There's lots of new content on my blog this week, including three (!) giveaways you can enter, a couple of which include new album reviews for local bands; news about the latest podcast (sort of); and a special Over the Top Festival preview with song downloads from most of the bands playing this weekend. All told, there are thirty free songs in the following posts. Check them out if you're interested:
Ticket/CD Giveaway & Review: Slim Twig @ Horseshoe Tavern, 29 May --- Slim Twig's new album is expectedly bizarre (in a good way), and the show should be awesomely weird too.
Podcast 40 (21-23 May 2009) --- This episode was eaten by technology, but here's what it would have been like.
Over the Top Festival preview --- To make up for the loss, and as an excuse to give you lots of free music and get you out to these great shows.
Ticket Giveaway: 9th Annual Bob Dylan Tribute Night @ C'est What, 24 May.
Ticket/CD Giveaway & Review: Five Blank Pages @ Mod Club, 23 May --- This Toronto band performs for the last time ever, and celebrates the release of one final EP.
This week I'm recommending the Over the Top Festival, but I've got a few other show suggestions here.
Finally, a fellow blogger and Ottawa's main indie music show promoter, Matthew from i(heart)music, is in a bit of financial trouble. SOCAN called him last week demanding $2000 in royalties.Anyone willing and able to help out can read his post about what's happening here.
Happy show-going / music listening!

Wow, great blog guys! Stumbling upon TMBC was like filling a small but meaningful void in my daily search for T.O. music news.
