Wednesday, May 7, 2008 I forgot to mention that the other night I attended another TXRD bout. It was a pretty tough match that saw the Hollyrollers and the Cherry Bombs beat each other up while constantly battling for points. The Hollyrollers pulled out a win in the end, but I have to say that it may have only been because the Cherry Bombs were getting injured left and right Crazy. If you're in Austin and have never been to a bout then you really need to go. It has honestly become [...]

It's fair to say that Brendan Canning 's breezy and hard-driving song "Hit the Wall" from Broken Social Scene's 2nd volume of Presents , sounds a lot like, well, Broken Social Scene . That, of course, is not a bad thing by any means, even though a part of me wishes to be thrown a curve ball from these lovingly noisy, always melodic Canucks. Then again, when you've got an awesome sound like they do, why change it? For video of Canning avoiding the telephone, head to the album's microsite . For [...]

Indeed it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I would plead for forgiveness but in all honesty I haven't been that busy, in fact I rather enjoyed my 2 weeks of nothingness. Moreover I believe that I am rested up enough to contribute a little more regularly, at least more regularly than Thom. First order of Business is Brendan Canning's Broken Social Scene Presents. The second of the series, and includes many of the things that Kevin Drew's did, including most of the members of Broken Social Scene, and a many of [...]
From the next in the Broken Social Scene Presents ... series. A song from Brendan Canning's forthcoming solo album. Here . Broken Socal Scene play Vicar St. on May 20th.

Now that Broken Social Scene is through Presenting Kevin Drew, the collective can move on to Presenting other people who make music. But first, what exactly constitutes a Broken Social Scene Presents billing? From what we can tell, the artist in question must: be a member of Broken Social Scene have lots of people from Broken Social Scene and/or Canada do cameos on the solo record in question have a beard So with KD out of the way, BSS take the logical next step of pimping the wares [...]
