So as you may have noticed, we've finally been making some changes to the site to make it more functional as a whole. Pearce and Kaleena are both contributing on a semi-regular basis now, and you can see who's posting what by simply taking note of whose name appears at the bottom of each article. We each have our own departments too: Pearce handles the album review articles ("OFF THE RECORD", and the soon-to-come "FROM THE VAULT") and Kaleena and I grab what we can out of the live shows we attend ("LIVE WIRE", "LOCAL EXPOSURE"). We anticipate some new articles to come too, so stay tuned as we do our best to keep our shit in the mills. Thanks to some help from local concert shooter Rebecca Blissett, we're just now starting to get noticed by the good people at Live Nation. I shot a corporate event for them last Wednesday.
You may also have noticed that we've been too busy with our thumbs up our asses to update the site. I'm justifying that by saying that there really hasn't been anything in town that I give a crap about reviewing, and also that I've just been far too preoccupied with helping out on the set of Ali Milner's music video for her new single "Crystal Clear". While most of the video's being shot on HD by director Kyle Sandilands and company, the rest of the video's going to be made up of still photo sequences. And who's shooting that? That's right; on this shoot, my XTi and I were B Cam.
Here's a sneak preview of what these still photo sequences are going to look like in the finished product. Simply bring up this slideshow, wait a bit for everything to load, then click through all the photos as fast as you can.
What can I say? We make magic happen.
Finally, Ali just so happens to hail from this fine province of ours so support your local artists and if you like what you hear on her MySpace, shell out a bit o' cash and pick up her self-titled debut here. Even if her jazz-inspired pop originals aren't your cup of beer, she's got some mean covers of Nirvana, Neil Young and The Eagles on deck for you to seduce drunk college girls with in the wee hours of the morning. You know who you are.
... I'm watching you, Pearce.
Ali Milner plays The Libra Room this Friday, May 16th at 7:45 PM.
Coming soon: Pearce's review of She & Him's Volume One.
