This Year's Song - 'Ghostbusters' by: Ray Parker Jr.
If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call - Ghostbusters.
If there's something weird and it don't look good, who you gonna call - Ghostbusters.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
If you're seeing things running through your head, who can you call - Ghostbusters.
An invisible man sleeping in your bed, oh, who you gonna call - Ghostbusters.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
If you're all alone, pick up the phone, and call - Ghostbusters.
I ain't afraid of no ghost, I hear it likes the girls.
If you've had a dose of a freaky ghost maybe you'd better call - Ghostbusters.
Let me tell you something, bustin' makes me feel good!
I ain't afraid of no ghost. Don't get caught alone, oh no!
When it comes through your door, unless you just want some more, I think you better call - Ghostbusters.

SOCAN's Second Annual Echo Songwriting Prize
Canada: 5 Anglophone and 5 Francophone artists (independent) have been nominated. We, the public can listen and vote at:
The winning songwriter(s) will receive a $5,000 CDN cash prize.
Contest runs until September 28, 2007.
Click below for more information.
SOCAN:
SOCAN is proud to announce the launch of the second annual ECHO Songwriting Prize and the Prix de la chanson ÉCHO, which highlight and celebrate the songwriting talents of some of the best independent, up-and-coming Anglophone and Francophone songwriters in Canada.
What it is: The Echo Songwriting Prize is designed to put the spotlight on some of this country?s up-and-coming songwriters who might not otherwise receive recognition for their work at this point in their careers. It?s also a unique opportunity for SOCAN to introduce itself to future members. Our members are of the utmost importance to us and we continually look to new initiatives to enhance the services we offer them.
How it works: Two independent panels each made up of ten (10) of the nation's top music community tastemakers, representing various regions of the country and musical genres, nominated a total of 30 songs related to each prize. Once the nomination process was complete, the panelists reviewed each of the nominated songs and, using a point-value system, determined the top five French and English songs to be voted on by the public. The public is then able to listen to the songs and vote for their favourite at www.echoprize.ca

"Jerry Leger is one of the best songwriters I've heard in quite some time." - Ron Sexsmith
"Passionate Toronto poet." - Now Magazine
"Jerry Leger is a singing storyteller true to his craft. Never worried about how he'll fare against today's trends. He'd rather focus on carrying the torch from those who influenced him such as Dylan, Costello, Waits, Parsons to name a few. With his group "The Situation", he has been able to develop a unique sound which is starting to catch the ear of critics, peers and music lovers..." - The Official Website

SOCAN:
SOCAN is proud to announce the launch of the ECHO Songwriting Prize and the Prix de la chanson ECHO, which are set to highlight and celebrate the songwriting talents of some of the best independent, up-and-coming Anglophone and Francophone songwriters in Canada.
What it is: The Echo Songwriting Prize is designed to put the spotlight on some of this country?s up-and-coming songwriters who might not otherwise receive recognition for their work at this point in their careers. It's also a unique opportunity for SOCAN to introduce itself to future members. Our members are of the utmost importance to us and we continually look to new initiatives to enhance the services we offer them.
How it works: Two independent panels each made up of eight (8) of the nation's top music community tastemakers, representing various regions of the country and facilitating one another's exposure to a diverse collection of musical genres, nominated a total of 24 songs related to each prize.
Once the nomination process was complete, the panelists reviewed each of the nominated songs and, using a point-value system, determined the five songs for each prize that will be voted on by the public. The public is then able to listen to the songs and vote for their favourite at http://www.socan.ca/
SOCAN invites you to (meet the nominees and) cast your vote for your favourite song by logging onto http://www.socan.ca/

Sat.Aug.19/06[22:00] @ Rivoli (upstairs pool hall), Toronto.
Review:
It's not often I break out the robot when I'm at a bar. Okay, I'm lying. I break it out all the time but that being said, it's only when I'm listening to some kickin' beats that the automaton action is put forth.
Last Saturday I discovered that deejay scootz (a.k.a. Neil Livingston) has become the new resident DJ at the Rivoli pool hall. Not only has the environment changed since I've been there but so has the music. deejay scootz is selecting and spinning 12" LP's and rare 45's every Saturday until at least the fall.
After taking more than a few glances around the room, I noticed that everyone upstairs was feeling the vibe - including the couple making out near the bar. And you know what? I think the music helped me play a pretty stellar game of pool that night and I'm no shark.
Spinning Jazz, Sweet 60's Soul, 70's R&B, Funk, Disco, Hip-Hop, Conscious Reggae, Indian, Brazilian, African, Country, Rock and a diverse array of Electronic music I can see Rivoli's pool hall becoming a really great place to chill when I'm not up for the patio scene. And once the cooler weather comes on...look out! Full house, I'm sure. When deejay scootz isn't creating his aural magnificence at the Rivoli, he's the founding member of the Beatz Massive sound collective that plays around the city.

The New Sidetrack Cafe
Thu.Apr.20/06[14:00], Edmonton. *GRAND REOPENING* Click "Continue reading..." for details.
After two delayed grand openings, a train derailment and some general craziness, The Sidetrack Café will open the doors of its new location at 10238-104 Street this Thursday, April 20, 2006. This location continues the Sidetrack's commitment to live music, great atmosphere, and fabulous food.

It incorporated a dining room and a live music venue, featuring bands from across Canada and around the world. The business has been recognized for being one of the best venues in Western Canada, garnering a hat trick of nominations from the Western Canadian Music Awards for Best Live Venue, and being recognized as such, 9 years in a row, by the readers of SEE Magazine. On February 26th, 2006, the Sidetrack closed up shop at its previous location and moved down the street to its new home at 10238 - 104st.
On April 20th, The Sidetrack Café will officially celebrate the grand opening of its new location at 10238-104 Street on the historic Fourth Street Promenade area of downtown Edmonton.
Kicking off the 4 day, Free show, celebration on Thursday will be Edmonton's Fabulous Bee Feeders. The weekend of concerts will feature Victoria's Hanson Brothers, and Sackville, NB Julie Doiron christening the new Sidetrack Café stage for a proper introduction to the historic downtown core.
