one of New York's biggest buzz bands Cults. So grab some street meat and make your way downtown for the Saturday night.<br />
<br />
<b>2 | London Bands in Toronto<br />
</b><br />
NXNE at it's core is a week long hipster summer camp. What's the best part of any summer camp experience it's of course catching up with old friends. London is well represented this year. Be it Olenka & The Autumn Lovers on the Friday at the Gladstone or Say Domino on the Thursday Night at Rancho Relaxo. Or returning back to Rancho Relaxo<br />
for the 3 A.M set. on the Saturday Night for A Horse and His Boy. If you hail from the Forrest City make sure to support your local acts while your there.<br />
<br />
<b>3 | Opopo<br />
</b><br />
Having witnessed their show at the A.P.K. Live earlier this year. This techno infused rock act is something not to be missed. If you need to dance and don't mind smoke and lasers see this show.<br />
<br />
<b>4 | A Very Musical Walk Through The Park<br />
</b><br />
Branded as the NXNE picnic, Live in Bellwoods plays most during the afternoon hours. Featuring all acoustic performances might be the best way to relax and recover from the previous night's hangover. You can find past guests of the show Hands & Teeth and Allie Hughes wailing there hearts out in an open acoustic setting. Along with acts we're excited to see such as Modern Superstitions, Teenage Kicks, and Whale Tooth you might want to spend a lazy day in the park.<br />
<br />
<b>5 | The Comedy Records Showcase <br />
</b><br />
As a comedian, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the week long Comedy Records showcases at this years NXNE. The Labyrinth Lounge will be rocking with laughter all week long. As some of the best young Canadian comedians will showcase their wares to the festival going public. Amongst the comedians I suggest you check out the straight out hilarious Bobby Mair, Mark Debonis who is fresh off his win at the Great Canadian Laugh Off, the epic Saturday Night show that counts Matt O'Brien and Bryan O'Gorman as it's comedy book ends. The Sunday show might be the best of them all as One of Canada's most cerebral comics John Hastings is the host as a comedian whose act has legs yet his legs have no knees, the incredible comedy terminator known as Rob Pue. <br />

</tbody></table><b><span style="font-size: large;">NEXT LEVEL SHIT</span></b> <br />
<br />
Not to name names (<span style="font-size: large;"><b>cough</b></span>, <b>sneeze, <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Opopo</span></b>), but after our last BDM event at <b>APKLive</b>, we were feeling a little shakey.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">***We had a good turn out, but the headliner was jockeying bandmates and forgot to tell the bar owner and us about a pre-tty major line-up change - enter a brand spanking NEW contract with bands. <br />
However, the lead singer and guitarist (for that night) wasn't too bad except for his leeeeengthy pauses in between songs. Enough about the bridge you drank under after getting to London town, we have nearly a hundred of them and we need to dance or at least move away from the smoke machine. "Get that laser out of my eye" I heard someone scream on the way to the bathroom. I like lasers.<br />
I'm bitter cause the after party got crashed by the same band who puked pretty close (okay, right on) where I mistakenly decided to lay my pillow the night before hosting the Jack Richardson Music Award's. ***</span><br />
<br />
With Opopo in the rearview, we were now armed and prepared for a theatrical indie, pop experience like none other: <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Allie Hughes & her mysterious band. </b></span><br />
<br />
The night started with a surprisingly up tempo set by<span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span style="font-size: x-large;">Lonnie in the Garden.</span></b></span> APK sound chief and mean musician Adam backed front gal Lynne on guitar adding colour here and there. Two female vocalists added some extra flavour on choruses and hooks. Big ups on the set and <span style="font-size: large;"><b>thank you for the ENCORE! </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">CHRW</span> </b></span>hostess with the mostess, <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Alana Gurr</b></span>, held down the second spot with pure grace. Her guitarist and bassist gave the set some extra life and we got to hear some <span style="font-size: large;"><b>dirty banjo riffs</b></span>. There's something really alluring, yet haunting about Alana's music - was anyone else reminded of Portishead during the bands performance? No! Well frig. <br />
<br />
The last time I heard the song <span style="font-size: large;"><b>'Toxic'</b></span> (cover or not) at APK Live was never ago. These two ideas are, well competing thoughts: <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Indie bar -vs- Pop Princess</b></span> who's life is one part miserable and two parts profitable for those "looking out" for the poor girl. One step forward, two steps back if you ask me. And that's the point, did you see how angst I got about Spears? She's a billion dollar industry and her demise is just as important as her resurrection.<br />
<br />
The point is that Allie's final song 'Toxic' was a highlight to a very tight and well orchestrated set in an environment where Britney's version of that song would NOT fly on an iPod - not while I'm dee-jaying. What's an iPod? <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you've ever been to a Tool concert</b></span>, then Allie turning her back to you at the start of the bands performance wasn't freakish one bit… but wait for it. Looking around, it was obvious that folks were interested in Allie from the start. And it wasn't cause some cool kid was bopp'in to her, it's because she's thought out. <span style="font-size: large;"><b>There's context to her performance</b></span> and her vocal operatic prowess takes the theatre to new heights. Like above the rim in basketball. Go Heat! <br />
<br />
Allie crushed tracks <b>Not The Stars, Rolling Days, Headmaster, and Damaged Nail</b>. As the set climaxed, Allie's character as a singer and performer gained momentum. Turning her back to the audience once more like an editor using a sheet of black to re-set a scene in a film. This time Allie returns with blood drips below both eyes. As the song reaches Timber Timbre like creepiness, this new vampire version of the opera-POP singer we'd come to know and appreciate was (fake) killing her bandmates one by one before treating us to an almost solo with a little help from an almost dead violin player. Amazing effects and pedal work with all the instrumentation. <span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span style="font-size: x-large;">I have never heard this venue sound so full and rich. </span></b></span>London Callinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05281641290048444074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142147939244221440.post-66518162698173563562011-05-25T22:42:00.000-04:002011-05-25T22:42:08.214-04:00LCIV EPISODE 10 | "PHONED-IN"<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="265" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/23743803" width="400"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://vimeo.com/23743803">LCIV EP10 | "PHONED-IN" | PT01</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/bdm">BDM</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> So it was about two weeks to the day after we embarked for CMW that we left for the Junos. U</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">pon leaving London it started to snow on that Wednesday, after stopping in Alymer to pick up Drew's clothes for the week. We called into Drew's folks in Streetsville and were advised to stay off the roads, so we ended up staying in Alymer overnight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> We made it onto the road making it to the Juno accreditation office with only minutes to spare. After meeting the wonderful staff and volunteers of the Juno Media office we headed off to our interview with everybody's favorite Acadian rap collective <b>Radio Radio</b>. They have certainly come a long way from the fur wearing silly frat boys that we saw a few years ago during our first trip to Canadian Music Week. During the interview, one of Drew's favorite subject reared it's head again, as talk quickly turned to the MPC and hip hop production once again. Mix that in with some obligatory conversation on the subject of hockey and a memorable Gorilla Video in a hotel overpass led to a very constructive 20 minutes for all of us involved.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> Having nothing to do on Thursday night we returned to Streetsville to prepare for Friday. With good night of rest we headed into the events of Friday with a renewed vigor. No.1 on the Friday agenda was the Juno Welcome Reception; The first thing you learn while at the Junos: there is a lot of free booze flowing during the event. Everybody in the room including Drew took advantage. For the record, Drew did bring me what I knew was a Coke-a-Cola that had a little extra something but I let him think that he got me with that one. Upon finishing the party, we found our next interview for our Juno's coverage Canada's reigning queen of rap <b>Eternia</b>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> I have to say <b>Eternia</b> and her manager had the best ensembles for the night and were easy to find for interview as they were both wearing shirts that stated "My favourite rapper wears a skirt." As far as custom merchandise goes, that was probably the most humourous that I've seen in my <i><b>London Calling</b></i> travels. Speaking of the Forrest City,<b> Eternia </b>revealed before the interview, that she got her high school diploma from Wheable, so a considerable amount of the pre interview surrounded the awesomeness that is Fast Eddie's. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> The Interview itself was conducted in a side lobby area of the Royal York Hotel. It was a fresh look at a female MC's role in modern hip-hop today. Something that will be interesting when it finally makes it to air will<b> </b>be <b>Shad</b>'s point of view on the subject of the need for more women in hip-hop.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> After leaving the Royal York, we moved onto the Hard Rock Cafe for the Junofest Urban showcase so we can get some <b>Eternia </b>live footage. At this point, Drew and I split up as he had a social engagement that he had to go and attend. I stayed and I wasn't disappointed as <b>Quantesha</b>, <b>Silver (the artist formerly known as Solitaire), and Eternia </b>all took to the stage. If it wasn't enough that Canadian Hip Hop Legends <b>Maestro Fresh Wes </b>& <b>Michee Mee</b> were hosting, at about the half way point of the night <b>Kardinal Offishall </b>arrived and that's when the night started to flip into the crazy territory. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> Spending more then half my night in the booth where we stored our equipment, I had the chance to view people coming and going. Including a quite inebriated <b>Michee Mee</b> running to the bathroom on multiple occasions. So when the much bandied about tangent that she laid on the crowd 3/4's of the way through the show was not really a surprise. It got pretty well damn right comedic when she dawned a pink blue jays cap before bringing on <b>Eternia</b>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">The <b>Eternia</b> performance in one outdated 90's phrase was 'Off-tha-Hook'. Starting in the audience, <b>Eternia</b> by the end of the first song (w)rapped the intimate Cypher like audience around her little finger. Some of the performance footage was some of my stronger work. It's easy when half the work is already done by the artist with a Charismatic performance. By the time I left to meet up with Drew, <b>Eternia</b> had destroyed, an almost 2 minute long freestyle.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> As I said, the night was crazy, what compounded that problem the place where I had to meet Drew was in the Kennsington Market area. You see in my 31 almost 32 years of life I had only been to Kennsington Market once and that was like 15 years ago for a History field trip. So suffice it to say, I got lost. And by the time I met up with Drew, I was out to lunch.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> After some more bickering and running about including a streetcar ride that led us luckily to the right place. We have come to the part of the journey where the awards start getting handed out. Saturday Night's award gala was a great experience. We were holed up in a corner of one of the Salons of the splendiferous and amazingly green Direct Energy. We were one of a few one on one's on this night. In the other corner was E-Talk, then a couple of Internet outlets and us. It was like the distillation of cool. The interviews were numerous and memorable.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> Some of Drew's best interviews that night were the aforementioned <b>Shad</b> & Jazz Darling <b>Kelly Lee Evans</b> It was my first time meeting <b>Shad </b>and even I could tell we were a sight for soar eyes. The short visit was a nice trip down memory road. <b>Kelly Lee Evans </b>was an amazing and fun interview, and reminds me to catch her when she comes to London for SunFest.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> We we're multi tasking as we shot my "A Few Awkward Minutes with Pat Tiffin" as well. My two favorite interviews had to be with the Aboriginal winner <b>Ceremony</b> and Country winner <b>Johnny Reid</b>. The Ceremony interview involved a couple of funny anecdotes that have to be heard. <b>Johnny Reid</b> has a new fan in me. As he is probably the most realistic musician that I've ever met. It was an entertaing few minutes to say the least.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> This all leads us to Sunday, the Juno telecast itself. Britt had joined us during the morning that day after finishing her work week. After rushing to get to the venue again, we got there in time to enjoy a very tasty boxed lunch. At this point one of the funniest thing happened to me. I was hugged and talked to by the very down to earth Liz Trinnear from MuchMusic. Her look that night was sort of Joan Rivers meets N.W.A. era Road Warriors (only minus the facepaint). After enjoying that resbit we moved over to the Interview area.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> During the Telecast, we didn't get many interviews for the show. But the two we did get were amazing. After not getting a whiff of one back during the tent party we finally got a long awaited interview with <b>Deadmau5</b> and we weren't disappointed as a memorable interview that touched upon Dubstep amongst other things occurred. Our second artist of the night was best new artist winner <b>Meghan Smith</b> who coincidentally enough grew up in London. Very rarely does Drew divert into Fashion Talk but with what Meghan was wearing that night it would be remissed if it wasn't covered.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> Thus this begins the Q & A period. I'd be remissed if I didn't talk about how radiant <b>Shania Twain</b> looked or the God-awful question that Drew asked <b>Daniel Lanois</b>. But two acts were refreshing to see talk. Canadian Rock Legend <b>Neil Young</b> showed that not only is relevant but he is also with it when questioned about the current state of digital music, The big winners for the night were <b>The Arcade Fire </b>and their Q & A after winning had every journalist on their A-Games. With all the journalists pretty well melted after the 100 watt <b>Arcade Fire </b>onslaught our night was done.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> After a couple hours of fraternizing with our new friends in the press area we returned to the Coat Check to get our coats. The only problem: our coats had been moved to Lost & Found. Which led us to miss an after party we'd been invited to and inspired some of my funnier tweets of the week. After taking an expensive cab ride to our accomidations for the night. We reminissed until we all fell asleep.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

The interview was a lot of fun for everyone involved, the band joked about their compulsive reading habits, their other work and passions such as motorcycle maintenance and voice acting in e-books, and finally their collective love of 1980s vinyl and tape cassettes.<span> </span>Please keep an eye out for more from the Canadian world-music trio <i>Pacifika.</i></span></div><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 28pt;"><br />
