While heaps of people in Vancouver\nseemed to think doomsday was nigh and life as we know it was about to\ncome to a rainy, grinding halt, I was was all roses. I refused to fall victim to\nthe Labour Day blues, because summer was not ending. First, I wasn't\nreturning to school for the first time in two years. Second, the weather\ndidn't abruptly turn to sub-zero sleet and snow. We continued to have\nbeaming blue-skied, twenty-plus degree days all month. Third, summer\nwas not only figuratively still going strong, it technically didn't end until\nSeptember 21. Don't just take my word for it, it's science!\nBut when Olio Festival wrapped up and a bite creeped into the air recendy,\nI surrendered and now I admit it. Summer is over. And everything is going to\nbe fine. I wore a toque for the first time in months this weekend. I'm drinking coffee in the morning without sweating buckets. Colours are changing.\nPumpkins are prevalent. The autumnal onset is pretty fine, indeed.\nOctober is shaping up to be a great month in Discorder land, too. In this\nissue, cover artist White Poppy chats us about art-worlds colliding; comedian\nPaul Anthony talks shop about glass-smashing and winged creatures; and in\na trip back to 1990, we reminisce of the good ol' days when Ice-T was flipping\nthe bird on the cover of Discorder, amongst other things. Also, SHiNDiG is in\nfull swing every Tuesday night at the Railway Club, andlhearBen \"Jokes-for-\nBeer\" Lai is on fire, as usual. If supporting local emerging musicians is your\nbag, I recommend checking it out.\nIf that isn't enough, there's one word that should get you through this\nmonth, regardless ofhowyou feel about the weather and activities, the holiday\nto end all holidays: Hallowe'en.\nCandy and costumes, anyone?\nRead on and stay rad,\nLaurel Borrowman\nFEATURES\nREGULARS\n09 White Poppy: Crystal Dorval is the one-woman powerhouse behind White Poppy.

CARTOON\nCOLLEGE\nby MAEGAN\nTHOMAS\nillustration by\nBR1TTA BACCHUS\nCartoon College is not about digital superstars,\nnext-gen ironic animators, or even pop culture\nweb comics. It's a film about comics.\nDirectors Josh Melrod and Tara Wray welcome us to White River Junction, Vermont,\nhome to the Center for Cartoon Studies and not\nmuch else. Each year 20 promising cartoonists\nenter a grueling Master of Fine Arts program\nthat would make even the most dedicated student blanch. It's pen-to-paper, squint inducing\nwork, and the film traces their ups and downs,\nas well as their relationships with the work,\neach other, previous students, and the cartooning industry. Full of nerds being nerds, the film\nis quirky, poignant, and devoid of pretension,\ndespite stating that \"comics are a simplification of literature, like poetry is a simplification\nof prose.\"\nWhat makes the story so interesting is that\nthese are no fanboys and fangirls. One commentator notes, \"Their dreams don't hinge on\n.rJJPf\/^t\/j\n3GMJ00N\nI COLLEGE f\nr\nCyrillic Typewriter. His piano trills and airy\naccents will be familiar to Vancouverites, but\nwith a new skew.\n\"I didn't want it to be too cartoonish. When\nthey did their first edit of the film, and I turned\nin the first batch of songs, [Wray] referred to\nthem as Peanuts on acid. So it was pretty wacky,\na little carnivaly and cartoony, and that was fine\nat first. But then the movie got almost completely scrapped, so I decided to do the music\n\"I DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE TOO CARTOONISH. WHEN THEY DID THEIR\nFIRST EDIT OF THE FILM, AND I TURNED IN THE FIRST BATCH OF\nSONGS [WRAY] REFERRED TO THETrtAS PEANUTS ON ACID.\"\ndrawing Spiderman. They have their own stories to tell.\" Another difference is a change\u2014or\nreturn\u2014to a more d.i.y. method of producing.\nSelf production, self release, and direct trades\nat fairs are common and necessary in a world\nwhere breaking into the shrinking publishing\nworld is harder than ever.\nThe moments of stress and victory are\nunderscored by an indie soundtrack including\nTortoise, Tokyo Police Club, Fire Tapes, and\nmore. But the musical highlight, and perhaps\nthe film's appeal for Discorder readers, is the\noriginal score by Jason Zumpano of Zumpano,\nDestroyer, Lost Souls, and most recently,\nall over again,\" Zumpano told Discorder. Melrod\nand Wray turned to Zumpano for Cartoon College\nafter Wray used his music for her 2006 film\nManhattan, Kansas.\n\"They wanted the indie rock vibe, and I'm\nnot really into that stuff, but I did some guitar,\nmore rock 'n' roll, more uptempo instrumental\nwith synths and percussion as opposed to just\npiano. Going with someone else's vision, trying to tie the two together to complement it, and\nthen to do it for 35 seconds, 32 seconds, that's\n\u00b1e difficult part.\"\nIt turns out that the Cartoon College didn't\njust teach these burgeoning artists new\napproaches; working on the film influenced\nZumpano's own personal composition. Both\n\"Vato's Gold\" and \"Costigan's Manor; Pavilions &\nPalaces,\" on his latest release French Door, are from\nthe film. \"I almost never played guitar and Cyrillic\nTypewriter has guitar all over it.\"\nLike Zumpano, these cartoonists are both\ncommitted to their own vision and subject to\nthe demands of their industry. Is this the only\nsimilarity?\n\"Personal issues can certainly seep into\nthe work. This can be good. This can be\nbad. Like music, cartooning can be more\nof a vanity project as opposed to a career,\nas it can be hard for others around you to\ntake it seriously or even notice. In a way\nthis makes it more meaningful. [I] t comes from\nwithin and quite often stays there. Fortunately\nthough, sometimes a song here, a comic strip\nthere, manages to escape and is sent out into the\nworld.\"\nZumpano just wants to make music. And these\nartists just want to draw comics.\nCartoon College is sponsored by CiTR and screens Sept\n29, Oct 4 and Oct 5 as part 0\/the Vancouver International\nFilm Festival.

GOOGLY EYES\nSTUDIOS\nby ANGELA\nYEF\nillustration by\nAARON READ\nIt's near impossible to count the times someone has raved about a show because it felt so\nup-close and intimate. Stand-out concerts are\noften those spent shoulder-to-shoulder with\nfellow music fanatics, close enough to watch\nsweat bead down the drummer's face, or to hear\nthe creak of the singer's chair as they tune their\nacoustic guitar. Those are the shows people\nwant more of, and the folks at Googly Eyes\nStudios are making them happen.\nAfter feeling a void in Vancouver's West End\nfor artists to share ideas, perform, and have\na place to work, the collective that makes up\nGoogly Eyes\u2014Jensen Gifford, Benjamin Garner,\nSonya Opal, Cali Travis, and Shane Scott-\nTravis\u2014decided to set up shop in the place they\nknow best: their home. Situated in the heart of\nthe West End, Googly Eyes is located above a\ntiny convenience store and acts as half artist studio space, half apartment to Travis and Gifford.\nFrom the look of the front door, it's\neasy to assume you might have the wrong\naddress. The studio is camouflaged nicely\namongst the charming character houses surrounding it. But ascend up the steep wooden\nstaircase, and it's like discovering a top-\nsecret lair. The space is unique, yet homely\nand familiar. In place of a living room there's\na small stage for bands to perform on, and\ninstead of a second bedroom there's a quaint\nart space fit for a gallery showing. \"There's\nsomething really special and intimate about\na unique space like this that we want to share\nwith as many people as we can,\" Travis says.\nGoogly Eyes has already hosted several\nevents, the most recent being a show with\nCalgary trio, Raleigh, and an exhibit of Opal's\nillustrations. Travis and Gifford, who are also\nin the studio's house band, We Are Phantoms\nAgain, have even recorded several tracks at\nGoogly Eyes.\nMuch of the success of its events and\nprojects is credited to the space itself.\nAdmiring venues like the Railway Club and\nthe Biltmore Cabaret, the founders of Googly\nEyes know the benefits of having a smaller\nspace for live shows.\n\"This house that Googly Eyes exists in is a\nreally special place. It's a really creative place,\"\nScott-Travis says. \"The people who have played\nhere have been really enthusiastic about it. They\nall want to come back.\"\nScott-Travis, Travis, and\nGifford also express how\nsupportive and interested\nthe neighbours have been,\ninspiring them to host\nfamily Halloween arts and\ncrafts events, as well as possible matinee shows. But\nthe real goal is to extend\ntheir reach beyond their\nbeloved neighbourhood.\nIn the works is a show with\nVictoria's Hawk and Steel,\nand collaboration with\nother art collectives and\nvenues in the city.\nHowever, as crowds get\nlarger and more people discover their events, it begs\nthe question: how Googly\nEyes will manage and balance the business side of\nthings while retaining the\nfun, communal vibe?\n\"We're not doing this to make money. We're\ndoing this to make friends,\" Scott-Travis says\nwith a laughs.\nWith their warm welcomes and early success,\nit's a statement you can believe. It's only a matter\nof time then, before the Googly Eyes gang will be\nthe most popular kids in town.\nGoogly Eye Studios is located at 957 Nicola\nStreet.

I hung\nout in a room, an art space, and a music area.\nI discussed songs, and examined a collage. I\nmet the creative mind behind White Poppy in\nher East Van basement suite, the address that\nhosted all the above.\nCrystal Dorval is proof that art is fluid. She\ncrafts visual art in the same room where she writes\nmusic and jams-with her boyfriend and bassist\nIan Kinakin. Her latest project, White Poppy, has\nbloomed in this particular context, where two\ndesks sit against adjacent walls and an aging blue\nsuitcase pours out looping pedals onto the floor.\nIn this room an artistic surge could mean a grab\nfor scissors or a reach for a guitar.\n\"I was an artist before I was a musician,\"\nDorval explains as we look at her recently sold-\nout cassette, I Had a Dream. The cover art is a\ndigital collage of DorvaPs own design. Such\nmulti-media avenues have held her attention\nin recent days and besides working on collages\nwith found Internet objects, she has also been\nexploring video making. With two completed\nmusic videos under her belt already, including\none for the album's title track, she confesses\nhappily, \"I just want to make music videos for\nall my friends' bands right now.\"\nFor Dorval, making art is a malleable exercise. Much of her visual work, like the cassette's\ncollage, appears as layered and ambient as her\nsongs. \"I notice that now when I'm working on\na video for one of my songs or making art specifically for the music, I'm thinking about all of\nthem together and how they all fit\" Whether\ntransparent as a riff, solid as a picture, or flow-'\ning like a video, Dorval conducts all elements of\nher art confidently.\nWhite Poppy is her most powerful demonstration of this creativity. Though Dorval's\nmusical career began several years ago with\nher Victoria-based band Vincat, she has since\nmoved away from such collaborative projects.\nShe admits, \"My main projects usually start\nfrom writing and recording at home.\" Her\nmost recent pop band, My Friend Wallis, is a\nperfect example. It was an independent project\nwith various members participating intermittently. In fact, she sees My Friend Wallis as the beginning of an evolution where, \"White Poppy\nis just the next step.\"\nInspired by world music, Krautrock and\n\"really good pop melodies,\" White Poppy's first\neight-song album is a collection of hazy tribal\njams where Dorval complicates traditional ambient sound. Already described on the influential\nmusic blog, Gorilla vs. Bear, as being a \"slightly\npoppier Grouper,\" White Poppy takes rhythmic\nloops and drenches them in waves of drone and\n\u25a0 airy vocals. The result is a well-defined and consistent beat coexisting with soft and edgeless\nambiance.\nHer lyrics add purposeful dimension to this\nhaze. Although hard to understand, they bring\nnarrative personality to White Poppy's sound.\nDorval explains, \"I want my lyrics to be heard\nbut I don't like when they're heard in the context\nof the song.\" Although she spends considerable time writing them, Dorval likes the way they\nsound best when they're \"slightly layered under\neverything.\" That everything being drone.\nAs drone has gained popularity in the city,\nDorval has found herself participating in somewhat of a trend. In the presence of local bands\nlike Waters, the Passenger, and Hierarchies,\nit seems natural to pause and glance back on\nthis movement for a moment Dorval considers possible sources of influence and decides,\n\"My ventures into drone music were more from\njust playing at home, just having my pedals and\nplaying around with them.\" Itwas only after\nshe showed someone what she was working\non that it was realized as drone. \"Then I realized what I was doing was something already. I\nthought I was just playing around with pedals.\"\nAnd the minimalist, unmoving harmonies\nof drone fit perfectly with both Dorval's creativity and with her new distribution label, Not Not\nFun Records. Although intimidated, Dorval\nemailed the L.A. -based company months ago\nand was both delighted and surprised to receive\na welcoming response. It meant that I Had a\nDream was the first in her career she didn't have\nto arrange herself. She smiles, \"Itwas pretty\ncool to see that materialize.\"\nContending highlights are her set at Sled\nIsland earlier this year, where she was greeted by\nrain-soaked fans who had biked through the city\nfor her show. Considering White Poppy's young\nlife and the enormous list of bands playing in\nthe festival, Dorval knew how to spot a compliment And with upcoming shows at the Waldorf\non September 26, her seven-inch release at the\nAstoria on October 6, and a full-length release\nslated for late 2012 or early 2013, Dorval's most\nvalued memories may have yet to bud.\nWHETHER TRANSPARENT AS A RIFF, SOLID\nAS A PICTURE, OR\nFLOWING LIKE A VIDEO,\nDORVAL CONDUCTS\nALL ELEMENTS OF HER\nART CONFIDENTLY. lettering by\nALEXHEILBRON\nphoto by\nJONATHAN DY\nFINE\nTIMES\nby WADE\nJORDAN\n*We were suddenly going to be in the studio in less than four weeks and hadn't finished or even played most of these songs,\"\nsays Matt Moldowan (vocals) about Fine\nTimes' first foray into recording a full-length\nalbum. A year ago, Moldowan and band-\nmate Jeffrey Powell (bass) made a list of\npeople that they wanted to work with, and at\nthe top was legendary Vancouver producer\nHoward Redekopp (New Pornographers,\nTegan & Sara, Mother Mother). When they\ntossed around the idea of working together,\nRedekopp said he just happened to be finishing another project and had a window\nof a few months to work with them. Their\nalternative? Wait another year for him. The\ntiming was right, but also a wake up call for\nMoldowan and Powell.\nThe duo hired musicians to track drums,\nhorns, some guitar, and backing vocals. The\ngang went into the studio in the winter, mixed\nin the spring, and played a couple local gigs in\nthe summer. Now in the throes of autumn, the\nband includes Juice (drums), Jahmeel I\n(guitar), and Max Sample (keys). Discorder\nstopped by Powell's West End apartment to\ninterview him and Moldowan the night before\nthe album's release.\nTheir partnership began at Music World\nbefore closing in 2004. The two, who rarely\nworked together or even spoke, finally struck\nup a conversation in the back of the pop\/rock\nsection during Powell's last shift. When he\nmentioned that he played music, he recalls that\nMoldowan replied, \"I, too, write music. Pop\nradio hits.'' They laugh, and Moldowan denies\nhe said it that way.\n\"Or something to that extent I remember\nban being very young and very cocky,\" recalls\nPowell.\nThus, the seeds for Fine Times were planted.\nThose same seeds grew into their first band,\n16MM. \"Then there was a bunch of boring in-\nbetween stuff, where nothing really happened.\nAnd now we're Fine Times,'' says Moldowan.\nWhen their 16MM manager Johnathan\nSimkin decided to formally create Light Organ\nRecords in early 2010, it was a \"no brainer,\" according to Moldowan, that they would be\nincluded. They already had a great relationship\nwith Simkin, who was very hands off about their\njoining the label. \"He basically said just go make\nthe record and send it to me when it's done.\"\nOriginally, Moldowan wanted to call the\nband Times, but Powell wasn't feeling it\n\"There's a lot of shitty band names out there,\"\nsays Moldowan. \"Really you just have to have\na band name that's okay... Then the name\nbecomes cool by doing something that's worthy. Take away the bias that you have toward the\nband, because you know all of their material,\nand just look at the name. If you've never heard\nanything by U2, for example, it's kind of a shitty\nname. So the band name just needs to be okay.\"\nWhile searching for something better, Powell stumbled upon Fine Times: An Oral\nMemoir, a fictional piece by Woody Allen. The\nhippie in him saw the happy accident as a sign.\nThe two have played together long enough\nto be comfortable making fun of each other,\nand their dynamic works both as friends and\nbandmates. Powell seems more focused on\nthe smaller details and the business side of the\nband, while Moldowan is more focused on the\nmeaning behind the music.\nWhen asked about metaphors in some\nsongs, Powell defers to Moldowan. When asked\nabout the track sequence, Moldowan defers to\nPowell. \"That's how things sort of teeter with\nus,\" says Powell. \"I'm concerned with the visual\nelements and the track listing, but if Matt leaves\nto go to the bathroom, I couldn't fully explain\nthe meaning of that song.\"\n\"Sometimes [a song] just comes together\nreally quick. Those are the best songs. That's\nwhy 'Hey Judas' just always feels right because it\ncame together really quick,\" says Moldowan\n\"That's the most important part about writing pop songs. You've got to make it feel like\nsomeone's familiar with it already, and you've\nnever heard it before. Ultimately that's what\nmakes the song catchy. It sticks in your head.\nIt's comfortable.\"\nAnd listening to Fine Times does indeed\nsound familiar. They've incorporated epic\nsong intros reminiscent of the Killers, musical\ninterludes of Phoenix, melodies of Two-Door\nCinema Club, and the energy of \u00b1e Strokes.\nGive the album a few listens, and chances are\nyou'll be singing along. Tracks like \"High\nBrow, Low Times,\" \"Lions,\" and \"Into the\nMechanarium\" with their repetitive choruses,\nsimple lyrics, and bop-your-head-along melodies, are songs you'll be happy to have stuck in\nyour head, long after the album is done.\nFrom start to finish, it's an impressive debut\neffort from this band that has the timing just\nright and the name just fine. NICK EVERETT &    bvCALI\nEVERYBODY    TRAVIS\nphoto by\nJENSEN GIFFORD\nillustration by\nMAIA NICHOLS\nIt was August and the van was a world of limbs: feet where they shouldn't\nbe, knees on the dash, arms draped out of windows and atop shoulders and\nwedged under the bulging carriage of a bajillion backpacks. We listened to\nGuided by Voices and rallied unanimous delight in the spotting of mountain\ngoats. We asked eternally, \"What time is it? No, what time is it here?\"\nHaligonians Nick Everett & Everybody had been on tour since May 28. The\nthree-piece performed (and drove) and read (and drove) and made friends\n(and drove) all the way to Vancouver Island, and immediately after playing\nthe Astoria in East Van, ushered Vancouver two-piece We Are Phantoms\nAgain into their '95 Trans Sport to drive\u2014this time to Calgary\u2014for a show\nbooked the next night.\nThat may seem like a bastard of an itinerary, evenslightly ridiculous. I know.\nIt was me hunkering in the (soon to be very familiar) backseat at 2 a.m., with\nJensen Gifford, the other half of We Are Phantoms Again.\nThis no-sleep-till-Calgary business may exemplify one of the \"logistical\nerrors\" that comes with booking a three-month tour independently, Adam\nWhite (drums) of Nick Everett & Everybody muses. \"We realized we can do it\nall ourselves, but at the same time, we can't.\"\nSeem a little contrary? So does the Canadian music scene: geographically enormous, yet, \"The scene is so small. Everyone knows everyone, from\nVancouver to St John's,\" Nick Everett remarks later, on the line from his\nseasonal residence on a farm in rural Ontario. Our conversation is interrupted\nonly by goldfinches playing in the wind.\nThough a London, Ontario native, Everett has been a charming and talented\nmusical crux for the East Coast since moving to Halifax in 2009, quickly accruing buzz and acclaim. His latest project saw the alluring addition of Sydney,\nNova Scotia natives Scott Boudreau (bass) and White. The union elevated\nEverett's solo sound from progressive-folk into unique and ingenious rock-\narrangement tapestries that must be experienced to be appreciated.\nAnd experience it I did, many-a-night while on tour. But a west coast band\ntouring with an east coast band? Rival scenes, man! Bloodshed and tears. If s\nprobably no surprise that the coastal clash is pretty much a myth, nothing\nmore than \"people get[ting) wrapped up in their own scenes, then get[ting]\nxenophobic. But there's absolutely no real rivalry,\" Everett says. Plus, White\ninsists, \"touring with a Vancouver band and being a Halifax band is like\nconquering the whole country together!\"\nThe hours spent in the van napping mouth-gaped on shoulders, laughing\nover idiotic cramped-quarters happenstance, and helping each other staple\nand fold EPs attested to that. And if there's no animosity spurned from our\ncountry's craggy coasts, the central sprawl was a molten honey-pot\nAcross the swooning fields some days later, we were welcomed to Saskatoon\nby hosts Elsa Gebremichael and Ash Lamothe of dream-pop group We Were\nLovers. In the scarf-draped, lantern-lit backyard, we were reminded of the\nsignificance and romance of a good house show.\n\"Everyone wants to feel like a local wherever they go, and there's no better\nway to do that than to be invited into someone's home and play for their friends.\nIt's an important way to get connected to an audience,\" offered White.\nThere's something sweetly Canadian about that sentiment and, gratefully,\nreoccurring. White pointed out, \"[house shows are] picking up, like with\naeousricroqf.ca. There are lots of different ways to connect with people to get\nhouse shows together. It's an interesting phenomenon. You can sign up as\na host or artist\"\nThe van ploughed forth, and with pangs of sadness, We Are Phantoms\nAgain parted ways with Nick Everett & Everybody in, unlikely enough, Lion's\nHead, Ontario. The guys continued their voyage all the way to St John's, and\nfinally ended the tour three months and eight days after they departed. \"We\nmade twenty bucks!\" laughed Everett.\nFor now, Everett is hatching plans with a promising Edmonton-based label\nin its embryonic stage, while recording material regularly with his portable\nstudio. White and Boudreau are pursuing individual projects in Halifax, with\nNick Everett & Everybody on the back burner until they're reunited. \"I'd like\nto put my hand in a hundred cookie jars,\" confessed White. We Are Phantoms\nAgain are booking shows in Vancouver and co-running Googly Eyes Studio\nwith an artists' collective.\nThough a continent apart, we feel that same creative momentum. Is it a\nCanadian musician thing? Am I mental with seasonal-affective sentimentality?\nWhat is it that pulls artists together and intertwines them inseparably?\nEverett endeavours earnestly. It's likely the same reason a Halifax band\ntoured, counter-intuitively, with a Vancouver band, the summer of 2012:\n\"Logic.

His\nmonthly two-hour variety-\ninspired talent show, also\naired on Shaw and Novus as a\nhalf hour television series, has\nfeatured both bald eagles and\na glass-smashing side-show\nact. And that was in the same\nhalfhour.\n\"Would that have been\nas exciting if we hadn't been\nwhispering in a room with\nbirds-of-prey just a moment\nbefore?\" he asks, explaining\nthat the variety makes each act\nthat much better.\nFor Anthony, the best acts\nare the ones that catch the\naudience by surprise, and he's\nconstantly looking for talent of\nthe unconventional sort. \"I'll\ncheck out the bulletin boards\nin the library,\" he says, \"but,\nthere's no treasure map. It's\nlike shopping at a shitty second-hand store. You're going\nto spend a lot of time there, but\nyou might find a gem.\"\nHigh on Anthony's\nwish list for future acts is\nmodern dog sport, Canine\nMusical Freestyle.

Ice-T,\nPublic Enemy,\nthe PMRC,\nthe CRTC,\n& Censorship\nin the '90s\nby COREY\nRATCH\nIn February 1983, Jennifer Fahrni\nand Mike Mines published the\nJirst issue of Discorder. That\nmeans we are nearly 30 years old.\nIn the next Jour issues, well tell\ntales that harken back to the days\nof Discorder yore. Here's one\njrom the early '90s.\nSong lyrics were a big deal in the 1980s. Amidst\nReaganism, Thatcherism, televangelism, and\nconservative \"isms\" of other sorts, the '8os were\nmarked by outrage at the potentially damaging\neffects of popular music. While organizations\nsuch as the Parents Music Research Center (PMRC)\nconcerned themselves with attempting to stop\nmorally objectionable music from infiltrating the\nsanctity of the American family, the more \"progressive\" side of the political spectrum had concerns\nof its own. Progressive strides made throughout\nthe '60s and '70s had heightened awareness of\nhate speech, which many felt had the power to\nincite abuse or violence. By the late '80s, a crop of\npolitically charged rap artists were making themselves impossible to ignore, both by Christian\nconservatives and arbiters of political correctness\non the left.\nArtists like N.W.A. and Ice-T unabashedly\nexposed aspects of the urban black experience\n- to the culture at large, addressing a society they\nfelt left many black youth with little recognition\nand even less opportunity. While many saw the\nbroader hip hop culture as a positive move towards\nexpression and self-determination, some rap artists were fielding charges that their lyrics glorified\nracism, misogyny, homophobia, and violence. In\nthis climate, perhaps it was appropriate that the\nillustration by\nMICHAELSHANTZ\ncover of Discorder's September 1990 issue, featured\nan image of Ice-T giving the finger to the camera.\nIn the interview, Ice-T answers for his own use of\nthe words \"nigger\" and \"faggot,\" and saying,\"...\nthere's never been one documented case of a kid\nlistening to a rap album and committing a crime\nor a kid listening to a 2 Live Crew album and raping somebody.\"\nThat same issue featured an interview with\nSonic Youth's Steve Shelley, who spoke to the\nissue of music censorship as well as discussing the\n\" SMASH THE PMRC\" logo as the cover art for their\nalbum Goo. The issue also featured an extended,\nvery tongue-in-cheek piece by Discorder writer The\nMan Sherbet that pointed to the fact that much of\nthe classic rock that groups like the PMRC had\ngrown up with, long revered as innocuous cultural\ntreasures, contained potentially offensive (often\nmisogynistic) lyrics, as well.\nBut perhaps more than any other artists, itwas\nPublic Enemy who raised the political stakes of\nexpression in rap. In a May 1989 interview with\nthe Washington Times, Public Enemy's \"Minister\nof Information,\" Professor Griff, among other\nthings, declared that Jews were responsible for wmtmmtu&m\n&SSsteH\u00b0S&^^SB^\na\nCITR accused of^%2Sfi\npromoting Public\nEnemy ami racism\n\u25a0 ^^2* w. .?'%*>' ...\n^\u20224\n3d\n~1 ^     '       -\nf*\n7$;\"?&^   *\n\"the majority of the wickedness that goes on across\nthe globe.\" The comments caused a firestorm, adding to the myriad controversies already surrounding the group. Chuck D denounced the remarks\nand ultimately fired Griff.\nReleased in March 1990, Fear of a Black Planet feature^ what was perhaps part of Chuck's response\nto the controversy in the song \"Welcome to the\nTerrordome:\"\nCrucifixion ain't no fiction\nSo called chosen frozen\nApology made to who ever pleases\nStill they got me like Jesus\nThe lyrics only intensified the charges of anti-\nSemitism, though Chuck assured the press that\nthat was only one interpretation of the lyrics and\n\"not what [he] was thinking.\" In the lead-up to\na CiTR-sponsored Public Enemy concert at the\nOrpheum Theatre on August 30,1990, a complaint\nwas filed to then-UBC President David Strangway\nby a member of the Vancouver Jewish community,\nexpressing concern that UBC was funding a radio\nstation that had chosen to support such an event\nUBC released a position statement, noting the\ndelicate balance between free and responsible\nexpression, and promised to set up a Task Force\non Race Relations, examining related issues across\ncampus. The concert went on as planned.\nWi\u00b1in a week of Public Enemy's concert, CiTR\nheld its first hip-hop competition, DJ Sound Wars,\nto support the Pacific Northwest's fledgling hip-\nhop community. But soon after this celebration\nand the release of Discorder's Ice-T cover, then-\nCiTR Music Director Chris Buchanan received a\nletter dated September 4 from the BC Organization\nTo Fight Racism. BCOFR Secretary Alan Dutton\nstated, \"CiTR has demonstrated a flagrant disregard for Canadian broadcast policy by airing and\nsponsoring the work of Public Enemy\u2014a group\nwell known for promoting racism and religious\nintolerance.\" The BCOFR had written directly to\n\u2666\u2122 Left\nLetter from BC\nOrganization to\nFight Racism\ntotheCRTC,\nrequesting CiTR's\nbroadcast licence\nbe revoked\n(September 1990).\n*~Right\nUbyssey article\nfrom (September\n1990).\nthe CRTC, requesting them to immediately revoke\nCiTR's license to broadcast.\nIn her response letter to Mr. Dutton, CiTR\nStation Manager Linda Scholten cited CiTR's music\npolicy \"not to air any material which includes any\nverbal utterances that promote discrimination or\nhatred against an individual or a group or a class\nof individuals on the basis of race, national or\nethnic origin, colour, religion, gender, age, mental\nor physical ability, sexual orientation, or occupation.\" She went on to assert that \"Welcome to the\nTerrordome\" was not in breach of this policy nor\nCRTC regulations condemning the incitement\nof \"hatred or contempt towards any individual or\nidentifiable group,\" couched under the heading\nof \"abusive comment\" She said that the song is\na summary of the Professor Griff controversy\u2014\nwhich she described as \"repulsive\"\u2014and when\nexamined in its entire context is clearly strongly\nopposed to violence. She also pointed\nout thatPublic Enemy declared their\nopposition to racism of any kind at\ntheir recent concert and, as a group,\nwork to attack racial oppression. Later,\nspeaking to the Ubyssey, Scholten\nechoed Chuck D's sentiment, saying\"\nthe song is open to interpretation\nand not \"implicitly anti-Semitic.\" In\nthe interest of open discourse, CiTR\noffered airtime for people to voice\nconcerns over the song, something\nScholten said no individual or group\nchose to do.\nIn an early letter to CiTR concerning theissue, the Secretary General\nof the CRTC said that they were not\na censorship body, but were there\nto see if there is blatant violation of\nregulations. Ultimately, the CRTC\nagreed that the song did not breach\nthe abusive comment regulation and\nagreed that the overall nature of the song was one\nof anti-violence.\nThough not much ultimately came of CiTR's\nbrush with the political controversies of rap\nlyrics\u2014they didn't lose their license\u2014the incidents highlight the ground between free speech\nand dangerous speech that the station and this\nmagazine, as part of their responsibility as media,\nhave had to tread ever since. In a broader sense,\nand given more recent international events, the\ncareful negotiation of this ground is still pertinent\nto us today.\nA month after the Ice-T feature, Discorder followed up in October 1990 with a two-page spread\nentitled \"Don't Believe The Type: Chuck D Speaks,\"\nincluding quotes from Chuck D on everything\nfrom the media to the role of gangsta rap in communicating the black experience. For their part,\nCiTR in a typically tongue-in-cheek move, printed\na small run of black t-shirts with CiTR's version\nof the Public Enemy bullseye logo and the phrase\n\"Fear of a Black T-Shirt.\"  5      \"1=\nCO to I\n.tS   \u00bb CD O\nifflz>\"\n#1\n1\np.\nBroken By Fire,\nFjord, Classic Rick\nlassie Rock Band\nyClub\ni\nB  ft\n\u00ab a\nINDIG!

UNDER REVIEW OCTOBER 2012\nTHE CYRILLIC\nTYPEWRITER\nKHpHJiJiHija rmiiiymaa ManiHHxa\ncan be loosely translated from Russian as \"Cyrillic writing machine.\"\nThere are a dozen countries whose\nofficial language(s) employ the Cyrillic alphabet, and countless ethnic dialects that unofficially use it. In fact, a\nCyrillic typewriter would communicate ideas between over 250 million\npeople worldwide. This may not be\nthe intended meaning of Jason Zumpano's moniker, the Cyrillic Typewriter,\nbut on his sophomore album, French\nBoor, he's certainly opened the doors\nof poetic discourse.\nWith the Cyrillic Typewriter,\nZumpano seamlessly pairs eclectic\nand diverse arrangements with far-\nreaching lyrical poeticism. However,\ndespite its poignant eccentricities,\nthe project has remained coherent\nenough to retain pop accessibility,\nand on French Door, Zumpano enlists\nveteran indie rockers (and old\nDestroyer band-mates) Dan Bejar\nand Scott Morgan to restore balance\nto his songwriting. The reunited trio\nare consistently joined by Nathaniel\nSenffon saxophone, Christina Rzepa\non cello, and Megan Bradfield on\ndouble bass to create an aural spectacle whose dynamics encourage\nactive listening.\nFrench Door begins with SenfPs\nColin Stetson-inspired reverb before\nunveiling the first whirlwind of\nintoxicating lyrical medleys, whose\npace quickens and slows with unpredictable grace on opener \"Dizzy &\nBlessed.\" The album continues in this  ,\nmanner, with thoughtful, calculated\nlyrics juxtaposed by brief instrumen-  j\ntal arrangements that range from\ntriumphant elegance to momentary j\nomen.\nEverything happens so quickly on\nthe first half of French Door, that a !\nsingle mood rarely has time to sink I\nin until halfway through, when it j\nreaches a climax on the wonderfully\ndramatic \"Great White Lodge.\" Here j\nSnefF's drunken, often quixotic, saxo-\nphone faces Rzepa's lugubrious cello\nin contending, albeit brief, exposes\nbefore suddenly halting to make way\nfor Zumpano's depressing cover of j\nDevo's \"Gates of Stealer, the lat- j\nter half of the album proceeds in a\nsubdued fashion that rarely returns\nto the whirling dynamics of the first\nsix tracks.\nAlthough many moods, themes,\nand ideas are up for the taking on j\nFrench Door, their changes are inter-\nesting enough that you're happy\nto just let them float by; if you try\nto force this album, it pushes back j\nwith obscure references to mysticism\nand overlooked intellectuals. French j\nDoor borrows from the experimen-\ntal pop canon through its nuanced\nidiosyncrasies, and fluent listeners\nwill find a comforting familiarity in\nZumpano's unabashed alt-culture ref-\nerences, while adventurous newcom-  I\ners should welcome its unexpected\napproachability.\n\u2014Robert Catherall\nWhoa, where did this Afro-trance :\nalbum come from? Sure enough to j\nmake your blood boil, Dan Snaith !\n(of Caribou) has mastered an unfor- j\ngettable album. After years of DJing j\nclubs on tour, Snaith has combined j\nlayers of trance with a heavy dose of\nAfrican rhythms that are sure to make j\nyou want to move. Dance music at its\nbest, JIAOLONG (pronounced \"TOW- \u25a0\nlong\") has the feeling of getting lost j\nin the dub and reaching the outer\nlimits of the dance floor. Snaith's j\nability to interlace synths with con- j\ngos creates a sound that spirals with I\nhypnotic energy.\nThe initial track, \"Yes, I Know,\" J\nstarts the exploration of beats and \\\ndance rhythms, setting the stage for a j\nsedate, but supercharged, experience j\nof an album. The track has electricity,\nwith horns and soulful vocals that :\ngrow and accent it. Subsequent tracks\ntake different approaches, pushing\nboundaries while they invoke deep\nhouse.\nDaphni's debut album has the j\nability to pull you in and out of\nconsciousness within the layers of j\nunexpected divergences, and down j\nright bliss, notably in the remix of j\n\"Cos-Ber-Zam,\" by Ne Noya. Those I\nfamiliar with Caribou will be pleas- j\nantly surprised to find new turns j\nhitting highs and lows, mixing the\ndancefloor sound with occasional j\nmusical underpinnings.\n\"Jiao\" begins as a subdued track\nwith minimalist beats that devel- ;\nops to combine spacey frequencies\nwith an almost tabla-sounding loop\nthroughout the track. As deep cuts j\nare frequent, and wonderfully mas- i\ntered in this album, JIAOLONG  j\nsatiates the dance fever. What's\nnot to like about something this\ndreamlike, groovy, and full of\nsurprises? You'll want to pick\nthis up, pronto.\n\u2014Dorothy Neufeld\nI FREAK HEAT WAVES\n(Independent)\nAt first glance, opener \"Empty Body\"\nmight give listeners the wrong idea\nof what to expect out of Freak Heat\nWaves' self-titled full length. Swirling, distant guitar chimes and choppy\nbass warm-ups padding on top of\nlight snares conjure music more\ntightly inspired by the likes of Broken\nSocial Scene's You Forgot it in People\nthan Talking Heads' Fear of Music, but\nthere's more than enough post-punk\ndowntroddenness to spread around\nthe remaining eight tracks.\nClues abound on Freak Heat Waves\nthat the band just might be big Joy\nDivision fans, right down to the Ian\nCurtis-esque vocal delivery waiting\ninside each track. But where Curtis'\nlyrics reflected, \"Coldness, pressure...\n[and] crisis,\" singer Steve Lind helps\nmake each tune a dance track for the\nlistener's subconscious.\nExperimental flourishes, like on\n\"Submission,\" show depth and maturity to the record and help the sparse\ninstrumentation stay fresh all the\nway through. \"No Monument\" and\n\"Clearing\" break up the record with\nKraut-rock interludes, while the epic\n\"Instructing\" clocks in at 10 minutes,\nfeaturing rollicking bass lines and\nsurf beats.\nFreak Heat Waves comes across\nas a mix of tight jams and rehearsed\nambiance, and the diversity of layering over its nine songs varies enough\nthat it's hard to find a common strain\nto latch on to. Casual listeners might\nfind songs like \"Kowtow\" difficult\nto focus on, but music nerds will love playing spot-the-influence on\ntracks with wildly divergent flavours.\nWhatever you're expecting going into\nFreak Heat Waves, you'll probably\nbe surprised more than once by the\nend of the record, and that's a beautiful thing, even if it doesn't make for\nan easily-digestible LP. Smarter and\nmore charming than most Kraut-rock\nrecords, and twice as danceable, Freak\nHeat Waves define what it means to\nbe a Victoria band.\n\u2014Fraser Dobbs\nLADYHAWK\n(Triple Crown)\nLadyhawk have always been with us, if\nonly on an individual scale. Its members made themselves busy with other\nprojects, some of which share family\nresemblances with Ladyhawk, like\nDuffy Driediger's excellent power-\npop combo Duffy and the Doubters,\nand the sadly overlooked SPORTS, a\ncollaboration between backup singer\nand guitarist Darcy Hancock and\ndrummer Ryan Peters. Others, like\nthrash metal band Baptists, featuring bassist Sean Hawryluk, have a\nless clear tie.\nStill, it's been four long years\nsince their last outing, 2008's Shots,\nso one might be forgiven for thinking\nLadyhawk are diving a bit too quickly\ninto things with No Can Do, without\neven stopping to change clothes\nfrom these other projects. Like in\nlocal artist Steve Hubert's cover art\nfor the album: a photograph of a fully\nclothed man diving ramrod, headfirst, into a swimming pool.\nNevertheless, No Can Do is a deft,\ntight romp. A fast-paced Duffy and\nthe Doubters influence is clear here,\neven on the slow-burning opener,\n\"Footprints,\" which features crisper\nguitar and drums and more distinct\nvocals than the sludgy, Hawkwind-like\nvideo from that other project that's\nbeen making the rounds for more\nthan a year. The anthemic title track,\n\"No Can Do, 1 is also less meandering\nand more upbeat, though whether\nthis is an improvement is questionable. The rest of the album picks up\nwhere \"No Can Do\" ends, and gains\nmomentum through the end.\nThere's some of SPORTS's darkness on No Can Do, too. \"Bedbugs\" is\nan uplifting power pop track set to\ndepressing lyrics that reference isolation and body horror, while the chorus in \"Evil Eye\" infects its main\ncharacter with a stalker-like\nobsession with a new beau.\nBut you'll still hear a bit of\nclassic Ladyhawk, too. \"Eyes of\nPassion\" starts with Ladyhawk's\ncharacteristic Southern-fried\nriffs as Driedger drawls out lyrics about drunken daughters\nand sons of preachers and the\nDevil before the song gradually\nsinks and drowns in swirling\nreverb after the bridge. It neatly ties\nup an album that very easily could\nhave revved out of control, if not for\nLadyhawk's skilful\u2014and freshly-\npracticed\u2014hands.\n\u2014Chris Yee\nNUDE BEACH\n(Nude Beach)\nYou could be precise and term Nude\nBeach's new LP, II, beach-pop, garage-\nwop, surf-punk, candy-grunge, low* ^\nfi-counjry, even rock 'n' roll. But I\nwould simply call it good. Very, very\ngood. The album's ten tracks were\nrecorded in Manhattan's magical\nHit Factory on 54th Street, where\ntimber walls and brick ceilings have\nwitnessed the likes of the Rolling ,\nStones, John Lennon, Billy Joel, and\nStevie Wonder. Having stayed just\nminutes away recently, amongst the\njazz clubs in Hell's Kitchen, I can say\nit's worth the stop.\nII begins with drummer Ryan !\nNaideau's messy thrashing and the\nperky, steady guitar strums of singer \\\nChuck Bentz. Maybe I'm stretching it,  j\nbut Bentz's voice could be compared j\nto Joe Strummer's on the Clash's !\n\"Straight to Hell,\" his choppy aloof- !\nness piercing like icicles through :\nthe speakers. The album's second\ntrack, \"Walkin' Down My Street,\"\nsounds just like a1 low-fi love song\nsong should, with pleading vocals ''.\nand raspy sleepiness. \"Some Kinda ;\nLove,\" is slighdy less alluring, with\ncountry drawl similar to Punks on 1\nMars.\nThe low, dog-tired pulse of bass- j\nist Jim Shelton makes it seem that ;\nthe band would be ever-so-lovely to \u25a0\nsee live: greasy hair being tousled \u25a0\nto-and-fro, dirty floorboards, and '\nrusty instruments\u2014this is how I j\nimagine a Nude Beach show. Either !\nthat, or just three chums throwing j\ndown honky tunes on the shores of I\nRockaway Park.\nThis album is an array of nostal- ;\ngia, created by country feel good tunes j\nakin to Riding September's tropical- ;\npunk party sound, and Rock n' Roll I\nHigh School-era Ramones. After sev- i\nera! soppy songs, the band rolls :\nin with nippy and hard-hitting j\ndrums in \"Cathedral Echoes\"\nand a peachy, Beach Boys-flared j\ntrackwith \"The Endless Night,\" '\nalso my favorite.\nNude Beach ends II with j\nvibrant guitar picks and a\nsturdy tambourine in \"Loser in\nthe Game\"\u2014an appropriately j\nabrupt and content tone. By the\ntime the album has finished, I \\\nfeel like I've listened to druggy rag-  !\ntimers who play guitar instead of !\npiano, leaving little more to say of\nthe Brooklyn threesome, other than\ntheir 2012 release is a fine, shame- ;\nless listen.\n\u2014Josefa Cameron\n(Suicide Squeeze)\nOn their sophomore release, The\nWorld is Too Much With Us, Vancouver's Peace vault the turnstile with\nbarn-burner opener \"Your Hand in\nMine,\" launching a truly riveting and\non-target record. Their momentum\ndoesn't slow a for a moment on this,\ntheir Suicide Squeeze debut, proving\nthey will be a tough act to follow for\nthe foreseeable future, In fact, these\nunassuming lads seem poised to prevail and destined to conquer, as one\nof the more creative and consuming\nbands to come out of Vancouver's\nsizeable punk\/new wave scene.\nWhile Peace may wield familiar\npost-punk musical tropes (high-\nenergy introspection, fist-pumping\nangst, angular rhythms, and fluid\nleads), who's to say that the familiar\ncan't be refreshing? -\nSinger and lead songwriter\nDan Geddes' sing-speak snarls\nand charmingly off-key vocals may\nread like Mark E. Smith of die Fall\n(minus the douchebag disdain), but\nthe strident melodies, especially on\ntracks like \"Fun and Games\" and\n\"Winterhouse,\" deal exclusively in\nexuberance and wonder. The rest of\nPeace's line-up is rock-solid, too.\nGeoff Dembicki's drums rattle with\nfeverish intensity, anchoring tracks\nlike \"Free Time\" into a window-rattling tribal march, evenly matched\nby bassist Connor Mayer's full-toned\nfervour and Michael Willock' s ringing\nguitar. They've got all their proverbial j\nbases covered, ensuring no infirmity\nand destined to bring about buzz.\nDrawing mosdy from art-damaged   i\npost-punk, Peace doesn't squander a ! single minute, raising a sophisticated\nsong cycle free of leftovers. There are\nmoments, sure, where Joy Division's\nautumnal, angst-ridden pull seems\nmost apparent, particularly on\n\"Black Cocaine\" and album closer,\n\"Tattoo,\" but such influences only\nadd to the band's literate impulses\nand affectations.\nGeddes proves to be a natural\nraconteur, cerebral and suitable, as\nin the SoftBoys-esque \"Kissed Dust,\"\nwhich proves him to be lyrically lean,\na la Robyn Hitchcock.\nThe crazy-quilt emotionalism and\npassion on display here is indicative\nof a band of prominence. Even on a\nperfunctory listen, The World is Too\nMuch With Us assays a certain symmetry and a relevance most bands\nlack. Rest assured, Peace will prevail\nin our time.\n\u2014Shane Scott-Travis\nCHRISTOPHER SMITH\n(Boompa)\nIn Christopher Smith's newest album,\nEarning Keep, blatant biblical references exist without agenda. The plight\nof Adam and Eve, Samson's holy journey, and even the great dichotomy of I\nheaven and hell, all hold within their\npiety valuable fables for the secular\nhuman experience. Indeed, Smith's\npcetic lyrics draw upon the authority of religious imagery to empower\nordinary human life and crown its j\ntrials extraordinary. Earning Keep is\nit's own earthly scripture.\nEach of the 14 songs on the album  I\nexist in a wake of sorrowful content j\nand instrumentation. Earning Keep  \u25a0\namounts to a melodic cathedral, with\nSmith's vocals as smooth and varied\nas stained glass. Among the songs\nexists one basic division: some are\nSmith's brief and private laments,\nand others swarm and surround the\nlistener, demanding their inclusion.\nThe title track belongs in that first\ngroup, using just Smith's voice and\na simple piano riff to decry lost love.\n\"Old Testament Violence,\" \"Young\nCurmudgeon,\" and \"Knives and\nSickles\" follow the same formula,\nwhile the shortest track on the album\n(40 seconds long), \"Chapped Lips\nof the Mouth Breather\" is wholly\ninstrumental; a sparse chiming\nhum, colliding with a guitar riff and\ncollaborating on impact. It sounds\nlike an unnoticed moment, and in\nits own way seems equally personal\nand pensive.\nThe second group of songs are\nSmith's mightiest, and of those,\nthree stand tall. \"Pillars and Pyre,\"\nthe album's single, imagines mortal\nstruggle in spiritual context, with\nSmith's voice a virtuous suggestion\nof the human condition. \"No Light\nCould Pass Through Me So I Have a\nShadow\" is cleverly decorated\nin symbolism, beginning with\nSmith's christening voice and\nthe confident steps of a drumbeat walking closely behind. As\nthe song unfolds, lines of lyrics\nare echoed by backing vocals,\nand like shadows shortening\nwith the moving sun, these\nwords seem to grow closer to the\nvoice that they are derived from.\n\"Pins on a Line\" begins like a\nbreeze. Cymbals rattle and the drumsticks fall down like hollow wood,\nlightas the firstwords, \"Wandering,\nwandering.\" The power in this song\ncomes from Smith's ability to achieve\ndelicate moments of instrumental and\nvocal partnering and then expanding\nand complicating that partnership\nwith perfect transition. And as the\nchorus cries, \"We need a light \/ we\nneed a light,\" something very human\nseems divine.\n\u2014Alex de Boer\n..

I was on\ntime for the second band, the jangly\nand spirited Love Cuts, who sound\nlike Cub reincarnate.\nAfter a brief introduction by\nTaz VanRassel and Ryan Beil of the\nSunday Service, Weed launched into\nthe third set. Will Anderson (lead\nvocals\/guitar) switched impressively\nfrom mumbling to hollering as the\nband churned out fuzzy, grungy guitar pop. Schticky stoner-rap gang Too\nHigh Crew followed, appropriately\nenough at 4:20 p.m. on the dot.\nAmped-up, shorts-tearing surf-\npunk outfit Korean Gut played afterward. Incidentally, at the beginningjOf\nKorean Guf s set, band leader Jarrett\nEvan Samson expressed his intention to rip off his cut-offs, sweaty and\nunwashed from a previous show, but\nwas stopped by shame at his parents\nseeing their 28-year-old son \"naked\nonstage.\"\nPost-punk revivalists Mode\nModerne put on a decent set, albeit\none that wouldn't seem out of place\nat the first Victory Square Block Party;\ngarage-country rockers Indian Wars'\nslow-burning, twangy ramshackle set\nwas better received by the audience.\nAll that paled in comparison to the\nsoulful Ballantynes, who closed the\nshow. Every final act at Victory Square\nin recent years has drawn dancing\ncrowds to the front of the stage, and\nthe Ballantynes were no exception.\nMaybe it's their pedigree that does it,\nas Jarrod \"SlimRoy\" O'Dell of DJ duo\nEast Van Soul Club also plays in the\nband. At any rate, soul tunes between\nsets\u2014courtesy of Soul Club's other\nhalf, Jonny \"Was\" Grayston\u2014and the\nBallantynes playing last, made for a\nperfectly fitting end to the day, and to\nsummer 2012.\n\u2014Chris Yee\nHIERARCHIES\/\nSECRET PYRAMID \/\nTHE PASSENGER\/\nIAN WILLIAM CRAIG\nSeptember 8 \u2022 NouuelleNouuelle\nAsk me two months ago, and I would\nhave told you the drone scene in Vancouver was nearly non-existent. Fast\nforward to an early Saturday in September, and there's been a noticeable\ntrend to accommodate the quieter\nside of experimental musicians in the\ncity's underground community. And,\nif shows like the one that took place at\nNouvelle Nouvelle are any indication,\n12-minute textural epics have a warm\nplace to stay.\nArranged on the rough wood floor\nof the tiny Gastown clothing shop,\nIan William Craig and an assortment\nof reel-to-reels and tape decks gave\nthe room a \"dad's-old-hifi\" feel, even\nthough Craig's music is anything\nbut antiquated. Combining operatic\nvocal soaring, 8-bit synth pads, and\na whole bunch of tape-based loops\nand echoes, the set burst from the\nquiet click of a tape reel tracking into\na sonorous valley of sound. When\nCraig wasn't working on trying to\nwrangle his ancient equipment, his\nentire body worked to achieve falsetto\ncries and rich textures, though most\nof the words were lost in a sea of delay\nand looped noise.\nThe Passenger, a lone soul\nin headphones who set up shop\nbehind analog synthesizers, held a\nmuch darker control over the room\nwith heavy, toneless bass drones\nlaying the foundation for the occasional chirping melody. Compared\nto Craig's stage presence, the Passenger was a thoroughly anti-social\naffair, which only added to the\nappeal of closing one's eyes and\nbreathing to the click of the synth-\nscapes. A little bit Music For Airports\n(of Brian Eno's Ambient series) a\nlittle bit improv synth-orchestra,\nthe set was very different from the\ntunes featured on his LP, |_|.\nWhen Amir Abbey, the one-man\narmy behind Secret Pyramid, started\nhis set behind a reel-to-reel and a sample pad, I was totally pleased to bask\nin the modulating, heavily textural\nsounds he was producing hunched\nover the table. What started out as\na meticulously ambient soundscape\nescalated into a beautiful symphony\nof hashed noises and audio clips, but things grew exceptional when Abbey\nmoved over and picked up a guitar.\nRich, undulating power-chord waves\ntook the bass drone and flew into a\ndeep crescendo; individual notes and\nchords melted together like a dozen\npost-rock songs played at once, and\nthe come-down, as Abbey moved back\nto his sampler to end, felt like a warm\nbath after a hard day.\nI'm notashamed to admitto falling\nasleep halfway through Hierarchies'\nset. This isn't a criticism of the\nsynth-drone duo of Colin Jones and\nJ.P. Doucet who deeply impressed\nwith several stands of gear and an\nalmost hardcore approach to ambient music. Synth pads were atmospheric, but stuck to a recognizable\npattern, and subtle hooks and riffs\nappeared over the course of the set\nthat gave Hierarchies a distinct and\nbeautiful structure. While not necessarily \"happy\" soundscapes, when I\npassed out in the middle of the wall of\nsound itwas to be enveloped by calm\ndaydreams and positive vibes. When\nI regained consciousness, it was to\nsee Doucet head-banging to the invisible beat from behind his synths and\ngrinning maniacally. The whole room\nechoed his sentiment, and when their\nset came to its inevitable conclusion,\nitwas to an audience basking in good\nvibrations.\n\u2014Fraser Dobbs\nGRASS WIDOW\/\nKOREAN GUT\/YUNG MUMS\nSeptember 11 \u2022 The Biltmore\nTuesday night at the Biltmore\nbegan like an old Western: at 9\np.m., the venue was a ghost town,\nsaloon-style tables empty, and cans\nof $4 Cariboo untouched. The\nwoman running the door was\nunsure what time the first band\nwould start \"Nine, 10, whenever.\"\nShe yawned, then apologized.\nSlowly but surely, though, a crowd\nfiltered in\u2014by 10:30 p.m., it was\nbusy enough for Vancouver's Yung\nMums to begin. The all-girl three-\npiece launched into a peppery, punky\nset, almost rousing enough for the\nweekday crowd to exchange their beer\nfor Jim Beam. Lead vocalist Amelia\nSmith relayed tales of breakups and\nscoring pot over quick, grimy chords.\nThe venue played up the ghost-town\nvibe by setting a smoke machine on\noverload \u2014 drummer Mandi got the\nworst of it, complaining of dried-up\ncontacts\u2014but if the band's lyrics are\nto be believed, it was nothing a stiff\ndrink couldn't fix.\nNext up were local surf\/garage\nrock outfit Korean Gut. Singer-\nguitarist Jarrett Evan Samson began\nwith a nod to \"Vancouver, the city we\nlive in... unless you're visiting to do\nthe Grouse Grind.\" While there were\nno Lululemon sweatpants in sight,\nthe four-piece still got the audience\nto break a sweat. As they tore into\n\"Gingold,\" dancing, shaking, and\neven a thrash or two were attempted.\nThe spotlight beamed off the tuning keys of Tom Whalen's bass as\nthough he was wielding some kind\nof thunderous lightsaber. As their set\ndrew to a close, Samson ruminated\non the pitfalls of punk rock: he'd\nthrown his eyeglasses to the floor,\nonly to worry they'd get crushed.\nWhen an audience member slurred,\n\"Someone step on 'em!\" Samson said\nindignantly, \"What are you, a bully?\"\nKorean Gut, newfound inspiration for\nnerds worldwide.\nAfter a short break, San\nFrancisco's Grass Widow took the\nstage. Again an all-female three-\npiece, they showcased haunting, layered harmonies and intricate guitar\nwork. The crowd, so energetic before,\nfell into a sort of spellbound hush as\nthe eerie, spacey \"Goldilocks Zone\"\nechoed through the half-full room.\nThe band employed little distortion or\nreverb; their jangling guitars and raw\nvocals were refreshingly unedited.\nWhile Grass Widow were somewhat\nself-contained on stage compared\nto the prior two bands, they added\na layer of complexity and mystery to\nthe lineup\u2014though still with a punk\nflair. Guitarist Raven Mahon bid the\naudience adieu shortly after midnight,\nand the crowd quietly dispersed with\nthe last swirls of the fog machine,\nempty beer cans scattering the floor\nlike tumbleweeds.\n\u2014Sarah Christina Brown\nFUCKED UP\/WHITE LUNG\nSeptember 15 \u2022 Fortune Sound Club\nBy this point, everyone in Vancouver\nshould be familiar with White Lung,\nwhose recently released sophomore\nalbum Sorry isn't really apologizing\nfor anything. They were a logical\nopener for Fucked Up at Fortune\nSound Club on a crazy Saturday night,\nafter playing the same bill the day\nbefore for Rifflandia in Victoria.\nThe band didn't seem to be any\nthe worse for wear after their island\nadventure, and blazed through a\npretty quick, extremely well-mixed,\nset Itwas a real pleasure to hear Mish\nWay's yowling lyrics so clearly over\nthe din of lazily chaotic lead guitar\nriffs, especially when you could hear\nher vocal chords tearing on tracks\nlike \"Bag.\" While Way was the centre of attention, guitarist Kenneth\nWilliam deserved credit for turning\nevery chance for pre-song banter\ninto a psychedelic noisy six-string\npreamble.\nIt's hard to start a review of\nFucked Up's epic live performance\nwithout first talking about charismatic singer Damian Abraham. Their\npoetic hardcore album The Chemistry\nOf Common Life might be the reason\nthe band won 2009's Polaris Prize,\nbut Abraham and his positive energy\nare the reasons Fucked Up continue\nto bring out audiences that normally\nwouldn't find themselves at a hardcore show.\nFrom the anthemic introduction to \"Queen Of Hearts\" onwards,\nAbraham walked the beat all around\nFortune, shaking hands, hugging\nfans, crushing beer cans, and wrapping the mic cable around himself and\neverything else in the club. Between\nsongs he talked passionately about\nthe concepts of self-beauty, and how\nVancouver just might be his favourite\ncity (sorry, Toronto!).\nThe beautiful thing about Fucked\nUp, though, is that an excited front-\nman isn't the only card in their deck.\nTheir performance leaned heavily on\nlastyear's concept masterpiece David\nComes To Life, and the group have an\ningrained musicality that raced neck-\nand-neck with Abraham for the attention of the crowd.\nConsidering that Fucked Up juggle three guitars along with standard\nbass and drum duties, it's amazing\nthat their set had the clarity it did,\nstringing intricate psychedelic guitar\nwah into power-chord breakdowns\nand particularly beautiful vocal\nharmonies.\nA late-set rendition of \"The Other\nShoe\" had the entire crowd shouting\nout the chorus with Abraham urging\nthem on. It's a powerful moment in\nmusic when 300 people are screaming, \"Dying on the inside!\" while\noutwardly grinning and jumping\naround.\n\u2014Fraser Dobbs\nUJHHQI\nSept 13-16 \u2022 the Centre jbr Digital Media\nSEPTEMBER 14\nArt can be very, very fun. Especially\nwhen it's presented in a warehouse\nrave. That's the message I carried\nhome from the twelfth installation\nofVancouver's New Forms Festival's\nmeticulously curated selection of electronic music and audiovisual installations by artists from Vancouver and\nthe internet-connected world. The\nfestival challenged, and sometimes\nstrongly disoriented, all the senses\nof its guests with a variety of forms.\nBased in the cavernous hangar of the\nCentre for Digital Media, this year's\nfestival fit well amidst the industriality\nof Great Northern Way.\nWith cultish headlining acts such\nas Actress and Kodeg, the organizers aimed for quality over popularity,\nwhich drew a crowd well-immersed\nin the type of culture that was\nshowcased.\nStarting the night in the Hangar\nwas Vancouver's own Cloudface.\nAt home in front of his arsenal of\nsynthesizers and drum machines,\nhe orchestrated a minimal set of\nmusic that stayed within the bounds\nof house and techno, while banking\non the warmth of analog synthesized\nsound that gave birth to the genres in\nthe first place. The subtle and slowly\nmoving progressions in his compositions didn't make the audience go\nwild, but were perfect for a laid-back\nswaying crowd to soak in the otherworldly environment Next door was the smaller, eatART-curated space\nwhich featured interactive visual\nprojections, where I ventured in to\ncatch a glimpse of Pilooski, a French\nproducer playing a groove-heavy set\nof something electro and funky.\nI wish I could have stayed longer\nin the more intimate setting, but\nthe sensation that you're missing\nsomething important happening\nnearby (which happened a lot during the whole weekend) beckoned\nme back to the main stage where\nActress was already unloading his\ncatalogue. Building grooves out of\nsamples stretched and deformed into\na very different place altogether, the\nLondon-based producer felt raw and\ndifferent. He showcased a range of\nversatility, from spawning dreamy\nBoards of Canada-reminiscent\nsoundscapes to building a compelling\nhouse track out of the bare minimum\nof elements. With the ten-ton bassline\nof \"Maze\" stuck in my head for most\nof the next day, this was one set that\nwill be hard to forget\nShifting the night into a Detroit-\nhouse direction was Legowelt, playing hard hitting lo-fi compositions\nthat came together in his studio\nin the Netherlands. By the time DJ\nStingray 313 began his set around\n2:30 a.m. I was spent. With a glimpse\nof the dark and uptempo place the\nmusic was headed, I would have\ngladly stayed if I had the energy,\nwhich the pretty sizeable crowd that\nstayed till the 4 a.m. end clearly did.\n\u2014Christian Voveris\nSEPTEMBER 15\nIt's easy to argue that London has\nbeen a mecca for electronic music\nproducers from around the world,\nat least in the past decade. But in our\ndigital jet age, artists can pack entire\nset-ups into their carry-on luggage,\nand play gigs on other continents,\norganized entirely on the web. Now\nin its twelfth installment New Forms\nFestival in Vancouver\u2014about as far\nfrom London as you can get\u2014has\nbecome an example of globalization\nat its finest. On the third night at the\nCentre for Digital Media, a variety of\ninternational and local talent created\na dynamic atmosphere that only grew\ndenser as it lasted into the morning\nhours.\nThe night kicked off with the\nsoundscapes of Chambers, whose\nself-described \"minimal dub\" helped\nto set the mood for the night. The\nVancouver-based duo played drawn\nout sub-laden beats to a steadily filling room\u2014a great choice for the job,\nas people sat on the floor and settled\nin, giving the Hangar a distinctly\nunderground vibe.\nBy the time Kangding Ray came\non stage, anyone still sitting was\nquickly put on their feet by his enormously heavy, no-nonsense IDM.\nAround midnight, the Berlin-based\nFrenchman's dark, shuffling drum\npatterns were replaced by the lush\nbeats of Sinjin Hawke's live set\nCurrently based in Barcelona, the\nMontreal native doesn't disguise his\nhip-hop roots and influences, and\nplayed a very energetic set in the total\nabsence of a laptop.\nHailing from Northern France,\nCanblaster followed up with a variety of heady club bangers, giving the\ncrowd a much-needed dose of four-\non-the-floor. The night then took\na quick breather with Berlin-based\nKuedo, whose unique blend of elec-\ntronica combined sparse, but driving\nbeats with warm pads and embracing\nsynth patterns.\nKodeo, undeniably the main\nattraction of the night, came to the\nstage around 3 a.m. and the crowd\nwas ready. He sported a Hyperdub tee,\nreminding everyone that they were\nin the presence of the legendary UK\nlabel's owner. His set was nothing\nless than would be expected from a\nfounding father of the multi-faceted\nglobal phenomenon known as dub-\nstep. Floating effortlessly between\nstyles and BPMs (even dropping a\njuked-out remix of Lil Wayne's \"A\nMilli,\" much to the crowd's delight),\nKodeg finished the night off masterfully and could have easily kept the\ndance floor going well past dawn.\nUnfortunately that didn't happen,\nbut like a true veteran he hung around\noutside the door, talking to fans and\ngenerally being a friendly dude. This\nwent on until people finally started\nmaking their way home, full of good\nmemories and anticipation for the\nfestival's fourth and final day.\n\u2014Daniel Lins\nJULIE DOIRON\/TWIN RIVER\nOLIO FESTIVAL 2012\nSept 21 \u2022 Biltmore Cabaret\nA burning blue-gray dusk descends,\nautumnal darkness dips, and recent\nmemories of mild, cloudless skies\ndissolve. But for fair-weather fans of\nindie symphony, the Biltmore Cabaret\non the second night of Olio Festival,\na radiant reprieve for summer's last\nday was graciously given.\nDue to an ill-starred power outage, the night's docket was delayed\nsome, sending part of the rabble elsewhere for Oho offerings. Too bad,\nbecause when Vancouver's organic\ncountry-rock outfit, Twin River,\ntook the stage just after midnight\nthe crowd was meagre, returning at\nonly a slow trickle.\nUndeterred, Twin River,' usually a five-piece, tonight playing as\nfour for a laid-back yet confident\nbucolic bypass. Theirs was a tenacious, full-flavoured set that often\nturned the Friday night into a\nSunday afternoon. Lead singer\nCourtney Ewan's sweetly soft\nsinging and perma-smile was\ninfectious and her harmonies\nwith Andy Bishop (who shared\nlead on a few tracks) made up\nfor any lost time.\nWhen the ever-amiable and\novertly adorable Julie Doiron took\nthe spotlight much of the crowd\nhad returned, though alcohol had\nmade many restless, righteous,\nand rude. This has always been\nmy bugbear with late shows; the\nbooze turning the riff raff into\nglib jackasses. But I digress.\nJulie Doiron seldom disappoints live and while her shortened setiist didn't contain too\nthan previously realized in her solo\ncanon. This elated burst was followed\nhotly by a ditty from Doiron's Broken\nGirl days, \"So Fast,\" which carried\nthe grit and birr I first encountered\nwhen Eric's Trip rocked my teenage\nworld religiously.\nDoiron showed that she can still,\nshred for a number or two, and high-\nfived her band between songs, and\nalso previewed \"By the Lake\" from the\nforthcomingXP, So Many Days.\nAs always, Doiron's fascination\nand banter hoisted the show into the\nfirmament brought down only when\nshe said goodbye to the band and\nclosed the night on her own, nearly\nbeing drowned out by the inebriated\nimbeciles who couldn't stop with the\nslurs and the jabber. Doiron was gracious and forgiving, making light of\nthe dull roar and playing every request\nher now strident fans suggested.\nClosing with the one-two punch of\n\"The Songwriter\" and \"Glad to be\nAlive,\" she hit the bull's eye and no\nloquacious louts could dim the joy\nand the jewel that is Julie Doiron.\n\u2014Shane Scott-Travis\nmany surprises, she played with\njoyful upbeat abandon. Ably\nbacked by a drummer and bassist (not the Wrong Guys, collaborators on recent seven-inch\nrelease Heartbeats\/Swan Pond)\nthe threesome tore into \"Swan\nPond,\" making this staple of\nhers a more rumbling rocker\nHome of\nVancouver's\nMusic Directories\nBANDS MUSICIANS RESOURCES\nCOMMUNITY\nDRIVEN\nMUSIC\nLISTINGS Nightheat, The Rio Theatre & The Georgia Straight Present\nAn Evening with\nBebef Gilbert\u00ae\nTUES OCT 2\n8 pm\nRIO THEATRE 1660 E.

This month, meet host\nof The Saturday Edge: Staffordshire, England, trans-\nplantee and folk fanatic, Steve Edge. Now in his\n27th year on the air, Edge continues to bring the\nsweet sounds of African, Latin, Celtic, and Cajun\nroots music to your ears from around the globe,\nevery Saturday morning. Discorder sat down with\nthe Edge himself to talk about where he began,\nand where the Edge is headed.\nWhat music did you grow up listening to?\nRadio Luxembourg, which used to come on at eight\nat night; it was all classical and French language\nstuff. At eight they would play rock 'n' roll, and\nBBC wasn't touching that. We used to have all\nthese radio sets at home. At school was just the\nbeginning of Beatle Mania, and it felt like there\nwas something exciting going on, and I got into\nthat early. The British Invasion they call it here.\nThere were a lot of kids at school that were really\ninto that, and music became really big. We had this\nEnglish teacher that was a guitar player, and he\nformed this - very *6os, what they called a \"coffee\nset\" in the classroom, and anyone else who was\nthere could join in. It was great. He got me into\nit. I got into endless arguments with him about\nBob Dylan.\nWas there a single artist that you\nwere really drawn to?\nIt would probably be the Stones\nif itwas anybody, because they\nwere pretty outrageous. I did like\nthe Beatles, but there was something that was just ruder about\nthe Stones.\nWhat gave you the idea to start\nthe Saturday Edge?\nI moved here in '81.1 got away\nfrom England, I was involved\nwith a whole bunch of political things over there.\nThatcher had just become PM and it was very\nrough. I applied for Canadian immigration, and\nsomeone here had offered me a job and I could\nbring all my records over with me. So then I was\namazed how many heap records I could buy [here].\nCiTR started putting together their top playlists\naround then, and we weren't on FM yet, and I\nthought it looked really interesting. And when it\nlaunched on FM, itwas 19831 think, and that got\nme into it That was in the early days of Discorder,\nand one of the things that was advertised in there\nwas if you were interested in being a DJ, they'd\ntrain you. But the station manager said that they\ndidn't have any openings unless I wanted to do\nthe folk show. Well I thought that was a bit of a\nstretch for me. I didn't know anything about folk\nmusic. But within about a month of that, I came\nacross a whole bunch of people from the sort of\nfolk and roots scene at the Railway Club, and I\nused to hang out at the Railway Club after work\nback when I had a proper job downtown. I came\nacross Spirit of the West at that club. They were\nopening for Barney Bental years ago, and Jeff Kelly\nbecame a good friend. And I was thinking well, I\ncould probably make a folk show out of this, and\nI talked to Jeff and he lent me a bunch of records\nand I went from there.\nIf you could pick one era for folk music, what\nwould you say is the most prominent?\nI think at the moment there's a lot more creativity,\na lot more bands. It's easier to play. Folk kind of\nexperienced a big revival and people realized it\nwas a hell of a lot cheaper being a folk artist than\nanything else because you didn't need amplifiers,\nyou just needed a sting instrument, or you could\nget a jug band going. So what happened in the\n'50s and the '60s was happening again in the '90s\nand the early parts of the noughties. In the early\nnineties... the Irish bands used to get subsidised\nby the government so there would be a load of\nIrish bands coming over. So that really got the live\nmusic scene happening. Itwas great.\nIf you could pick one album that resonates the\nmost with you, what would it be?\nI think to narrow down is really, really hard, but\nLa Bottine Souriante, from Quebec, they played\ntraditional Quebec music for years, and then they\nadded a horn section and all of a sudden became a\nswing band that played Haitian-influenced music.\nTheir live album is incredible - very, very powerful.\nIt's an n-piece band now. It used to be 10, but they\nadded a dancer.\nWhat is your favourite CiTR show, other than\nyour own?\nI kind of like listening to Linda Bull, doing [Give\n'em the Boot], because she plays Italian music, and\nit crosses into what to play. I like Gavin Walker's\nvoice. It's great; it's not like a radio show it's like\ngoing to his house and having a few drinks and\nlistening to what's going on. And I was a big fan of\nGeorge Barrett in those days, when he was doing\nthe Rockers Show. The exciting thing with CiTR is\nthat there's so much variety. The sad thing is that\nyou listen to something that you really like and\nthen it's gone.\nWhat does the future of the Saturday Edge hold?\nThe whole future of radio is very topical right now\nbecause everyone has their own ways to listen to\nmusic, so who the hell listens to the radio when\nyou've got your own. Fortunately there's still a\ngroup of people who listen to the radio. It's a lot\neasier being a passive listener if you're driving\nmore and you don't have to think about what you\nwant to listen to next So I really don't know where\nit's going -1 can't see myself not doing this. I'll\nkeep doing my thing; I'll have a good time.\nThe Saturday Edge airs every Saturday jrom a a.m.\nto 12 p.m. CiTR 101.9 FM CHARTS\nSTRICTLY THE DOPEST HITZ OF SEPTEMBER\n #\n ARTIST\nALBUM\nLABEL\n#\nARTIST\nALBUM\nLABEL\nmm\nFine Times*+\nFine Times\nLight Organ\n26\nShout Out Out\nOut Out*\nSpanish Moss and\nTotal Loss\nNormals Welcome\n2\nNii Sensae*+\nSundowning\nSuicide Squeeze\n27\nHannah Georgas*\nHannah Georgas\nDine Alone\n\/a\nPurity Ring*\nShrines\nLast Gang\n28\nCityreal and Wes\nMackey*+\nGood Morning Blues\nSelf-Released\n4\nGang Signs*+\nGang Signs\nSelf-Released\n29\nFergus & Geronimo\nFunky Was The State\nOf Affairs\nHardly Art\n5\nTyranahorse*+\nGarbage Bears\nSelf-Released\n30\nMantrakid\nDragon Lullabies\nNeferiu\n'\u25a0< \u25a0$*\nAnimal Collective\nCentipede Hz\nDomino\n31\nNeedles\/\/Pins*+\nGetting On Home b\/w\nPicture My Face\nLa Ti Da\n';  V'\nJayArner*+\nBad Friend b\/w Black\nHorse\nSelf-Released\n32\nNo Sinner*+\nBoo Hoo Hoo\nFirst Love\n8\nThe Cyrillic\nTypewriter*+\nFrench Door\nJaz\n33\nSpell*+\nLull\nSelf-Released\n9\nV.
