MySpace Whilst perusing the current issue of eye , I noticed something on the full-page announcement of the Bloc Party show at the Kool Haus on March 14 - an image and url for something called Canadian Music Fest . As it turns out, it wasn't nearly as interesting as I'd initially hoped - just a rebrand of the venerable Canadian Music Week festivities, but with the live showcases now being presented under a slightly different banner than the conference/business-y side of things.

Netlabel Kapital8 is offering up a new EP from Danish artist Klak Tik (ex- 6 Day Riot ) as a free download: http://kapitel8.com/2008/11/20 /klak-tik-collecting-samples/

Photo via MySpace When it comes to multi-day, acronym-ed, club-hopping music festivals I think that coming away with one new discovery that genuinely excites is a pretty good return for all the pavement pounding that inevitably goes into it. I'm not talking about acts that are already familiar or favoured, but ones that you take a chance on based on a single song or a couple MySpace streams. For me, this past NxNE , that honour went to London, England's 6 Day Riot . While I didn't pick [...]
