Some reviews and contest updates

Hey, it's Bobby B. here and I thought I'd just link you to a few of my recent goings-on over the last couple of weeks.

First of all, I told you about my Dog Day CD giveaway a few days ago. The contest has received a slight tweak in the sense that I've now got a couple of tickets to their show at Lee's Palace to give away as well. The show is on Thursday May 28th, and it also features Burning Hell, Wildlife and Pacific Trash Vortex. Contest info is here.

Secondly, I recently attended Dave Bookman's Nu Music Nite at the Horseshoe featuring The Balconies, Tin Star Orphans, Boxes and Bags and Bella Clava. Read the review here.

And lastly, I just posted my review of Arietta's explosive CD release show at the Horseshoe, also featuring Serb Superb and The Junction. Read it here.

Have a great long weekend!

Noah's Arkweld @ Supermarket

Noah Mintz is possibly more well known for his CD mastering work with Lacquer Channel Mastering than he was with his previous band hHead. I don't mean that as a knock against hHead, what I'm saying is that if you check the liner notes of your CDs, you'll come across his name. Repeatedly. His credits include Broken Social Scene, Wintersleep, Die Mannequin, Constantines, Matt Mays & El Torpedo, Stars, The National, and on and on. As a result, he's very active in the music community, and so it was no surprise that the Supermarket was not only packed with friends but also many musicians when he held a CD release party for his new album, Names For Shapes That Don't Exist.

Pete's Best Of 2008

Well, I finally did it. I scanned all my articles from 2008 and examined my iTunes listening statistics.
