Looking forward to the discs Rosalie. VERY fun, informative post! Glad to hear Joel Plaskett was good (must have been great at such a small venue like the Casa) Hope to catch his Club Soda gig.
Also got Costi's discs in the mail....are they early???!!
Went to see Kings of Leon...very impressive that such a young group can produce such a big,unique sound at the Bell Centre. It was a great show. The song I enjoyed most live was "I want you"...which I hadn't really even noticed on the disc. I found the angst ridden, young rocker frontman "talk" hilarious. Especially when he addressed recent criticism of latest CD by saying they were just trying to get some of the shi***, Fu***** music off the radio and get some of their own stuff on! Totally get it....

HI -
Just getting the discs into the post this aft.. Have done our regular one full album - a guy from Cape Breton Cherrie and I heard play a couple years ago. Quite good, hope you like it, easy going.
I also did my first mix. Boy that was tough, my hats go off to you all for the great mixes we have received over the last few years. Truly, this sharing of music is inspired, thanks again Kent.
Info on the disc- well, tunes I like. Have a couple from this wacked out group I heard in NYC 3 years back - Semi-Precious Weapons- the lead singer is inspired, hysterical, and an artist in all senses, he even makes kick ass jewellery that fashionistas sport. Also a couple form Joel Plaskett Emergency - who I just found out used to be in Thrush Hermit - heard him back in May at Casa Popollo - great concert, great performer. A group - The Thermals - introduced to us by a nurse at the Jewish whom I would like to introduce to the group if we are taking new members - I almost wanted to just copy his mix and send it out as my own... would that be cheating? Let me know if we are indeed up to any new members.... One from John Mayer that I figured if all the masses are digging him he must be doing something right, and loved this song. Alex Lloyd from Australia. Others, mix from Mark Farina (San Fracisco dj - reminds me of that cool San Fran vibe, sooooo cool); followed by - dare you not to dance - Lady (not the Commodores); some new, some old - can Depeche Mode be inspirational? Working on that one but I think they might. Then a nod to my past with Prefab Sprout and finished up with Plaskett bringin'er home, as they say. It was tough to make it all swing, hope it works. Think that's about it.
Oh and I put in one by Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 - which my children remind me now should really be called The Jackson 4 because Michael died - I'm not making this up, but it is true - anyway, I don't know who is the king in this song, Michael or the production, but sure dig him singing his heart out in this one. Alas.
By the way, sorry there is foul language on the mixed disc, sorry kids.
'TIl next year..... R & C
