Food and music and festivals and Iron Maiden and Star Collector reunions
First, a couple of specific thingies. We all like food, right? And we all like doing something for the greater good of humanity, right? We're also a pile of lazy fucks, right? So why not go indulge all of these things by going out to eat, letting someone else cook for you, and then not lifting a finger past signing your credit card slip for the meal... and 25% of said meal's price will go to AIDS research. Fantastic! This is happening all over North America and it's called Dine Out For Life. It's coming up quick on March 27, so have a look at who's participating and go out and eat some great food for a great cause!
http://www.diningoutforlife.com/
Next, you've probably all heard about the Pemberton Festival on July 25-27 by now, but for those who haven't, tickets are on sale on March 28 for about $240 for the 3-day festival just north of Whistler, BC. It's aim is to be akin to the great multi-day European festivals. Finally, they're giving it a shot over here. They do this at Sasquatch and Coachella, and finally Canada gets a shot (VirginFest is great but not quite the same).
In addition to a line-up headlined by Coldplay, Tom Petty, Nine Inch Nails and Jay-Z (they really have something for everyone here), and including everything from The Crystal Method to the Flaming Lips to the Sam Roberts Band and back again, there's a few other things that are making this festival quite an interesting affair. Of course, there is a campsite on the 360-acre grass field that makes up the location (backdrop Mouth Currie... gorgeous). The campground will include Euro-fest style amenities such as a general store and food being served until 3am, so you don't have to subsist off the bag of peanuts in your backpack at the campsite. The markets will be selling a lot of local growers' foods, so yeah, you can buy up a fresh bag of tomatos direct from the farmer who grew them. Apparently they aren't letting outside alcohol in, but who knows, maybe this is available at the general store. Also, due to a unique geographical quirk, there are no root vegetables allowed into the festival. Seriously. You can't bring in your own potatoes. No word whether this affects the possibility of french fries being available to nosh on at the event. The campground is for 19+, but there is also a family campground, and a kids' zone so the wee ones have fun things to do. And of course if camping's not your bag, Whistler is a quick trip away and filled with a range of accommodations from princess to pauper. There will be artisans and adventure companies on site. Lots of things to do, and the festival is also promoting as much environmental care as can be possible for such an event. It's also supposed to take place in a typically-dry weekend for the area. go check out the website - there's a TON of info there.
Have a gander at http://www.pembertonfestival.com for all the goods.

IRON MAIDEN ANNOUNCE WESTERN CANADA DATES FOR "SOMEWHERE
BACK IN TIME - WORLD TOUR 08"
From onstage last night (March 16th) at a packed Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Iron
Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson announced a series of arena shows in Western Canada
for their eagerly anticipated "SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME - WORLD TOUR 08". Tickets for
Toronto having sold out months in advance, the band are delighted to announce they
are returning to Canada this summer for further dates in the West in a number of

Star Collector Schedules Spring Reunion Shows
Boomers can add Star Collector to a long list of recent reunion tours
including Genesis, Van Halen and The Police. Sources close to the band say a
massive reunion tour is set to officially launch in April. The tour will
feature founding members, Vic Wayne, Rene Lafleur and Steve Monteith with a
talented rotation of bass players including Kevin Kane and Andrew J. Fuller.
Fans had all but given up hope for a reunion after the astoundingly amicable
parting of 2007 but rumour has it that a massive infusion of beer company
cash has reinvigorated the boys with the purchase of several new pair of
underwear and a six-pack of lager with two limes. Other than a one-time gala
for the Queen in December the band has not played together in over seven
months.
Along with their massive catalog of AM radio hits the band is expected to
introduce several new tracks and some cover songs.
Scheduled dates:
End of Ski Season Bash! presented by Big Rock
Saturday, April 5: Golden, BC (Kicking Horse Resort) 3pm to 6pm
Sunday, April 6: Golden, BC (Kicking Horse Resort) 3pm to 6pm

Raconteurs go crazy with new album release!
What! This is manic! ....
The Raconteurs are happy to announce that in one week’s time their second album, entitled “Consolers Of The Lonely”, will be available EVERYWHERE Tuesday, March 25th.
“Album” meaning: full length vinyl, CD and digital formats; and “everywhere” meaning: local mom and pop Indie retailers, corporate superstore, supermarkets, iTunes, Amazon, the band’s own website and any other location that could get the record up and going this quickly (some places couldn’t move this fast, so they will join in as soon as they can).
It contains 14 new recordings and is being released globally on Third Man Records in conjunction with our marketing/distribution partners, XL Recordings and Warner Brothers Records.
With this release, The Raconteurs are forgoing the usual months of lead time for press and radio set up, as well as forgoing the all important “first week sales”. We wanted to explore the idea of releasing an album everywhere at once and THEN marketing and promoting it thereafter. The Raconteurs would rather this release not be defined by it’s first weeks sales, pre-release promotion, or by someone defining it FOR YOU before you get to hear it.
Another purpose was to also allow people to have their own choice as to exactly which format they would like to hear the album in IMMEDIATELY, rather than having to wait for their favorite format to become available. The band are also not releasing any version of this record that contains bonus tracks.
The band also prefer that fans buy the album as a whole instead of breaking up the tracks, but until iTunes and other digital services allows bands to release their albums with the option of NOT breaking it up, it will be sold in that fashion on those particular sites. On the band’s website however, the album will be sold in its entirety as MP3s at 320kb bit rate. Also in Japan, fans will be able to download the record via their mobile phones, as that is how a majority of recorded music is consumed there.
The reason we are announcing this release one week ahead of time is because of retail pre-ordering and stocking, information about this album’s imminent release was bound to come to light and could be confusing to fans.
Also in the event that the record leaks, we didn’t want this method of release to be seen as a REACTION to such a leak. It’s not. The actual worst thing about a leak is the usual poor sound quality, akin to watching a movie on a wristwatch instead of in a theatre. Which for the album’s creators is a bit of a letdown, but again, it is completely up to the listener.
There will be a video up on the internet for the first single, “Salute Your Solution”, on the 25th as well, provided it gets edited in time. We just filmed it the other day!
We hope not to confuse anyone with too many options, or deny them the formats that they like best. The Raconteurs feel very strongly that music has worth and should be treated as such. Thank you to all those who respect music in this fashion, and thank you to our label partners for working with us to get this album to fans in as many formats as possible all at once.
Thank you, and we hope that you enjoy “Consolers Of The Lonely”.
Sincerely,
The Raconteurs

Interesting photodocumentary
It's photos, it's a film, it's a story, it's a series of stories. Go have a look at a photofilm put together by a UK photo contemporary of mine, Christian Payne, about the Iraqi refugees.
