Hello again from the Artist Monkey,
I love Wednesdays. I have my radio show on CJSW 90.9 in the morning (have I mentioned to listen online at www.cjsw.com?). That means I really only have half a day at work. It's also Brenda Vaqueros rehearsal night. At 7pm I walk down in the depths of the Brenda Vaqueros castle in a Calgary Renfrew basement and play as loud and fast garage-rock-spaghetti-western that I can. Check us out here. I play keys and sing and we have an album release party at Broken City on May 29th. Can I mention that here? It's no where near work related...

Today we've been listening to some awesome shit in the office (if I do say so myself).
We started out with the new Mike Marshall & Darol Anger with Vasen. Fantastic new acoustic stuff http://www.mcbooking.com/Duo_Vasen_EPK/Home.html
There guys are the loves of my lives (just so you know, I've had many).....Medeski, Martin and Wood. Their second album in their Radiolarians CD is out. They're coming to the Calgary Jazz Festival in June! Hooray! http://www.mmw.net/
Lee Harvey Osmond- The new Tom Wilson project. Pardon my language but it's fucking awesome. The new CD is A Quiet Evil available on Latent Recordings. There's a wicked article about Lee Harvey Osmond on the No Depression website. Check it out. http://nodepression.com/articles.aspx?id=5372
Lastly, the amazing Glen Campbell, another festival artist for this year, has a crazy CD out called Meet Glen Campbell where he covers (of all people) Green Day, Tom Petty, Joackosn Browne, Foo Fighters, Paul Westerberg, and Lou Reed. Mister Campbell is much more than "Rhinestone Cowboy" people.
Oh look it's almost beer o'clock. See you cats later.
Cheers,
Kenna "Artist Monkey" Burima
