Vancouver's music scene is pretty dismal. Many live club venues have either closed permanently (Media Club, Dover Arms) or have closed then reopened as lame shadows of themselves (Yale, Railway Club) or are on the imminent chopping block (Fairview, Arts Club). All that's left are mostly dive bars near skid row (Pub 340, Ivanhoe, LanaLou's).
There ARE some smaller former movie theatre type venues that host many out of town bands like The Imperial, The Rickshaw, The Fox, and (my fave) The Rio in East Van, but for local bands, it's slim pickings.
I saw Andrew Loog Oldham introduce Charlie is My Darling, a bootleg of the movie (before it's official release) at the Rio. Very cool.
Dude I saw that too! Got him to sign one of my albums.
I had a really bad cold, took a neo citran and went anyway. Glad I did! I shoulda got him to sign an album, never thought of that. Which album?
Got him to sign Out of Our Heads. M
On a totally different note, man I'm so excited, my partner's dad just phoned me a short while ago and told me to get the best possible tickets I could procure and gave me his Amex info. He said it's my birthday present. Damn not even my own parents like me this much. Hoping to score pit in the Amex presale.
Good luck and happy birthday! My bday is today!
happy birthday fellow aquarian!

I'm actually in Halifax and looking at the Detroit show but can you tell me how you access the link for the LD's. I know it's only available via rollingstones.com but does it appear right at the start of the onsale?
Any advice is mucho appreciated.

You do realize that's why you call in sick for days like today.
