Many years, I've taken in the entire 13\nhours of music, from site opening to closing. This year, however, I stepped back to experience\nthe 3 Oth annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival (VFMF) as a casual audience member.\nI missed Friday evening's mainstage, but heard good reports about Bhangra Authentic.\nInclusion of the South Asian community in this festival is a better late than never development.\n-.Saturday, I arrived on site at a civilized 2 p.m. While I waited for my guest, I caught the end of\na very good workshop with Oh Susanna, Old Man Luedecke, the Carolina Chocolate Drops and\nSam Parton of the Be Good Tanyas. The Chocolate Drops blew everyone off that stage with\ntheir blues and Appalachian numbers.\nMy music aficionado friend arrived; not particularly enamored of folkies or folk music, she\nmanaged to keep her anti-hippie rants to a minimum. First stop was a shady stage 3 to watch\nGeoff Muldaur, an older, white blues dude with some good stories about the old days. What to\nsee next? I compared texts with a music writer acquaintance of mine who was wandering about.\nUtah Phillips (wash your beard, dude)? Ganga Giri (didgeridoo alert)? The Carolina Chocolate\nDrops were nearby, so we enjoyed one of the best hours of music that whole weekend.\nAfter a gruelling 20-rninute portapotty line, we crossed the festival site to catch Jim Byrnes\nand his band. A tasty horn section, and Simon Kendall on keys, filled out his sound nicely. As\nthe first band started on the mainstage, we hightailed it to the CD tent and then the food village.\nThumbs up to the new fish taco vendors!\nBack to our blanket for the Jamaica to Toronto project. Their old school R&B was very slick\nand entertaining, and enhanced by the new video screen at stage right. The Wailin' Jennys also\nput on a good set. We gave Toumani Diabate a chance, but perhaps all our years living near the\nDrive have put us off Afrobeat-^even the great stuff. Early night brought us an excruciating\nbus trip downtown with drunk Irish students.\nSunday marked the final 'Birkenstock 500', but I couldn't be arsed to get up that early; it will\nbe interesting to see what eventually replaces that mass run. I also missed a reportedly fabulous\ngospel workshop with Jim Byrnes and the Sojourners. I did get to see Jesse Zubot collaborating\nwith Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq; it was as freaky in the best way, as one might imagine.\nMy guests (niece and nephew, ages 5 and 8) arrived. After a walkabout, we plunked ourselves\nin front of stage 2, where Geoff Berner, Bitch and the Exciting Conclusion, and Hawksley\nWorkman were holding court in a rambunctious manner. My niece leaned over to inform\nme, in a worried tone, that, \"that guy (Hawksley Workman).is kinda crazy.\" We caught other\nperformances in passing, but most of the afternoon was spent keeping the wee ones fed and\nentertained in the kids' area.\nAfter my brother picked up his offspring, it was time for the big ones to be fed and\nentertained. Since VFMF has steadfastly refused to provide an adult beverage area, we headed\nto the Jericho Sailing Club. There, the increased business crashed their computers. We went.\nback to the mainstage in time for Sarah-Jane Morris, who had greatly impressed at her first\nVFMF appearance a few years ago. I loved her \"I Put All My Money on a Horse Named Janis\nJoplin,\" about losing a high-profile movie role. The Collaboratory, a band consisting of East Van\ntypes, was better than I'd expected. Theirs was a slick production, avoiding most of the hokey\nfolk cliches. Unfortunately, their high-tech setup and slightly long set threatened to cause a late\nstart for the Be Good Tanyas.\nAfter a painfully long turnover, the Be Goods took the stage and started what was turning\ninto a good set\u00E2\u0080\u0094only to be cut off after about 20 minutes. \"Um, this is kinda lame,\" Frazey Ford\npointed out. An awkward transition into the traditional 'let's all hold hands' finale was a sorry\nending to an otherwise fine evening.\nThe festival posted an apology of sorts on their website, citing curfew constraints: \"We didn't\nwant to do it, but had no choice.\" I beg to differ. It was already past 11:00 when they chose\nto go ahead with the old-and-tired finale. Lame indeed. Festival organizers had to be aware\nof extenuating factors (notoriously slow band to sound check, CBC recording for national\nbroadcast, complex stage setup), so suck it up, guys. Sorry.\nThirty is often a tricky birthday to traverse, and Folk Fest is doing its best to keep up. Ah, the\nblessed absence (at last!) of the birthday and 'Dude, where's my party?' announcements\u00E2\u0080\u0094hell,\neven the raffle prizes were better. Including more well-known acts would've been great, but it's\nclear that this Fest, at age 30, is finally getting serious about fiscal responsibility.\nThe folkies still put on a great party, limitecLmeans or not, and VFMF is stiU-a relevant and\nimportant part of Vancouver's cultural landscape. Good luck on the creep towards middle age!\nVal Cormier hosts Folk Oasis Wednesday evenings, 8-10 p.m., on CiTR 101.9 FM. t. by\nROBIN McCONNELL\nLooking back at the volumes of work that Renee\nFrench has created over the last 15 years shows\nan artist who has realfy stepped into her stride.\nShe has created some of the most original comic work\naround by balancing the genre lines between fine art,\nchildren's books and disturbing comix. When one\ncompares differences between her books, one finds\nthat each takes on a completely different style and\nfeeling. The unifying factor of French's work is that it\nboth disturbs and delights. Top Shelf has put out three\nbooks by French that each play on their own separate\nstrengths, playing with storytelling in a meticulous\nstyle. The Soap Lady, The Ticking and Micrographica are\nsure to please both adult and child alike.\nThe Soap Lady came out in 2001 as a charming\ngraphic album that would fit in any kid's bookshelf,\nnext to Where the Wild Things Are and other excellent\nexamples of youthful literature. Illustrated in'\nexquisitely penciled pointillism, The Soap Lady is the\ntale of a young boy meeting an odd, almost grotesque,\nbony creature made of soap. It's a story based around\nthe innocent relationship between the young boy\nand the Soap Lady, and the trials and tribulations\nthat they go through in their odd friendship. Things\neventually degrade, as other people in the young\nboy's life discover the Soap Lady and chase her out\nof town, back into the sea from where she came. The\nSoap Lady works as a children's book because of the\nintricate work that French puts into the art and the\nstory- Instead of trying to do an educational story,\nmeant to teach something, The Soap Lady is just a fun\nstory with incredible art that will suck in any reader.\nThe Ticking is French's most impressive piece\nof work by far. It comes in a beautifully designed\nhardcover by the uber-talented Jordan Crane. The\nTicking further explores the theme of childhood. But\nin this book, it's the tale of a father and son, both with\ndeformed appearances. While the father is unhappy\nwith the way they look, the son doesn't see a problem\nwith his disfigurement and enjoys the blissful naivete\nof youth. French's strength in The Ticking is the way\nin which she shows the beauty within the grotesque.\nLooking at the delicate pencil-work of French sucks\nyou into a sad, beautiful world. One of the things I find\nmost astonishing about her work is that she draws in\nthe same scale as her work is printed. Most work this\nfinite and detailed is done at a much larger scale, then\nshrunk down. Her art shows the exceptional work such\na refined talent can produce. Another great aspect of\nThe Ticking is the indication that French seems to be\nready to take her work to the next level. The Ticking is\na career benchmark that most cartoonists can only\nhope to achieve at some point.\nIn comparing French's early, more crude work\nin Grit Bath, and her illustration work for Dennis\nEichhorn's Real Stuff, you can see that she is a\ncompletely different artist now. While her work\nalready had the great aspect of being strong and\nrough and dirty in all the right places, her latest work\nshows an incredible attention to detail. It's as though\nshe has created perfectly-contained stories that don't\nneed any touch-ups or altering; instead, French has\ncovered every last detail. Many of today's great comix,\nwill feature a lovely Renee French spread. One of my\nfavorites is in the Fantagraphics smut anthology, Dirty\nStories. In that piece, French creates an odd, silent six-\npanel arc that features a watermelon-looking thing\nentering what looks like folds in flesh. French leaves\nmuch to the imagination, making the story all the\nmore disturbing.\nHer latest work is almost a step back for her,\nfocusing on bold lines and telling a more youthful,\nifaftJL 4\u00C2\u00A3Li dm JU&jLa *\nr-\nless disturbing story. Micrographica, published by\nTop Shelf Comix, French's mainstay publisher, is as\nclose she will ever get to publishing a pocket book.\nMeasuring around the size of a hand, Micrographica\nis a mini journey into the land of a group of little\nrodents and their prized ball of poop. Personally, I love\nstories with poop. Poop is funny on so many levels and\nnot used nearly as often as it should be. Micrographica\nfocuses on the friendships of her filthy protagonists\nand the struggles of a day in their lives. It is a simple\nand wonderful story that you can read over and over.\nEven though Micrographica is done in a simpler style,\nFrench has still designed her book to look awesome.\nThe pages are on this weird pseudo newsprint that\ngives the book a good, pulpy feeling. And don't forget\nthe bonus drawings of crap in the back, by some of\nthe finest artists in the field, including a Jim Woodring\nrendition.\nFrench is one of those creators whose work is so\nodd, and filled with such a great sense of humor, that\nI wish I could hang out with her, and get into that\nodd mind that creates such pieces of wonderment.\nInstead, French spends a good amount of her time\nin Australia, sitting by the sea, working on her next\nbook that will keep me sucked in and wanting more\nas soon as I am done with it ft 6\nHEY\n*=L-&X Youft i\u00C2\u00ABAt>\nBV STEVESTON MflcE\nStevesrcm Mfce hosts F/ex Your\nHead TUesday evenings, 6-8 p.m.,\nbringing you the best in current\nand classic punk and hardcore on\nCiTR 101.9 FM.\n6 Auaust2007\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2WfT'>l\u00C2\u00BBIT\u00C2\u00AB$> Sticks\n^W^M\nHAJI\nSorry to skip out on ya last month, folks. It's been busy around my neck of the woods lately. I plan to\nmake it up to you, though, and this month's batch of goodies will definitely strike a match under yer\nbutt to get out and find these gems.\nFirst off, a band we told you about last time out. Thee Makeout Party, graced me with their newest\n' slab. It's hot off the press and into my hands, and it follows the same sickly sweet formula as their\nlast. \"2 EZ 2 LUV U\" is a Bay City Rollers homage, reworked and refined for the modern age with its\npseudo-falsetto vocals and bouncy backbeat. \"Hedberg Boogie\" starts off innocently enough with a\nMerseybeat-style intro then strays into \"extended jam\" territory as things continue\u00E2\u0080\u0094but before you\ncan lift the needle, it quickly reverts back to its origins and ends on a humourous note. Apparently an\nalbum is in the works, but in order to satisfy your bubblegum cravings now, chew on this and hope the\nflavour doesn't go stale. (Burger Records, 1370S. Sanderson Anaheim CA 92806)\nOne band that has created renewed flavour for their fans is Vancouver's power-pop princes the Pointed\nSticks. Back on the scene after a 25-year (what they call) hiatus, they graced Vancouver with a show\nback in January and will do so again this month to celebrate the release of their newly-minted single.\n\"My Japanese Fan\" tells the story of their sojourn to the Far East and how they fell in love with the\npeople they thought had forgotten about them. There's also a clever double-entendre lyric in \"looking\nfor Shelter down in Tokyo,\" a reference to a club in the capital city and the romantic point of interest\nfor our protagonist \"Found Another Boy\" takes musical cues from Joe Jackson's \"Is She Really Going\nOut With Him?\" and early Squeeze to form a mid-tempo ballad akin to their early days classic \"The\nReal Thing.\" For longtime fans, this is a must-Jiave for their collection. For the new and curious, this\nis worth a listen and might inspire you to catch them when they hit the the Red Room stage Saturday,\nAug. 25. (SuddenDeath Records, Cascades POBox #43001 Burnaby, B.C. V5G 3H0 Canada)\nIn researching the band Good Shoes, I came across the track \"Morden\" from their debut LP, Think\nBefore You Speak. It takes an ironic tone in a quirky look at their hometown. Described as \"not the\nsort of place you want to take your kids to,\" you wonder what still makes them, so chipper in such a\nlackadaisical sort of way. If Maximo Park had more cheek and the Libertines didn't suffer from a coke-\naddled image, you would have this foppish foursome. An EP was released before the record made it my\nway, and I dig the crackin' (that's the new \"wicked,\" BTW) tunes on display here, too: chirpy guitar,\ncrisp drum work and soul-bearing storytelling are the order of the day for these guys, so you may want\nto take a gander. (Brille Records, www.brilIerecords.com)\nFinally, an unearthed treasure makes its way to wax courtesy of two hard-working music fanatics\nin New York. Before the quasi-legendary psych group Love hit the scene in Los Angeles, circa '66.\nlead singer and mastermind, Arthur Lee, dabbled in R&B and soul (documented on an EP recently\nreleased by Munster Records) while trying to find his muse. His collaboration with guitarist and longtime friend Johnny Echols produged his first foray into the tripped-out world of Electric Prunes and the\nSeeds-styled music, with the formation of the American Four. Not happy with that moniker, they then\nsettled on the Grass Roots. Because there was another group already in possession of the name, some\nof the tracks Lee and Echols recorded (along with the rhythm section that would go on to become Love)\nnever saw the light of day until just last year. \"Stay Away\" has a cool folk-punk vibe with its handclap-\nhappy verses and manic guitar break. The flip \"You I'll Be Following\" showcases a jangly pop tune that\ncites more of a Byrds influence than the pysch edge trie group is known for. This being said, another\nwinner from the folks at Norton in their quest to uncover lost legends and give them their due\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\nnecessary purchase, to be sure. (Norton Records, Box 646 Cooper Station NY, NY 102 76 USA)\nBack with more musical mayhem next month! It)\nSeeing as how this is my first column. 1 thought I would take some\n\" time to introduce myself. My name is Steveston Mike, and I host Flex\nYour Head on Tuesday nights from 6 p.m. until 8 pm. on CiTR. Flex\n'Your Head is a radio show that focuses on punk and hardcore music.\nI got the name Steveston Mike about eight or. nine years ago. At the\ntune, there were a lot of Mikes' in the scene, and to make it easier,\nfor people to tell us apart, some people started adding \"Steveston\"\nin front of my name (Steveston is a little area in Richmond where\nI grew up).\nI first got into punk when I was 14 years old. I can still remember\nriding home from school on the bus and a guy sitting across from\nme asked if I had ever heard of Suicidal Tendencies. I said no, so he\nloaned me his tape. The first thing 1 heard was a song about this guy\ntalking about seeing his friend's dead mommy and how much he\nliked it. I had never heard such outrageous tyrics: I was booked. To\nthis day, Suicidal Tendencies are stiU one of my favourite hands.\nI can also remember the first time I heard Flex Your Head. I was\nworking as a delivery driver, and one day, I was searching the radio\nfor something different to listen to. I tuned in to QTR and they were\nplaying some heavy band I'd never heard before. Again, I was hooked.\nThe band turned out to be Biohazard, and 1 immediately went out\nand found the album in some record store. That was back in 1991,\nand Eric Flexyourhead was the host of the show. Ilistened to the rest\nof that show and made sure to tune in every week for he next 16\nyears. During, those years, I became friends with Eric, and from time\nto rime, he would ask me to come in and hang out with him at the\nstudio while he did the show. We always had a fun time.\nJust over a year ago, he called me up and asked if I would be\ninterested in taking over for him. My first reaction was he's pulling\nmy leg. Even after he finally convinced pie he was serious. I was still\nshocked that he would ask me to fill his shoes. Over the years, he has\nintroduced me to some amazing bands that 1 would probably never\nhave heard of if it hadn't been for his show. However, once his offer\nsank in, it didn't take long for me to jump at the opportunity. Over tlie\nnext eight or nine months. I trained with him every Tuesday to learn\nhow to use the equipment and become a DJ. It wasn't all work though:\nwe had a lot of fun hanging out and playing some good music. Then\none day, Eric decided that it was time for him to step down alter 18\nyears of .hosting Flex Your Head. He gave me one week's notice to\nprepare, and then he threw me to the airwaves by myself.\nFor the past six months, I have tried to maintain the high standards\nthat Brie set I have done my best to keep to the same format that he\nhad for all those years, while slowly introducing my own musical\ntastes to the listeners. I only hope that one day I can be the guy that\nsome young kid out there is listening to, excited about a band that he\nmay have never heard of if it weren't for Flex Your Head.\nMore Hey, DJ! on page 18...\nTop Ten for July 2007\n1.

From\nthe Kinetoscope to the television, each new format\nhas brought with it a new set of social concerns and\nreactions. The. power and pleasure of voyeurism is\nbrilliantly exposed and explored in Hitchcock's film,\nRear Window. The protagonist, L.B. Jeffries, is an every\nman who happens to be incapacitated with a broken\nleg. Confined to a wheelchair in his apartment, he\ntakes to peering into his neighbours' windows (and\nlives) through his binoculars. Hobby turns to all-\nconsuming obsession as Jeffries transforms himself into\na seemingly omniscient observer, seeing and knowing\nall about everyone. The emergence of the enormously\npopular cyber community, Facebook, has bred millions\n(over 30 million to be exact) of voyeurs similar to Mr.\nJeffries by essentially creating an online apartment\nbuflding in which everyone's blinds are alwa^re open.\nTheprogramwascreatedin2004withtheintention\nof providing a network that would connect college\nstudents. In its early stages, Facebook was unique to\nstudents at Harvard, the alma mater of creator Mark\nZuckerberg. It then loosened its girdle to include all Ivy\nLeague schools and, later, to include almost all colleges\nand universities. Next, it became available to high\nschool students. Facebook is now so broadly available\nthat basically anyone can join, as there are a variety\nandg\ncity\nof networks that have nothing to do with school (for\nexample, geographical regions).\nTo a generation raised on instant messaging and\nemail, at first glance, Facebook doesn't appear to be\nanything revolutionary, but it is. Like Jeffries, Facebook\nusers\u00E2\u0080\u0094most of who are university students\u00E2\u0080\u0094have\nallowed the program to become a central priority in\ntheir lives. Only instead of being incapacitated by a\nbroken leg, the majority of students are incapacitated\nby their own boredom. Facilitated by on-campus\nwireless Internet, students browse profiles during\nlectures, in between classes or as a substitute for\nstudying in library.\nHowever, the most important distinction between\nJeffries and Facebook users is that, while Jeffries\nremained an anonymous voyeur, Facebook users are\nwell aware that they are simultaneously watching\nand being watched. This has given rise to the twin\nobsessions of looking at others, as well as presenting\noneself. Personal profiles have evolved to become a\ntype of self-advertisement. It has come to the point\nwhere the goal of an evening out is to take a profile-\nworthy photo. '\u00E2\u0096\u00A03z\u00C2\u00A3&\\nThe photo component of Facebook has proved to\nbe its winning and most addictive feature. Facebook\nphotos inform others what everyone has been doing\nand where they have been doing it. With the exception\nof a few albums documenting exotic travels, the\nmajority of photos depict inebriated, red-faced and\nsquinty-eyed college students, smiling overzealously\nand holding an alcoholic substance of some kind in\none\u00E2\u0080\u0094or both\u00E2\u0080\u0094hands. One would think that after\nlooking at two or three essentially identical albums,\npeople would get bored. On the contrary, this photo-\nstalking is like an addictive drug that induces a high\nfrom the false sense of omniscience that Facebook\ngrants users.\nWhat Jeffries learns at the end of Rear Window is that\nthere is no such thing as true human omniscience\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\nlesson that would perhaps help many Facebook users\nbreak their addictions. If Stella, Jeffries's maid, thought\nthat the world had grown into a bunch of \"peeping\nToms\" back in the '50s, I can only imagine what kind\nof bitter phrase she would use to describe us now. it\nHollywood wants you to believe that unauthorized downloading is worse than bank robbery.\nIn June, a delegation of powerful industry representatives and lobbyists appeared on Capitol Hill\nin Washington to talk about a major problem facing the world. In a speech by Rick Cotton, general\ncounsel for NBC/Universal, he set the stakes:\n\"Our law enforcement resources are seriously misaligned. If you add up all the various kinds of\nproperty crimes in this country, everything from theft, to fraud, to burglary, bank-robbing\u00E2\u0080\u0094all of\nit\u00E2\u0080\u0094it costs the country $ 16 billion a year. But intellectual property crime runs to hundreds of billions\n[of dollars] a year.\"\nCotton hopes that U.S. law enforcement will shift its focus, concentrating on intellectual property\ncrime rather than other forms of property crime. The reasoning seems pretty clear: since intellectual\nproperty crime costs the economy at least 13 times as much money, intellectual property crime should\nbe treatedfar more seriously.\nUrifortunately for Cotton, there are two key problems with his argument. First, the numbers he\npresents are uncertain, if not complete fabrications. Secondly, and more disturbingly, he shows a total\ndisregard for the very human nature of crimes against real property and the social ills that come with\nthem. ia^af\nLet's look at the numbers first. The figure of \"hundreds of billions\" is not exactly precise in itself.\nAre we talking close to a trillion, or closer to two hundred billion? There's no word on what makes up\nthis kind of crime. Are we talking about kids downloading Mims's \"This Is Why I'm Hot,\" organized\ncriminal cartels selling bootlegged DVDs or Cuba refusing to recognize U.S. drug patents? The figures\nthrown out by the movie and music industries never come close to hundreds of billions. The biggest\nnumber the movie industry has offered comes closer to $6 billion\u00E2\u0080\u0094soil large, but nowhere near the\n\"hundreds of billions\" territory. What else is included to pad the losses?\nAnother issue is exactly how losses are calculated. If people aren't going to see Fantastic Four\n2, is that because they don't care about the Silver Surfer or because they downloaded it? If no one at\nall went to see it, would the loss be the amount the movie cost to make, or the amount they expected\nto profit? Even if you could count up the number of people who download a film or album, you\ncan't show that they didn't buy it later on or would have bought it if the album wasn't available to\nbe pirated, Understanding all these complex factors requires a detailed analysis\u00E2\u0080\u0094one that I doubt\nindustry lawyers and beancounters bothered to carry out.\nThe numbers problem becomes especially clear in the Canadian context. Recently, the Canadian\nRecording Industry Association (CRIA) announced what it called an unprecedented decrease in sales\u00E2\u0080\u0094\ndown 35 per cent from the previous year. Graham Henderson, the president of the association, said\nit was a wake-up call to the federal government. He said these numbers made it clear that something\nneeds to be done to-end piracy in Canada. But Michael Geist, a copyright lawyer at the University of\nOttawa, has pointed out that in April 2006, several Canadian record labels, including Vancouver's\nNettwerk, left the association; therefore, the association had less product to sell. Of course their\nnumbers went downl Geist suggests that if sales of the six absconding labels are taken into account,\nCRIA might actually show growth for the 2006-2007 year, rather than the 35 per cent loss.\nHere's a challenge to Cotton's crew and other industry puppets: break down these \"hundreds\nof billions\" for us, so we can see exactly where the losses are corning from, and then show us the\nmethodology you used to come up with those figures.\nFor now, however, let's do something Copyfightl rarely does\u00E2\u0080\u0094let's give the industry groups the\nbenefit of the doubt concerning how much money intellectual property crimes realfy do cost them.\nDoes this mean that intellectual property crime really should receive more law enforcement attention\nthan traditional property crimes?\nCOPY-n\nGREG\nMcMULLEN\nLawyers tend to put dollar signs on everything. This makes for great\njokes about greedy lawyers, but there's a good reason for it. If 50 CDs are\nstolen from a store, you can figure out what those CDs were worth and\nitemize the damage done. The owner might not get the CDs back, but\ntheir insurance can shell out the dollar value and put such victims back\nin roughly the same place they were before the crime.\nBut what if someone breaks into your house and steals the same\n50 CDs? You've lost the same dollar value as the store, but you've lost\nsomething more important: your sense of security and safety in your\nhome. Even if your insurance pays to replace the missing collection, it's\nimpossible to put a dollar value on the safety that should come when\nyou lock your apartment door. The law is great at calculating tangible\nlosses, but this kind of loss falls through the cracks. This doesn't mate it\nless important, though.\nHowever, this is about more than copyright and intellectual property.\nIt's about our safety and security when we're at home or walking down\nthe street. Cotton is suggesting that these violent, invasive crimes are less\nimportant than infringement on intellectual property, simply because it's\neasier to put an inflated price tag on intellectual property crime. Cotton\nwants fewer cops investigating bank robberies and break-and-enters so\nthey can spend their time looking for movie bootleggers. This is more\nthan stupid; it's dangerous. Cotton and his ilk have to be stopped, and\neven if they succeed in influencing the guys on Capitol Hill, they must\nnever be allowed to do the same in Ottawa.\nCopyfight! Update:\nBack in the Jancember issue of Discorder last year, I wrote about how copying music\nfrom a CD you bought to your iPod was illegal, thanks to strangeness at the Copyright Board\nof Canada. The board has not been sitting still. They've looked at the original decision and\noverturned it. They plan to bring in a small tax on the purchase of iPods that will allow for\nprivate copying. If you've paid the levy, you'll be able to legally copy music to your iPod or\nother MP3 players, f)\nDiscorder 7\nO IBiMMSS\nore than words\nVANCOUVER'S #1 NKBflCtUB\nWEEKENDS\nAT THE PLAZA\nMJfANNER\n..SELLS OUT in .\nVancouver id\nSUP jacki\nHow does a Hhm about a typeface self out in a day-and-a-half?\nThe Vancouver premiere of Helvetica, screening Aug. 7 only at the Empire Granville\n7 Cinemas, sold out in the first 48 hours of tickets first going on sale. The documentary explores the ubiquity of the popular sans-serif typeface and its cultural influence\non graphic design. Like times New Roman's cooler nephew, Helvetica has become a\nhousehold font, widely used in public spaces and mass media. Surely Courier never\ngarnered this much fame.\nDirector/producer Gary Hustwit is the producer of five other documentaries, amdng\nthem Wilco's / Am Trying to Break Your Heart and Death Cab for Cutie's tour diary,\nDrive Well, Sleep Carefully. Helvetica premiered at the 2007 South by Southwest\nmusic festival, and the B.C. chapter of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada\n(GDC) helped bring the screening to Vancouver.\n\"When we originally started to book it, we were looking [at] a small scale [screening], but as the film started premiering across the states, we realized it was becoming\na much bigger, more popular film than we expected,\" says Cory Ripley, GDC events\nchair. \"We had a lot of [GDC] members ask for the film,\" says Cory. \"TheYe's a little\nbit more to it than just a film about a typeface. It really talks about how Helvetica is in\neverybody's lives.\"\nThe Helvetica typeface celebrates its 50th birthday this year. \"How did a typeface\ndrawn by a little-known Swiss designer in 1957 become one of the most popular\nways for us to communicate our words, 50 years later?\" asks Hustwit. Douglas Coupland and Jim Rimmer will weigh in at the Vancouver screening as guest speakers.\nCoupland, a writer and visual artist, is known for authoring Generation X, Microserfs,\nand works of non-fiction. \"He uses Helvetica in most of his books,\" says Ripley. \"Most\npeople don't realize his background is graphic design.\"\nRimmer is a celebrated typographer, lithographer, illustrator, and designer, and is\nconsidered a Canadian hero in the graphic design industry. He has worked in all\naspects of the industry, including traditional metal type-casting methods. \"He's been\ninvolved with [design] for 50 years,\" says Ripley. \"He's an artist and a tradesman.\"\nIn the event that extra tickets become available for the currently sold-out Vancouver\nscreening of Helvetica, the GQC has created a ticket waiting list for eager patrons at\nhttp://bc.gdc.net/helveticafilm.

La banda original del\nRey salio al escenario mientras que 3 pantallas\ngigantes proyectaban a Elvis Presley cantando\nen diferentes epocas de su carrera, unas en el\nconcierto de Hawaii, otras cuando ya estaba\nmas regordete, segun la epoca de la cancion. En\nun momento del concierto el Rey dijo \"Me han\nestado viendo durante toda la noche, ahora qui-\nero saber como se ven ustedes\" e iluminaron al\ngentio que estallo en una explosion de gritos y\naplausos. ris\u00C2\u00A7i\u00C2\u00A3\u00C2\u00A3\nEste concepto no es nuevo y en realidad\nno fiie tan bueno como el de la Princesa Leia\nque era proyectada a traves de R2D2 mientras\ndecia \"Ayudame Obi Wan Kenobi, eres mi unica\nElvis no salio al escenario convertido en un\nholograma 3D como la Princesa Leia, sino que en pantallas gigantes, rompiendo asi el record mundial de asistencia\nen un eoncierto virtual y se podran imaginar un escenario\ncon banda pern sin cantante.\nElvis, El Rey, aquel bianco que' cantaba como negro\ny movia las caderas como reumatico se convirtio en una\nleyenda cantando canciones que jamas escribio, asi que lo\nunico que decia, era, en consecuencia, dicho por otros: En\nel eoncierto, la realidad alcanzo nuevos limites: un cantante que no existe dijo, durante dos haras, palabras que\nno eran suyas.\n.Que tanto se puede confiar en las palabras del Rey\nvirtual?; poco, exactamente lo mismo que en las palabras\nde cualquier otro que no es famoso pero que sigue vivo y\nque tendria que pasar un milagro para que sea apodado\n'el rey.' Muchas veces se habla de una cosa para decfr otea;\nlas palabras funcionan para decir, en la misma medida que\nfuncionan para no decir, porque son dichas, o no dichas\nDecir sin haber dicho. Voto par Laura Cuello\npor personas que andan haciendo, frente a uno o frente a\notro lo mismo que hizo Elvis con los que asistieron al tour\nmundial, decir palabras, sin decirlas.\nHace unos anos lei un libro originalmente intitulado\nDoce Cuentos Peregrinos del maestro Garcia Marquez, en\nuno de los cuentos, llamado La Bella Durmiente, el Gabo\nhace referenda a otro libro del escritor japones Yasunari\nKawabata en el cual se describe un ritual rarisimo donde\nlos viejos japoneses frecuentaban un prostibulo donde las\nputas, que aun no Uegaban a la edad legal, estaban dor-\nmidas, sedadas bajo una ppcima magica y jamas interac-\ntuaban con el cliente. No las podian tocar, despertar y ni\nsiquiera lo intentaban. El rito consistia en recostarse junto\na la puta que estaba desnuda en la misma cama mientras\nella dormia, contemplarla durante horas y llenarse de su\neriergia, pasado un tiempo el viejo tomaba una pastilla\nque era propiamente colocada debajo de la almohada para\nque, a su vez, el viejo fuera drogado y cayera dormido. A la\nmanana siguiente el viejo despertaba solo en su cama con\nun dolor de cabeza como si le hubieran dado una\npaliza. En otras palabras, la puta habia hecho su\ntrabajo sin decir una sola palabra, estando, prac-\nticamente, en la misma cama en forma virtual\nsin darse cuenta siquiera que sin haber dicho dijo\ntantas cosas.\nY asi como en el caso de Elvis Presley, que\nhablo desde ultratumba, nos podemos dar cuenta\nque en realidad no importa de donde vienen las\npalabras que son dichas, o no dichas, para que\ntengan un efecto, ya sea este a una multitud\nenajenada por un Rey virtual o a un viejo rabo\nverde que paga por robarle los suenos a una puta\ndormida.\nPorque habra veces que no es necesario decir\nuna sola palabra para decirlo todo, pero eso jio es\nlo importante, lo que verdaderamente importa es\nque quien escucha (o en este caso lee) esas palabras haga de elias Io que tenga que hacer.\nBEY\n1\nw ors\n^\no j\nI\nm\nU\nHHfe;\n3/\nIT'S MY\nNORTHERN\nWISH: MY\nLIFE AT THE\nCANADIAN WAY\nby Spike\nSpike hosts The Canadian Way Friday\nevenings, 6-7:30pm., bringing you new\nand not-so-new independent Canadian\nmusic, from all genres, on CiTR 101S\nFirst off, I'd like to introduce myself and my show for\nthose who are unfamiliar. I am Spike and have been doing\ncampus radio since 1994, when I started my original rock\nand punk show, Spike's Musical Pins and Needles Show, at\nthe University of Victoria's CFUV. I came to CiTR in 1998,\nwhere I continued that show until 1999, when I switched / to r. The Canadian Way's host, Spike, with Tim Chan of local\nmy format to independent Canadian music (\"indieCan,\" in band China Syndrome on the fitly 27 show.\nThe Canadian Way's lexicon), noting that CiTR was lacking\nCanadian representation. The new show was called The Northern Wish. In 2003,1 retired\nthat name and the ornate Rheostatics theme songs, and it became The Canadian Way.\nThe Canadian Way's eponymous theme song, by Winnipeg's Guy Smiley, is about the\nJets leaving Manitoba for Arizona and how the U.S. has always managed to screw Canada over. I thought the song\nencapsulated perfectly what I feel is The Canadian Way's indieCan ethic: hyping our independent Canadian music scene\nin order to promote and protect it.\nFans of The Canadian Way will know that this summer has been chock full of in-studio and call-in guests. In\nthe last couple of months, I have featured interviews with\nthe Pack, Lightning Dust, Go Ghetto Tiger, Carolyn Mark,\nShapes and Sizes, the Hits, and China Syndrome. But that's\nnot all you can expect from CiTR's flagship indieCan show.\nOn the August 24 edition of the show, I will be chatting\nwith Marc Morrissette of Octoberman about, and play tunes\nfrom, the band's brand new album, Run From Safety. I also,\nhope to have in Caleb Stull of Parlour Steps to talk about\ntheir new album, Ambiguoso, and their recent tour. Stull also\nwon a big songwriting competition recently, so we'll find out\nmore about that, too.\nIf you want to find out more about what's going on in\nthe world of The Canadian Way, check out the show's web\npage at: myspace.com/canadianway.\nAnyone wanting to request indieCan music, or give me feedback, can email The\nCanadian Way at: thecanadianway@popslar.com.\nCheers, and keep it Canadian!\nUNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER\nMysterious Body\n[Independent]\nOn initial listens, Azeda\nBooth's Mysterious- Body comes\nacross like the Icelandic bastard\nchild of electronica, fathered by\nWarp Records and birthed (appropriately enough) by some\namalgamation of the band Mum.\nBut this band doesn't reside\nwithin the Arctic Circle nor are\nthey signed to a dance label from\nthe U.K. Azeda Booth are from\nCalgary, and despite the obvious\ninfluences, this new EP delivers a\nfresh blend of material and a new,\ndeveloping sound.\nOf the disc's five tracks, three\nare instrumental and placed\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 symmetrically at the beginning,\nmiddle and end of the recording.\nDiscorder 18\nAll three contain warm synths reverberating against tinkling percussive beats. Jumbling away in\nthe background, these clanking\nrhythms sound like the work of\nderanged birds set loose on a collection of half-empty milk bottles\nor the hollow clatter of a heap of\nwooden blocks being thrown down\nthe stairs. Significantly though,\nnone of these instrumental tracks\ncreate a sense of dissonance by\nputting melody in complete conflict with the percussion like some\nof Autechre's- more discordant\nnumbers, for example, with their\nloose tool-kit-in-the-washing-ma-\nchine modulation. The first track\nwith vocals, \"Landscape (With\nGrass),\" builds with chiming guitar patterns and a fragile falsetto\nand is the most traditional song\non the EP. The second song with\nvocals, \"Dead Girls,\" is glitchy,\nkeyboard driven, and throbs over\nand underneath the same fragile\nfalsetto that sounds female but is\nin fact male.\nAs diverse as these songs\nmay be to one another, the mix\nof styles on Mysterious Body is refreshing. The arrangements and\nexperimentation have enough\ncharm and intricacy to surpass\nthe more pedestrian constraints\nof imitation. At times, the band\nmay sound like the conjoined\namalgamation of their influences,\nbut for the most part, this release\nshows the potential for something\nunique and exciting.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Christian Martius\nAndorra ?^'|f^\n[Merge]\nDan Snaith, formerly known\nas Manitoba and now as Caribou,\nhas developed his sound with\neach and every album. From the\ndroney, ambiant electronics of\nStart Breaking My Heart to the\ntrip-hop experimental beats and\nrhythms of The Milk of Human\nKindness, you can never be sure\nwhat to expect from a Snaith album. Andorra is no exception and\nis perhaps the sharpest break from\nprevious work yet.\nAndorra is a move away\nfrom the production-driven electro psychedelia Snaith's produced\nin the past. With this album, he's\nfocused more on melodic '60s-\ninspired psychedelic pop\u00E2\u0080\u0094an\nunholy union of Beach Boys and\nBoards of Canada. Lyrics play\na much greater role in this new\noffering, with almost every song\nunveiling its own mysterious and\nromantic narrative to accompany\nthe soundscape. The first single,\n\"Melody Day,\" opens the album\nby launching recklessly into a\nlovestruck verse, and Snaith\ndoesn't look back once. The entire\nalbum is full of unapologetic romanticism. While this could easily be unbearably sappy, the deep,\nlush instrumentais allow you to\nbecome lost in the sentiment.\nThis album is bound to disappoint some of his fans, but Snaith\ndoesn't seem to be worried about\nthat. \"I really worked hard on editing things as much as possible,\nkinda cramming in as much into\nas short a space in time as pos- UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER REVIEW UNDER\nsible, leaving no flab on the track.\nSo if it's on there, I want you to\nhear it,\" he says, and he's right.\nEvery single note is full of beauty.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Greg McMullen\nBusiness Up Front/Party in the\nBack\n[Maverick/Goatee Records]\n\"Ugly people put your hands\ndown\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094such delightful examples\nof sass-mouth are repeatedly\ndished out by the Family Force 5\non their album Business Up Front/\nParty in the Back. But before you\ncan evaluate the commentary in\nthis review, watch the band play.\nThere's a certain je ne sais quoi\nabout a skinny, Caucasian hipster\nfrom Georgia rapping in a pink T-\n, shirt and purple pants that simply\ncan't be expressed through recorded sound or written word.\nBusiness Up Front/Party in the\nBack is a collection of 15 songs by\nFamily Force 5, which mixes elements of hip-hop and synth-rock\nin an exaggerated but undeniably\ninfectious way. The band proves\nthat somewhat cliche instrumentation and lyrics can be done\nin a clever fashion, especially\nwhen paired with xylophone and\nspeak-and-spell sound bytes. The\nalbum pokes fun at the upbeat-\nmusic-with-angry-lyrics notion\nthat makes traditional rap-rock so\nunbearable. Family Force 5 knows\ntheir music is over the top, but\nthat's the point.\nThis album requires you to\ntake a leap of faith. To make the\nplunge less intimidating, start\nthe album on Track 5, \"Put Ur\nHands Up,\" and work your way\nback around. Jumping right\nin at \"Cadillac Phunque\" and\n\"Kountry Gentleman\" may be\ntoo much of an initial shock, especially with lyrics like \"You're\njust another redneck from back in\nthe woods/Not a country gentleman that can bring the goods.\"\nA huge part of Family Force 5's\nappeal comes when the album is\nput in its proper context. Just like\nhow their live set was a welcome\ncontrast to a somewhat repetitive\nWarped Tour lineup, Business Up\nFront/Party in the Back will cast\nthe same magic on your iPod. The\npower of this album is not fully\nrealized until it is sandwiched between the wishy-washy stylings\nof Falco and Feist. Trust me. Leslie\ndon't rap like this. .\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Danielle R\nThe Sun\n[Temporary Residence]\nTouted as the first Fridge\nalbum in nearly six years, The\nSun marks the return of Kieran\nHebden (Four Tet) and Adem\nIlhan (Adem) to their original\nlaunch-site band. Since Fridge's\nlast record (2001's Happiness),\nboth artists have had success\nindividually or in participation\nWith high-profile figures, such as\nRadiohead, Steve Reid ancLDavid\nByrne; and this new release can't\nhelp but be marred by the burden\nand consequence of these separate triumphs. Rather than being\nan inspired continuation of previous endeavours, The Sun works\nin showcasing fresh techniques,\ncompetence gained elsewhere and\na six-year absence of participation\nthat seems to have removed the\nalchemy of the band dynamic. '\nMuch of what has been\nproduced mimics what has been\nabsorbed in the time between the\ntwo aforementioned Fridge albums. The imaginative patterns\nof percussion aren't so dissimilar\nfrom the instrumental tinkering\nfound-on Kieran Hebden's work\nwith Steve Reid, and the folk ambience of tracks like \"Our Place\nin This\" and \"Years and Years\nand Years\" does correspond to\nequivalent material by both Four\nTet and Adem. As singular songs,\nmost of the tracks are interesting\nas opposed to captivating, and for\nall presentation of ability, there is\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2nothing that galvanizes the album\ntogether as a whole. There may t\na residing krautrock influence in\nthe use of recurrent drum and\nguitar rhythms, but the jarring\noscillation between the sequencing of jazz-drum workouts and\nfolk atmospherics cause attempts\nat overall coherence to disintegrate.\nIf it wasn't for the baggage associated with this release, The Sun\ncould be mistaken as a ramshackle compilation of old B-sides, with\nno defining consistency and a\nlittle underwhelming. As a brand\nnew Fridge album, The Sun is too\ndisjointed to work as the great return of a lost band. The jumbled\nmess of content typifies the nature of this reformation, which\nseems to be based on celebrated\nsolo adventures and not the experience of shared creativity. For\nmembers of Fridge, collaboration\nseems to be about where they are\nand not about where they were,\nwhich would be admirable if the\nnotion was encompassed within\nthe band. 0;.^\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Christian Martius\nSuper Taranta!\n[Side One Dummy]\nGogol Bordello have always\npresented us with something different\u00E2\u0080\u0094maybe a little too different. So when they released their\nfifth album, Super Tarantal, what\ndo we expect? The best, of course.\nAnd as far as I'm concerned, they\ndelivered.\nTracks like \"Wonderlust\nKing\" and \"Your Country\", prove\nthat Gogol Bordello mean business, and that their passion for\nmusic is so strong that everything\nthey produce sounds good. Every\ntrack on Super Tarantal explodes\nwith essence and power. Even if\nyou can't understand what vocalist Eugene Hutz is saying, you feel\nthe force of every guitar riff and\nviolin solo. Super Tarantal has the\nchops to satisfy Gogol's cult-like\nfan base, while at the same time\nintriguing a whole new audience\nof fans who crave something\noriginal.\nGogol are infamous for breaking barriers by mixing genres like\npunk and Ukrainian folk to create their signature \"gypsy-punk\"\nstyle. This shines through more\nthan ever on this record, with\nsongs like \"Ultimate\" and \"Zina\nMarina\" showcasing the bands\nextreme skill and knowledge of\nmusic. Super Tarantal may not\nchange the world, but it. could\nvery well change you. Keep an\nopen mind. You never know what\ncould happen.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Meg Bourne\nJay Love Japan\n[Operation Unknown]\nWhat a piece of art. J Dilla's\nJay Love Japan is yet another example of the legacy this man\nleft behind. His beats scream the\nsound of a new hip-hop era\u00E2\u0080\u0094an\nera where sound is hitting with\nthe heavy force of pure soul.\nSure, it may sound like a bit of a\ncliche, but there is no other way\nto explain what J Dilla brought\nto the hip-hop arena. His work\nwas a part of a new generation of\nhip-hop music\u00E2\u0080\u0094one that resurrected and redefined the sound by\nbringing us beats with a bit more\nsoul at times and a bit more synth\nat others. With songs such as\n\"Yesterday\" and \"Believe in God,\"\nJay Love Japan shows us the soul.\nWhile other tracks like \"In the\nStreets\" and \"FirstTime\" offer us a\nsound described by Stones Throw\nfounder Peanut Butter Wolf as\n'80s industrial-goth stuff.\"\nYet Jay Love Japan, while fun\nand enlightening, is also a bit discouraging. Two of the tracks, \"Say\nIt\" (featuring Ta'Raach and Exile)\nand \"FirstTime\" (with Baatin and\nThe Ruckazoid), include disappointing rhymes by artists who\nlikely would have never worked\nwith Jay Dilla, doing little justice to the man behind the beat.\nThankfully, there is an instrumental version of \"Say It\" at the\nend of the album. And honestly,\nthese tracks would have been best\nleft as instrumentais because they\nstand stronger on their own. But\ndespite its disappointments, Jay\nLove Japan is a treat for the ears.\nUnfortunately, it may never hit\nthe shelves because of constant\ndelays in the release date. So if\nyou can't find it, download it. But\nyou didn't hear this from me.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 C.Carr\nOn the Move ^z\"\u00C2\u00A3\u00C2\u00A3qg$-_\r*t\u00C2\u00A7\n[Pias/Wall Of Sound]\nMy roommate brought this\nalum home a couple weeks ago\nand put it on the stereo. The first\nsong really grabbed my attention,\nbut then the record kept playing\nand I realized that it is by far the\nworst song on the album. It's a\nvery good song, but then hit hit hit\nhit hit. This is the best new band\nI've heard in two years. This is a\ncatchy fusion of punk-rock and\npower-pop, featuring girl-meeting\nand girl-losing songs that somehow come across as fresh. The\nharmonies are oldies-influenced\nwithout being campy. Both singing members have great voices.\nAnd the songwriting calls to mind\nthe better songs by early Elvis\nCostello and The Pointed Sticks.\nThe musicianship is equally\nI've listened to this straight\nthrough about onge a day for the\npast two weeks, and I'm not about\nto stop now. Buy it.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Justin Banal\nAmbiguoso\n[Scratch Records]\nThe fourthJull-length album\nfrom Vancouver natives Parlour\nStepsis a thoughtful, shifting drama, soon to be a favourite among\nfans of the Arcade Fire. Distributed\nby Scratch Records, but recorded\nand produced by members of the\nband, Ambiguoso showcases the\ngroup's musicality, as well as Caleb\nStull's excellent songwriting. The\nplay of Julie Bavalis's (bass) voice\nagainst the male vocals, as well\nas the heavy, elegant tone, give\nfor a sound reminiscent of Stars\nor A Northern Chorus. There are\nseveral standout tracks on the\nalbum, including \"The Garden,\"\na song like a child skipping in\ntoo-big shoes, shuffling and lilting. Also notable is \"Thieves of\nMemory,\" a swaggering, shadowy\nhorns-and-handclap tune.\nWhile some songs feel too\nlong and repetitive to hold an interest, most tracks are clean and\nwell developed. Stull's smart lyrics are another element that make\nthe record. \"An orgasm ain't success/However, feels close enough\nin tins cold weather,\" he sings\non \"There But For the Grace.\" \"A\nPagan and a Cook,\" a tango-esque\nbrooder that exits with a mini-accordion outro, is a fitting closer to\nan excellent album.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Amelia Butcher\nKingdom of Fear\n[fierce panda]\nA barrage of clean drums\nand anthemic vocals open Shit\nDisco's dance-floor disaster of a\ndisc. The ridiculous \"I know Kung\nFu\" line from The Matrix is sung\nand shouted repeatedly over the\nslowly building and shuffling\ntrack. It's good for a quick adrenaline rush and head shake, and\nthen I get quickly tired of it. I'm\ninto the rest of the disc, though,\nand it's still rock-disco\u00E2\u0080\u0094maybe\nlike a sped up, slightly rockier LCD\nSoundsystem. The lyrics, when\nyou read them on their own, are\nembarrassingly bad. When combined with the high intensity of\nthe music, however, everything\ngels nicely, and the distorted bass\nand lightning fast hi-hats become\ncompelling. The total effect is a bit\ncorny and lacks subtlety, although\nwith dance music, this isn't necessary a bad thing. I can see myself\ndancing to this at a show. Kingdom\nof Fear retains a punk sensibility,\nwhile taking on the fervor and\nsyjai&etic sounds of '80s dance\nmusic*-Shit Disco would be worth\nseeing live, but for full-length\ndance music albums,; there are\nmany great JanVlengtlis out there\nthat4his can't shake loose in their\nvie for shelf space.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Arthur K\nThese Ones are Bitter\n[Mendota Recording]\nQkay, so going solo can't\nbe fun. It's sort of a no-win.\nIf you sound at all like you did\nin your previous bands (in this\ncase. Screeching Weasel and The\nRiverdales), people wonder why\nyou bothered and say you've got\nno new nicks. If you try something new, people get mad that\nit doesn't sound like some record\nyou made 20 years ago (in this\ncase, Boogadaboogadaboogadal).\nThis record, however, is great.\nBen Weasel hired musicians who\ncan play stuff that many alumni\nof his band might have found\nchallenging, -and then wrote\nmore complex, carefully arranged\nsongs. Yes, it does sound more-or-\nless like Screeching Weasel without the comic relief. This is not a\nbad thing. Great lyrics, great music and better singing make this\ndigital-only release worth signing\nup for iTunes for.\n-Justin Banal Rial Ijvi Action! rial livi Action? rial Live Action!\nPESTROYER\n\u00C2\u00A3HRD \u00C2\u00A7JRR^RRLER\n(sled ?$LFinD gnusic ^ESTIURU\nJUNE 28\nGRACE PRESBYTERIAN\nCHURCH, CALGARY AB\nIt is contrived to immediately compare\na show in a church to a religious experience. There was, however, something truly\nmessianic about a heavily bearded Dan\nBejar. The way the crowd hung off of his\nevery word, the same way sweat dangled\noff of each and every person privy to the\nevent. Bejar, performing as Destroyer, said\nlittle but drew laughs and applause at every\nturn, and with every song. The spectators\nbehaved just about as politely as the building's usual patrons would. Bejar proved\nwhy, despite his enigmatic nature and spare\nlive performances, it is worth over-emphasized courtesy to behold his swirling songs.\nChad VanGaalen took the stage after\na Destroyer encore. Bejar joked that the\ncrowd was \"cheating themselves out of an\nintermission\" by wooing him back to the\nstage. VanGaalen's closing slot was likely\nmore about Bejar's aversion to live performances than the Calgarian's hometown\npopularity. He did produce an entertaining\nset that was lengthier than his predecessor's, but less captivating, even with his\nuse of a gallimaufry of instruments and\nmiscellaneous displays. VanGaalen drew\nlaughter in a more calculated'way, and his\non-stage banter and witty, playful lyrics\nflowed beautifully and whimsically. Both of\nthe night's main cogs shone in the organ-\nequipped room with majestic acoustics and\nreached the audience fantastically. Perhaps\neven on a spiritual level.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Pddraig Watson\ngiHE {pLBUm 2-ERF\nVRDER {JBYER\nJULY 4\nTHE PLAZA\nDenmark's Under Byen seem like an\ninteresting aural prospect when the eight\nmembers .of the band appear. Two drummers, a man With a cello and another with\na violin join a singer, keyboardist and a pair\nof guitarists to make the stage look a little\nsmaller. They play what sounds like Bjork\nfronting Sigur Ros playing \"Venus in Furs.\"\nSuch a categorization may be a little too\ngeneral for a band that swaps instruments\nor thumps the drums as if it's mimicking\nthe footsteps of heavy giants.\nHowever, the group's arrangements\nare one-dimensional in tone and the tempos are steady and dull. There isn't enough\nin the songs to divert the attention from\nsuch generalizations. The band may create an adequate mood, but after a handful\nof brooding songs that don't go anywhere\nbut onto the next brooding session, there\nis nothing to hold anyone's attention other .\nthan an accompanying yelping Voice.\nAt first, the Album Leaf gives a more\nspirited performance. Gorgeous melodies\nbuild to become pretty piano crescendos\nand continue to build, while added guitar\nand electronic adornments dress the sound\nDiscorder 20\nin a refined space. Most of the performance\nconsists of the enveloping resonance of the\nRhodes piano, as it echoes onward, constructing a collection of musical journeys,\nsome with vocals and some without.\nThe problem is, like Under Byen, the\nAlbum Leaf's songs create tonal repetitions\ninstead of contrasts. The rising waves of\ninterstellar electronics have no attributed\nmusical dissemination, or even a release\nthat isn't constrained by surge after surge\nof endless piano-led ascents. The band may\nenjoy its journeys, and by their blissed-out\neyes-half-closed mouth-ajar expressions on\nstage, it looks like it does. Unfortunately,\ndue to their lack of destination, the songs\nlose their instrumental radiance and end\nup meandering in a realm of missed opportunities.\nBy the end of the concert, one of the\nlong musical passages is disturbed by a 20-\nsecond squeal of welcome feedback before it\nreturns to wallow and wander in a domain\nthat by now has become tired and monotonous. This brief disturbance gives relief and\nhints at what is missing here in its most basic configuration. Interesting' soundscapes\nare constructed with engaging details, but\nthese realms are unable to develop\u00E2\u0080\u0094save\nthe odd screech of feedback\u00E2\u0080\u0094beyond the\nlimitations of their self-imposed form.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Christian Martius\n$3RRD OF fiORSES\nF pECERT ZpRimRL\nJULYl\nRICHARD'S ON RICHARDS\nAh, Canada Day, an event filled with\ndomestic beer, flag-waving, barbeques, smiling families and bearded South Carolinian\nrock bands with animalian names. On the\nlatest confederation celebration, Band of\nHorses graced the nation with their first\nVancouver show, and it was a good one.\nOpeners, and fellow South Carolinians,\nA Decent Animal, were an apt pairing for\nBOH and a pleasant surprise. On record,\ntheir lengthy passages of stylized, spaced-\nout Southern prog don't have much of\na payoff, but thankfully they were much\nmore impressive live. \"\nThe band could really play\u00E2\u0080\u0094particularly the bassist, whose unconventional\nchords and fretwork did the double duty\nof driving the songs and adding flourishes\nnormally augmented by lead guitar. A\nDecent Animal's comparability to BOH is\nperhaps limited to the wistful vocal delivery\nand shared geography. Their sound is more\nastral and nocturnal, their muse closer to\nPink Floyd than BOH's Neil Young leanings.\nAdmittedly, some songs needed focus, but\noverall, the performance was quite good.\nBand of Horses were just as surprising, exceeding expectations by some margin. They appeared late with beers in hand\nand ripped into what was purportedly the'\nopening track on their forthcoming record.\nIt was stellar, holding up to anything from\ntheir first album. The guitars were massive,\nas the band leaned into power chords and\nbashed out an impossible amount of reverb.\nMany reports of BOH shows have emphasized their restraint and delicacy, but none\nof that was evident here. Covering most of\nthe first record, as well as some Ron Wood\nand Otis Redding covers, this set was loud,\nbrash, passionate and ballsy.\nLead horse Ben Bridwell was quite\na sight as well: tall and gaunt, with his\nSeahawks ball cap and beard shrouding\nhis face, save for his squinty eyes. He led off\nwith a matter-of-fact \"Happy Canada Day,\nbitches\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094for which he would later apologize\u00E2\u0080\u0094but no offence was taken. He was\ncompelling, jovial and folksy, but not in a\ncontrived way. His voice was also in fine\nform, sounding as much like Perry Farrell\nas the oft-mentioned Jim James.\nTheir calling card, \"The Funeral,\" appeared about two-thirds through the set,\nand by the way they had been blasting out\nchoruses previously, everyone in the room\nknew they were going to absolutely unload\non it. And they did; the house lights went\nup and they buried it. And really, it was\nsuch bashed out anthems as this one that\nwere the highlights, not the more low-key\nmaterial.\nWhile many likely expected something\na little more intimate and introspective,\nwhat Band of Horses dished out was better.\nUtter dramatics and showmanship infused\ntheir yearning desperation with swagger,\neven a little danger. It was a great show.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Michael Podor- \u00E2\u0096\u00A0sl^wsljlf\n^HERRLURTER\nJune 24\nrichard's on richards\nThe night of June 24 got underway\nsluggishly at Richard's on Richards. By the\ntime Shearwater started setting up, there\nwere approximately 30 people in the audience, the room was cold, and the balcony\nremained closed off behind a phalanx of\nchairs and a bored bouncer. It seemed like\nwe were in for an evening of apathy.\nHowever, once the band got going,\nthings began to look up. The audience\nhad doubled, and it listened attentively as\nJonathan Meiburg sang the first song a ca-\npella. And from this unaccompanied piece,\nto the cover of Brian Eno's \"Baby's On Fire\"\nthat ended the performance, Shearwater\nplayed with not only power and control, but\nalso appeared to have a lot of fun. Although\nmy friend found it boring, I even liked it\nwhen they introduced the players halfway\nthrough the set (some of the band's only\n'banter')\u00E2\u0080\u0094a hint that we were at a gimmick-free concert, where artistry is allowed\nto carry the show. Complaining about the\nsmall crowd, or how no one was dancing,\nor the fact that Vancouver is no fun would\nbe hopelessly beside the point. This was the\nkind of performance that leaves recordings\nfeeling dull in comparison; the important\nthing was to listen.\nA few details were initially troubling,\nat least for my curmudgeonly self. Details\nsuch as too many poetic references to eyes\nin the recent songs (I guess that makes for\na motif). Meiburg's odd shifts into a vague\nCeltic accent and his glued-open glare. The\nwild-eyed tragedian act especially made\nme think I was going to be disappointed.\nI worried that this might turn out like the\nlast Mountain Goats show I attended: the\ndreaded, no-fun concert-as-religious-expe\nrience.\nYet, once you got used to Meiburg's\npossessed-prophet moments, they felt less\npretentious. Combined seamlessly with\nhis strength as a singer and the rest of\nShearwater's enthusiastic performance,\nthese moments contributed in their own\nway to making the evening as entertaining\nas it was.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 JoeHaigh\n$IHE {WHILE ^TRIPES\nDEER LAKE PARK\nJUNE 24\nNot only is Jack White a guitar god, he .\nis also a weather god-Sunday, June 24 was\na day that virtually had every weather condition, except for snow. Not only were the\nWhite Stripes playing at the scenic outdoor\nvenue of Deer Lake, but they were playing\nto a sold-out crowd.\nI awoke that morning to the sound of\nrain on my window and not the sound of\na summer sprinkler. As the day carried on,\nthe clouds continued to move in, bringing\nthunder, lightening, hail and more rain. I\nworried there would be mud fights and an\nicky ground. Magically, as the Stripes took\nto the stage, the sun came out. There was\nnot a cloud in the sky as the group appropriately opened with \"Dead Leaves and the\nDirty Ground.\" The crowd stood mesmerized by this god called Jack.\nHe belted out his raunchy, Zeppelin-\nstyle guitar playing from three amplifiers,\nwhich provided listeners with absolutely\nperfect sound. And as always, Jack was\naccompanied by Meg, who brought her\nsimple but perfect style of drumming to the\nStripes. Feet were stomping in the mud, and\nI truly believe that Jack and Meg were born\nto be on stage performing for the world.\nThey played for a solid hour-and-a-\nhalf without a break, and performed new\nsongs from Icky Thump and many tracks\nfrom previously released albums, such as\n\"Hotel Yorba,\" ,\"The Denial Twist,\" \"Stop\nBreaking Down\" and even a little Dolly\nParton. I mean, who could do \"Joleen\" better than Jack?\nAs for Meg, she took to centre stage in\nsweat pants and Puma running shoes to\nperform her signature song, \"In the Cold,\nCold Night.\" Of course, she also had the\ncrowd clapping in unison to \"Seven Nation\nArmy,\" with her heavy foot pounding it out\non the bass drum.\nThe highlight of the evening, however,\nwas \"I'm Slowly Turning into You,\" where\nJack simultaneously played his guitar, keyboard and sang while conducting the audience to woo along with him in unison.\nAll in all, it was a perfect evening.\nPerfect weather, perfect sound, perfect\ncrowd. Of course, the White Stripes get\nmore amazing each time they come\nthrough town. I really do believe the world\nis ready for the Stripes to keep rock 'n' roll\nalive. Oh, and I must mention this: Jack is\nnot only a guitar god. As soon as he left the\nstage, the clouds moved in and down came\nthe rain; hence, Jack the Weather God.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Karen Bourne __M__l]\nCiTR's charts reflect what has been spun on the air for the previous month.
