Tonight! at #TyrantStudios , (High above the Penthouse Night Club on Seymour Street), eugene ripper take the stage for a fast folk underground and jazz noir cavalcade of entertainment.
Some tickets still available at the door.

Recommended reading with #StephenBown ’s “Madness, Betrayal, and The Lash” about Captain George Vancouver who also sailed with Cook, and arguably better, more respectful results.

I did the same at the Commodore Ballroom. Seeing bands there in 1990. Two years later I was playing that stage myself at the age of 21.
It was s bigger deal than a stadium to me.

A lot of death lately. Some friends, some just acquaintances. People die every day of course & we only notice when it’s in our orbit. It’d be nice to defer payment as long as possible, but we all owe a death and have an Appointment in Samarkand in the end. youtu.be/88wMrLGch9w?si…

Nobody quite went down the stairs like Tim Conway. 😂😂😂

I love a well-crafted and well-delivered speech.

Canadian punk rock legend Jon Card has died. Throughout his life, Vancouverites got a front-row seat for his hard-hitting style when he joined D.O.A. in the late-’80s, staying with the punk forefathers until the early '90s. Read more: straight.com/music/legendar…

Sad to learn the passing of former #DOA drummer #JonCard (& he played with tons others). He was a great character & a hell of a powerful drummer who was fun to watch—the best kind. We always had a laugh when we saw each other.

Though Tony Zhou’s X (Twitter) account is ‘defunct’ I just watched “Vancouver Never Plays Itself” which has over 2M views! youtu.be/ojm74VGsZBU?si…

It’s a compelling question: is #Vancouver a backlot or can it play itself in film & TV? It has! Here’s a quick list from memory: 1/

I’ll be there! And as I’m working on a book about #TheMenTheyCouldntHang if you’re at the concert or some of the later shows that next week, I’d like to chat with you for the book. How long you’ve been a fan and what the music has meant to you.
Feel free to share and RT!

CPJ keeps track of casualties in the media. The number of dead journalists is staggering compared to even WW2 or Vietnam. More than both conflicts combined. cpj.org/2024/04/journa…

I haven’t noticed a significant drop in followers yet. You must be all good, verifiably decent, good, and smart people.

Truth Social really only exists in Xitter reposts. No growth. I don’t think the SEC is impressed either.

MAGA is a monetized marketing and PR platform for crazy people. Prove me wrong.

“Even Jesus dated a hooker” is a hell of a campaign slogan

Strikes me that this huge Robson Street Safeway building between Denman and Bidwell was a lost opportunity. Two more storeys could have been easily added and not been incongruous. Would have been great rental apartments esp. for seniors with the nearby shops. No?
