On the program this week, I talked about two brand new videos released by some great Halifax acts - one by Orchid's Curse and one by Ambition. I promised I would throw them up on the blog, so I'm making good on my promise.
If you love zombies, robots and sneakers then I think you'll like these vids.

Halifax Is Burning :: S03E23
The first day of summer is upon us, and it's no surprise that in Halifax the summer brings along a plethora of awesome shows. That being said, we're getting the summer kicked off right with a visit from The Details all the way from Winnipeg, MB.
The band is touring in support of their new album, Lost Art, and will be in Halifax playing with a band a have a pretty fond affinity for and another that I've known for quite some time.
This week, I caught up with The Details' Keli Martin on a tour stop in Rimouski, QC to talk about their new album, their latest tour and the "glamour" of being a touring band.
Take a listen.

Halifax Is Burning :: S03E22
I guess it's not often that I talk about movies on the blog, or on the show for that matter, but I went to see Super 8 last night - the latest blockbuster from JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg - and, well, I have to say that it was pretty good. Think ET meets The Goonies with a little bit of Stand By Me and Independence Day.
All that to say, after a great conference last week (read about it/listen to it), and a good movie this week, it's a great time to be alive.
Then again, when you live in Halifax it's always a great time to be alive - especially if you love music. So stop bitching about the rain, kick back, relax and enjoy some good tunes. You won't regret it!
Listen Listen Listen.
