Wasting's! A Time

Freedom is nearly mine. In less than two weeks time I'll be boarding a series of planes, headed for home. It's been a while since my last post, but in the meantime I've been drafting reviews for the first two issues of The Phoenix. The first issue will be sent to the printers on August 28th, to hit newstands on September 5th, 2006. In that issue I'll be reviewing Danielson's Ships, the self-titled debut from Be Your Own Pet, and Gnarl's Barkley's St. Elsewhere. Darkest Hour, From a Second Story Window, Misery Signals, and some other metalcoresque band will be playing The Habitat in Kelowna on August 22nd, and my review of their show will also appear in the first issue- if I'm lucky, I'll get an interview too.

On Friday, September 1st, Rob, Mona, myself, and potentially Dorian will be hitting the road to see Of Montreal play The Plaza Club in Vancouver. M. Ward will be playing the following night at the same club, and you can bet if Rob's schedule will allow for it, I'll be covering it.

I've ordered a lot of shit online recently and I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping that my stuff will actually make it to my new address. In case you were wondering what I'm waiting for, here's the list below. Which, I'm sure you don't, but here it is anyways- sucka!
