Diamond Rings - "Free Dimensional"

Wed, 29 Aug 2012 20:11:23 -0700

Our favourite bleached blonde bb Diamond Rings has finally revealed the cover art and tracklisting for his upcoming sophomore project Free Dimensional, which will be released via Secret City Records on October 22. Later that week, the Ontario native will also be hitting up David Letterman to make his Network TV debut.

According to a press release, Free Dimensional retains the same clever juxtapositions and lyrical honesty that garnered him kudos for his 2010 debut effort Special Affections. “A big part of being afraid of something is not understanding it,” he admits. “Once I became more comfortable with the medium of electronic music, it was only natural to want to improve.”

Free Dimensional Tracklisting

Everything Speaks
All The Time
Runaway Love
Put Me On
I’m Just Me
Hand Over My Heart
(I Know) What I’m Made Of
A To Z
Stand My Ground
Day & Night

Diamond Rings has just announced his first wave of headlining shows in the US following his fall tour dates supporting Stars. More Canadian tour dates will be announced soon. And hopefully Vancouver will get a shout out.

Winnie Goes To: Live At Squamish

Wed, 29 Aug 2012 15:24:07 -0700

»Full Pictures

Now in it’s third year Live at Squamish took place this past weekend August 24th-26th. An hour out side of Vancouver the festival put on a “decidedly Canadian effort” with a strong offering of local and national acts set to the beautiful backdrop of the Stawamus Chief and the Garibaldi mountain in the picture perfect Squamish Valley.

A traffic accident delayed our arrival on Saturday getting in around 6pm and I missed one of the few non Canadian acts I was looking forward to, Charles Bradley. :( Here’s Charles playing a Canadian cover.

Vancouver’s Rococode played the Meadow stage.

Newly married, Justin of Philosoraptor throws down an upside down peace / being shitty sign.

Humans went on around 8:30pm or whenever it was on the smallest Meadow stage. Hopefully next year they are deserving upgraded to one the bigger stages. They did manage to pack out the audience as they delved into a set of mostly new material from their latest EP Traps.

Humans - Horizon

They passed around the audience a cardboard cutout of group member Robbie supposedly from an upcoming music video. The crowd eventually took over the small stage and as the group launched into their crowd favorite Avec Mes Mecs for their last song. Halfway through the performance was cut short as one of their cables came undone. It made for an abrupt but suiting finish with the crowd chanting the hook “who knew all we had to do was party” as the group left the stage.

Next up Le Tragically Hip on the main stage. I hated The Tragically Hip growing up. I think I mostly hated their fans. It was not very Nirvana which was all I was into at the time. The group have grown on me and I think they hold a deserving spot in the highest echelon of Canadian music royalty. They are something quintessentially Canadian in an Ontario, Great Lakes group of seven I just threw up in my mouth and ate it kind of way.

This is maybe the most Canadian song of all time other than Oh Canada and The Hockey song if that is indeed a Canadian song. They teach it to small kids in schools and flunk kids if you don’t know all the words.

The Tragically Hip - Bobcaygeon

I had yet to see them live, it was quite a treat. Some bb showed her explodingly large fake boobs. Gord Downey was delightfully weird and entertaining appearing ageless fronting the group who are now in their 29 years. It’s always a disappointment when a group with such a large back catalog play too much new material but the group stuck to a delightful 2/3 old stuff/hits, crowd pleasing formula.

Bromeo-whoooah. Closing things out for the night, Montreal’s Chromeo kicked things into high gear on the Garibaldi stage.

Chromeo - Don’t Turn The Lights On

Some bro crowd surfed ON A surf board. There should be a special term for this. Bruhfing??

Some burlesque bb’s danced. Hi bb.

Afterwards we departed to an after party at 100.5 soon to be 102.7fm The Peak’s Tamara Stanners’ house. She is quite the gracious host and knows how to throw a bonfire party.

The party was quickly upgraded by Tamara to a “palate fire” who seemed no stranger to danger as the flames jumped 8ft in the air.

She initiated the name game with all of the people around the fire, a lot of whom were musicians from the festival and Peak Performance project acts. I think I introduced myself and explained that I was celebrating Bob Marley’s (RIP BOB) birthday as my something no one else knows secret. Acoustic guitars were brought out and campfire songs sung.

Good For Grapes bros.

There was an actual Nickleback Motown cover band cleverly called Motown Nickleback there who also played the festival. They’ve raised money via Kickstarter to record their album! Open your hearts and let Chad in.

Tamara’s daughters Samantha and Alex. Alex plays music as Badger Child, chekitowt.

As 3am rolled around we decided to return to Vancouver. On the way home Underworld’s 12 minute lament Underworld - Born Slippy (Nuxx) was intense enough to keep 2 of 6 of us awake long enough to make it to Prospect Point in Stanley Park. My photography skills beyond shot by this time.

The clandestine once a year secret Raccoon party with the Glory Days djs Jason, Hana and Rico raged until the authorities showed up at 6:30am. Apparently they gave Jason of Olio Festival a ride with his gear back home or two his truck? I’m not sure which but either way I

Preview: Linkin Park @ Rogers Arena 9/4

Tue, 28 Aug 2012 17:18:10 -0700

Brace yourselves, I’m about to get sentimental.

The year was 2004 and I was at the peak of my emo-wannabe phase. I remember spending countless hours listening to Numb by Linkin Park and lusting after Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. While I’ll admit that was a particularly confusing time in my adolescence, one cannot deny that Linkin Park knows how to throw down. Need I remind you of that collaboration album they did with Jigga that went on to sell almost two million copies in the United States alone?

In June the boys released their fifth studio album, with production being handled by band member Mike Shinoda along with musical legend Rick Rubin. Living Things brings out a new sound, combing electronic elements with rap and nu metal. The records 12 tracks bring you back to your teenage years without making you remember why they sucked so hard.

In support of the album, Linkin Park, along with Mute Math and Incubus, are touring the country on the Honda Civic Tour. The tour will be stopping by Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on September 4 and a few tickets are still available. You can purchase them at here.
