The Rheostatics have a new album, featuring Canadian music legends like Alex Lifeson, and Gord Downie, posthumously.
I listened to the entire album a couple of times today and it's terrific. Like most Rheostatics projects, it's quite unique, cool, and interesting. A mix of instrumentals, spoken word pieces from various guests, and a couple of classic Rheos-style songs. I'm diggin' it. Martin's playing is definitely missed, but I really like the addition of Alex Lifeson on this record. And hearing Downie's voice from beyond the grave really hit me in the feels.

The MJ Lenderman extended universe continues to impress
Got tickets for Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman your in the spring, May in San Francisco. The only Canadian stop in Toronto unfortunately and will use any excuse to get to San Francisco again. Not much tickets left this morning. The Masonic is a great venue too.

That’ll be a great, great show.
Not exactly a Jimmy Buffet vibe to that pairing, but if drinking $30 pina coladas while it rains in the bar is your thing, might I suggest crossing the street and hitting the Tonga Room for a little pre-show drink? lol
