Some good news to share: - Former Regina Police Service Chief Calvin Johnston (not to be confused with Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening and Dub Narcotic Sound System ) is running for the Liberals in Regina Palliser. During his service as Regina's top cop, Johnston repeatedly proved himself to be a stand-up-guy with a keen understanding of a broad array of justice-related issues. He should have a decent shot, especially since the incumbent MP, Conservative Dave Batters, is stepping down to deal with a benzo addiction . Those conservatives...the rhetoric sure [...]
"Passing to Where?" Sometimes I take out my passport, look at the photograph of myself (not very good, etc.) just to see if I exist Tokyo June 12, 1976 by Richard Brautigan I left Regina near the end of August, 2006. Mainly because I was bored. I had outlived my usefulness to the city and vice versa. But we were still on speaking terms . It had [...]

by bmac Wow what a week. It was a QC reunion in Brooklyn from Sunday to Sunday, so we all need this mix to decompress for the days ahead. Caught some great shows in the city, consumed multiple 32 oz. margaritas from the Turkey's Nest during walks through the park, and spoke to every freakin' stranger that would let us. Lots of love in the air. Get em' all at once - QC Mixtape 8.zip [...]
Who would ever have thunk that Regina would find itself in the midst of an affordable housing crisis? Certainly not any of the members of Regina's city council --where you'll find no shortage of realtors and developers--who were pretty quick to pass the buck . Luckily, Regina landlord Jason Hall isn't afraid to think outside the box . While the North Central Community Association went to City Council with hopes of making slum lords more accountable, Hall thinks that it's the tenants who need to be more accountable to the landlords. But y'know, when you've [...]
1. (Dancin'!) Barbie & the Rockers! There was a time in the mid-80's that Barbie n' company's stranglehold on the disproportionately-leggy plastic doll market was in danger of being usurped by the far rawkin'er Jem and the Holograms. Jem's blonde mane was moussier than Barbie's, she could swing a mean microphone cord, and she had the [...]
Will probably be busy this weekend. So I thought I post a bunch of Swedes. Should last you for awhile. Smedby - Gentle Touch Once you used to - Gentle Touch Business Girls - Le Sport It's Not the End of the World - Le Sport I Comes Before U - Le Sport [...]
by bmac I really like this week's mixtape. A lot of foot-tapping jams. As always you can download/stream each track individually or grab them all in one place with the zip (below). I've also added a new help screen for those of you who've had some trouble downloading music from QC. Have a good week, homies. Get em' all at once - QC Mixtape 4.zip [...]
by reyes borani I know it seems we like we have a slight Regina habit. That is admittedly true, but we've only posted a couple tracks if you check the archives so here's a third. I love this jazzy jam off 11:11 . Spektor plays McCarren Pool on August 15th. Only cool people allowed. MARRY ANN BY REGINA SPEKTOR: Bonus jam: another track off 11:11 because it's hard to stop once you start listening. [...]
Und zwar nicht irgendeine Regina, sondern die gleichnamige Band aus Finnland gibt sich heute Abend ab 20 Uhr im Kieler Prinz Willy die Ehre. Regina s Stil kann man als atmosphärischen, verspielten, modernen Elektropop bezeichnen, mir wurde die Umschreibung "zwischen Björk und The Knife" zugespielt, und die trifft es schon ganz gut, ich würde vielleicht noch Hooverphonic hinzufügen. Zwei Alben hat die Band bisher veröffentlicht, und heute kehren sie also in Kiel ein, um uns ihre Spielart skandinavischer Musik zu präsentieren. Ein echter Tipp! Weitere Deutschlandtermine: morgen in Leipzig, am Samstag in Chemnitz. [...]

Merry fucking x-mas, The royal family is back in town! Hold On To Me, Baby - Air France Download .. Straight outta Finland kommer her en lille julesang, der trods det fuldstændig uforståelige sprog er et rigtigt cool nummer, tjek det ud og sæt det for guds skyld på til en af den forestående feries fester, i stedet for "Jul Det Cool" eller alle mulige tramper remixes af diverse juleklassikere. Näinä mustina iltoina [...]
Image: Carl Larsson, "Lucia", 1908. December 13 is a very special day in the Nordic countries. We celebrate Sancta Lucia today, and you can read this post I wrote about it last year to get some facts about the traditions. I'll even use the same image for this post, just to save some time and resources... Am I lazy? Yeah, probably very lazy.... Let's move on to today's christmas songs, and today I've only got one because I'm lazy and can't think of anything else than Lussekatt-cookies and Hot Chocolate: [...]
The Christmas singles are now coming thick and fast and I decided this year I would refrain from posting them. But! Sofia Talvik who is responsible for one of the years better singles in the shape of Blaa Linjen Hem has released a free Christmas single in the shape of a single simply entitled Christmas . It comes in three versions and can be download direct from here in a zip file complete with artwork. [My Space link ] Finnish band Regina have [...]
Danish electronica label VUFrecords is giving away another free compilation of electronica tracks featuring a wide range of interesting Scandinavian artists. I'm really no expert on this genre (or any other genre for that matter), but after a few listens it does sound like this could be a really cool compilation of tracks. The label's first compilation of freebies was downloaded more than 700 times and obviously they'd love to do even better this time. So give them a helping hand a go here to download it and the first one as [...]
Regina (sorry, no photo) is the third artist i have written about from the small but truly excellent swedish record lable Songs I wish I had written from where you can also order cd:s and stuff. Regina has been around for a while and they first caught my eye (ears) at the now late music festival Popaganda in Stockholm last spring. Singing in their native language (finnish) the lyrics sounds completely like gibberish to me which surely is not the case with the wonderful electronic music emerging [...]
Once again I'm sharing a nice way to finish (or start) the week with a couple of tracks by an unsigned band: Le Corps Mince de Francoise. Despite their French name ("Françoise's skinny body"), the band is from Finland. Yet another mysterious, anonymous band from Myspace... Bambi and her friends (Emma, Mia & Malin) play the kind of shy and stylish electro sounds that make me wish I could visit
Att finland är mer än rasmus och bastu svett är klart men ändå så tycker jag att det är en svår natinalscene som jag inte har så stor koll på... så jag ska ta o kolla upp den lite bättre och även få med er (de få som läser) Viola - Lovelights (synth, fioler och shön pop) Viola - Sad eyed disco dancer (synthpop) Regina - Minua ollan vastassa (synthpop på finska med saxofon intro) Regina - Minua ollan vastassa ( Unarmed Enemies Overslept [...]
