Last night was the first meeting of the newly inaugurated Victoria Record Club.
If you love vinyl or think one day you might… or like hanging out with music nerds… join the group!
Not sure how many of us packed down a used shopping bag of vinyl to Talk’s Cheap on Pandora Street… but I’d imagine there were about 12 or 13 of us standing around awkwardly in Tiemen’s store.
I met a music blogger named Michelle and wanted to share her blog with you: Eh B Sea Sides
By some accounts, it was kinda fun… so we’ll do a second meeting in October. Can’t wait. I already know what record I am going to bring. But shhhhh… its a secret b/c I am going to buy it for Coral.

Rifflandia starts tomorrow! ahhhhhhhhhh
Have you checked out the schedule to draft your map or zig-zags around the beautiful Capital of British Columbia to see your favourite bands and discover new ones?
I will be broadcasting from Market Square all afternoon tomorrow as the bands roll in to set up and sound check. Then at 7PM I am free to party (probably, need to see if Nana will watch Mads… or else Coral is free to PARTY! and I’ll be watching Parenthood on my PVR and colouring).
Having Coral in tow does change my idea a bit of what I want to see. I am interested in the punk rock going down Thursday at Rehab, but Coral is probably not as inclined. She hasn’t seen the magazine yet, so this all subject to change… by her… but here’s my dream plan:
Thursday
7:30 Sunday Buckets – Market Square
8:30 Acres of Lions – Club 9one9
9:30 We Are The City – Club 9one9
*maybe grab some food or a cocktail at Veneto, or some noodlebox or something to sustain me*
11:30 JFK (MSTRKRFT) – Touch Lounge
Conversely… I could stay at Market Square all evening… or stay at Club 9one9 and be happy.
If Coral is feeling some more aggressive rock, I’d love to hit Rehab.
Sadly, I have to work Friday and Saturday (DJing at Veneto if anyone Rifflandia-ing needs a time-out, come see me for a cocktail). I might sneak to a 7:30 show… or join the party at 1AM if people are still out and about. Razer (Acres of Lions) and Scott (Dojo Workhorse) … I’m looking at you.
Sunday… maybe Ball Gag and Chain Gang at Club 9one9 then Big Muff… then fly over to Lucky Bar to see DJ Siclife then back to Club 9one9. Sunday depends on childcare/money/energy for sure.
It’ll be fun!
What’s your plans and where should I meet you for cocktails?
