NXNE update

So it's official and I'm going to NXNE in Toronto next month, with media passes through the station.

The schedule is up now for most of the festival with a few holes to still be filled. You can check it out here. You can search by band or venue. Try looking under the venue since it seems easier.

I was going to check out a Toronto Blue Jays game when I was up there, most likely on the Saturday but there are two bbqs going on that afternoon that I'd like to check out. Six Shooter Records is having one and so is White Cowbell Oklahoma. Not sure which one I'll hit but either of them is enough to get me to call off going to a game.

Hopefully I'll make it out to some of the panels. Nothing on mp3 blogs per say but some on technology that seem interesting.

The big draws seem to be interviews with The Police's Stewart Copeland there to plug his documentary on The Police, "Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out", Tom Verlaine of Television and Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks. Both the Buzzcocks and Television will be playing shows as well.
