Okay, so i've submitted a lot of photos to last.fm, however I didn't submit any for the first 3 months after the merger and the addition of photos. The lack of photos for artist other than the mainstream disappointed me, so I made it my mission to add a pictures for artist who i came across without a submitted picture. (and of course voted for every one with a submission) Only a few times i have added a picture when one was already submitted, that was only when the submitted one was horrible.

I have not added the links (at…

Thursday, September 22nd

The Electric Six - Lee's Palace - Got talked into this show..decent act, not a fav of mine, but apparently because my friend knows the band I will get to meet them after the show. Maybe i'll get to add them to my "Artists i've smoked a J with" list. The Dirtbombs open.

Paul Weller - Kool Haus - the mod legend returns

Polysics - El Mocambo - synth pop in jumpsuits…is this original?

Seu Jorge - Lulu Lounge - The Brazilian actor entertains the world music fans.

The Zoobombs - Silver Dollar - 2 weeks in…

Thursday Sept. 15

Zoobombs are at the Silver Dollar bringing some J-rock explosion to town.

13 & God are at Lee's Palace. They are the Notwist are and Themselves together as one. Boy In Static are the openers

Friday Sept. 16

The White Stripes are at the Molson Amplitheatre. Sure the albums are getting worse, but they are still to rock you silly. The Greenhornes provide an opening act worth catching

Nouvelle Vague are at the Rivoli. A French band doing bossa nova covers?…sounds like an interesting show for sure.

Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets is at the Sunnyside Pavillion.…

The Allman Brothers Band
Eat a Peach
1972

Today is the first (of many) probably detours in my planned start of the song of the day series. Going to see the Allman Brothers in concert tonight at the Molson Amplitheatre. I have seen them before and they put on a fantastic show. I'm not really a fan of or do i really get the popularity of acts like Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band or Phish…but hearing the Allmans jam out is pure bliss!

Blues From a Gun
the Jesus and Mary Chain
Automatic
1989

This song comes from the first album I ever purchased because of a girl I liked (surely a common purchase theme for many of the boys out there). She was a very cute goth girl in my math class in a small town where being goth was definitely something different. Anways, she wore a Jesus and Mary Chain t-shirt to class one day..and viola! one of my all time favorite bands discovered.

Channel Z
The B-52's
Cosmic Thing
1989

To continue from yesterday my first non-Femmes concert was the B-52's…lots of campy fun goodness, so I will add them to my tour through memory lane. The show was at Canada's Wonderland which just proves that a good show and rollercoasters should go together

OK, So now that my music colletion has reached near insane proportions, i have decided to recommend a favorite track each day (for as long as i can last). I hope you enjoy and feel free to comment.

Kiss Off
Violent Femmes
Violent Femmes
1983

For day 2 I will go with the first band i've ever seen perform live. I was 14 and my cousin snuck me into a liscened event in Florida. My concert T-shirt from the show became my favorite shirt and lasted for around 10 years before it finally disintigrated into dust! "Kiss Off" is the best tune ever to 'Count to Ten' and will get you smiling for sure. The Femmes were also the 2nd band I saw live as they opened for the band i will feature tomorrow.

OK, So now…

Everything Counts
Depeche Mode
Construction Time Again
1983

As this is my first song of the day, i thought i would go with something special to me but there is so much, i'll start with an introduction of my musical life. This is from the very first cassette i ever purchased with my own money. Money I got from collecting empty beer bottles (growing up close to the local hot spot for teen field parties proved to be very beneficial to my pockets for many years of my young life). My plan is to keep the selections out of the…
