the glory days are coming!
"glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever"
-napoleaon bonaparte, (yeah the emperor)
canada's glory days may have passed with the end of the olympics, but canadian pop's will come on may 4th!
superstars ac newman and neko case have reunited with all of the new pornographers (and a star studded list of guests, including the dap kings, that girl from st. vincent, and will sheff from okkervil river) to release together, their 5th studio album on may 4th. from the sounds of the first single off the album, this album should secure the new pornographers place in obscurity forever. it's everything poppy and you love about the new pornographers only cooler and more modern.
even better is the may 4th release of a new broken social scene record forgiveness rock record. after keeping fans waiting in suspense for the past 4 years, kevin drew, the group leader, has finally gotten a group together to continue breaking the social scene. past broken social scene albums have featured heavily other indie artists, including feist, regina spector and that dude who plays the horn in stars, however they have trimmed down the number of musicians featured in each song and are focusing on a, in the words of kevin drew, "core-member album". by the sounds of it they are going to rock it again!
Behind the Green Curtain...
These wonderful folks are our General Board 2009-2010. Or at least, the members in attendance this week.
And these are your Executive Board and Concert Committee this year. Chris DiOrio, one of our Concert Committee members, is unfortunately not in this picture.
These crazy kids are the Exec Board.
Many thanks to Thom Corrado for serving as the photographer!

Who Knows Who Cares
I asked if I could borrow a shirt and he nodded towards room number 13.
“Pick a winner” he said.
The door was ajar and there was an anchor drawn on it. I hopped off the couch and walked in. photographs he presumably took covered the walls, one was of a person frozen in mid air. Clothes covered every inch of his floor creating a complexly textured and colored rug of plaid, stripes and other hues. I kicked my shoes off behind me into the hall and walked across the soft sea of cotton, corduroy and denim towards the bureau.
I opened the second drawer from the top and found t-shirts carefully folded with brilliant colors poking out from the depths of each of the three stacks. Then it hit me, the smell that is. An aroma of old sandwiches, pit sweat, and damp sneakers flooded my nose all at once as I picked up a yellow shirt that said “Hawaii!” on it. There were mud spots all over the back from riding a bicycle in the rain. I dropped it back in the drawer and pulled a purple tie dye up to my nose. B.O.! Another, a trail of salsa skipping down the front, maybe blood, nope, definitely salsa. Another, grass stain! Another, B.O. again, woof!
Throwing the shirts back in the drawer I closed it to seal off the stench. I looked around my feet and reached down to pick up a royal blue shirt from the floor and held it to my nose. Memories of sitting in Stephen’s kitchen during the summer flew fleetingly threw my head. Probably Tide I thought.

Sunset Rubdown
Sunset Rubdown's 2009 epic "Dragonslayer" was one of the best records of the year, and is the most accessible in Spencer Krug's whole labyrinth catalogue including work with Wolf Parade, Frog Eyes, Swan Lake, and Moonface.
The video for the 10 minute "Dragon's Lair" was released today and can be viewed below:
If you cannot get enough Spencer Krug, jump over to CultureCatch
and check out an interview I did with him in June about art criticism
and the process of making "Dragonslayer":
Love,

Tunnelvision - Four Tet
Good ol' Pitchfork just posted a new entry in their "Tunnelvision" video series - here, Ray Concepcion (who has been making quite a name for himself in the artsy-filming-of-indie-musics world of late) films three songs in a live Four Tet set through a pair of 3D glasses. It's incredibly friggin beautiful and so is the music. Embedded below is my favorite, "Sing", and you can link to the others at : http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/episode/2120-four-tet/
Power Outage
Thanks to a heavy blanket of very wet snow, we woke up this morning to an absence of electricity which is temporarily impeding our ability to broadcast. We'll be back up as soon as possible.
In the meantime, check out all the spiffy new music we've posted recently!
Love, WRMC

Trippy Music Video Tuesdays
(I doubt this will be a weekly thing, but it works for today)
Great song. Great video (they actually perform with that guy dancing in the crowd).
Brings me back to an old favorite of mine:
