The Weakerthans Set Release Date for New Live Album
1/7/2010 By Greg Pratt

Sure, live albums are generally contractual filler, but they can be pretty awesome, classic even. So we’re excited as can be to announce that Canada’s finest indie rockers the Weakerthans have announced a release date for an upcoming live album.

The CD/DVD will be called Live at the Burton Cummings Theatre and is set to be released on Epitaph Records on March 23. No word on a tracklisting or what will be on the DVD, but stay tuned for that info as soon as we receive it.

In other Weakernews, the guys are currently holed up in a cabin in Falcon Lake, MB, recording with Jim Bryson as the backing band for his solo album. Bryson played with the Weakerthans on their recent Reunion Tour tour.

The Weakerthans’ last album was Reunion Tour, which was released in 2007. They released the digital-only iTunes Sessions live-in-the-studio EP last year.

Burning Love - Songs For Burning Lovers
In truth, the first spin of Burning Love's debut full-length didn't yield the anticipated reactions. Expecting something in the same raw, combative vein as their demo/EP, Songs For Burning Lovers, while still wonderfully rough, seemingly lacked its predecessors' overt rabidity and stampeding ...

Inception Dir. by Christopher Nolan
Hearing about someone else's dreams might be the most boring form of storytelling, but living in someone else's dreams ― at least in the hands of star writer/director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Night, Memento, The Prestige) ― makes for the movie event of the summer.... Full Review
Crackdown G20
Crackdown 2 was pretty fun when I first played the demo. But before I got my thumbs on the final code, the G20 summit tore apart downtown Toronto — including an incursion of 300 riot cops into my neighbourhood to raid the protestors' Parkdale headquarters — and shook my faith in Canada's police services....
