September 29, 2007 - Way Down in Free Kick Land
Hello all you listeners and readers, both real and imaginary! We hope this finds you in fine fettle.... For our part, we have been laying low since last Saturday's Free Kick show, conserving energy to see us through the marathon of cool shows being offered by this year's Pop Montreal festival.

From Oct. 3-7, the Plateau and Mile End (and downtown too I suppose) will be overrun by legions of bands, fans, music industry & media types and everything in between. Check it out: not only Pere Ubu, Half Japanese and Patti Smith, but also Pagliaro (!), Gary Lucas, Fred Wesley (w/Socalled), Cody ChesnuTT, some of the "From Jamaica to Toronto" personalities, Jay Reatard, Aa, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, DJ/Rupture and so many more will be stopping by to delight us - so here's to good times, a few beers and great live music [clink]!

This Saturday's Free Kick featured music by some of the above, along with other totally untied-in musicians of note: Madlib, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, James Brown (w/Bobby Byrd - RIP), Lyn Collins, The Gaturs (feat. Willie Tee - RIP), Tunji Oleyana and the Benders, Cedric Im Brooks and the Light of Saba, The Hitch-Hikers feat. the Might Pope, Girl Talk, The Pinker Tones, Augustus Pablo. Linton Kwesi Johnson, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Gigi, Marie Osmond, The Tammys, The Pretty Things, Animal Collective, The Unireverse, Aids Wolf, Marilyn Lerner, Pere Ubu, Alamaailman Vasarat, Tom Waits, The Velvet Underground, Pixies, Fear, Violent Femmes, Patti Smith and Kraftwerk!
