Canadian Music Fest 2010

March 12, 2010

Hello, I’m going to try some early morn­ing blog­ging here. I’m in a bit of a rush, my ride for Austin leaves in half an hour, yet I’m still sit­ting here scarf­ing my face with peanut but­tered toast and 2% milk. Yes, that’s right, if all goes well on the way down, I shall be at SXSW again this year. I had a blast last year cov­er­ing the fes­ti­val for the National Post, but this time ’round I’m doing it on my lone­some. No fancy media pass (no pass at all yet, though we’ll see if my for­tunes change), but unlike like year, I actu­ally feel like I know what the hell is going on as far as cool bands to see (work­ing in a record store has helped tremendously).

So yes, I must be on my way, but I’ll leave you with some fun videos from this past week­end. Didn’t have time to edit them or any­thing, just dumped the footage on YouTube. First up, it’s PS I Love You fea­tur­ing Dia­mond Rings per­form­ing “Facelove” at the Sil­ver Dol­lar on Friday.

And here’s The Magic play­ing their hit song “Down­town Line” in some weird sort of tomb off of Oss­ing­ton, at 4 AM, tech­ni­cally Sat­ur­day morning.

    Uugh­hhh, regret­ting more and more being so god­damn sick dur­ing CMW, I made it out to Dia­mond Rings and Cadence Weapon but almost passed out. That PS I Love You video is awesomeee.
