These are a few of my favourite things...

So those of you that know me, know I am involved in music such things on an ongoing basis.
I do a weekly radio show on C101.5FM (www.myspace.com/xx_show), I am a volunteer PR person for a small indie label based out of a small town north of Toronto called Mushroom Productions (www.mushroomproductions.com), and I enjoy going out to check out bands and singer/songwriters and all such creatures whenever I get the chance.
This past weekend I went with my Mushroom boys down to the Big Smoke and took in some of Canadian Music Week.
Here (to the left) you can see Nina playing violin for 'Still Life Still' (http://www.purevolume.com/stilllifestill) - young kids & super ambitious - you know they have a supreme chance at making it.
And to the right, you can catch a glimpe of Lily Frost (http://www.lilyfrost.com/) at the Aporia Records showcase. Lily is pregnant, and glowing, and lovely as ever, and I was thrilled that she recognized me after only really speaking with her a few times when she has been in Hamilton to perform.
Also, I had the chance to connect with another Aporia Records person: Pernille. What a haunting and glorious voice. She is based in Denmark, and has worked with a number of people to create a wonderful sound that I cannot wait to play on XX. (http://www.aporia-records.com/pernille.html)
Some of the other groups I got the chance to see:
~ Inward Eye
~ The Fembots
~ Great Lake Swimmers
~ The Parkas
