Halifax Is Burning :: S02E06 - ECMA Style

It was an all-ECMA star-studded extravaganza on Halifax is Burning this week. For a full list of nominees, read this, and for a full list of winners, read this.

I also tried to drop a new Wintersleep jam, but I couldn't get any of the proper science in the studio to work. Instead, I posted a link on the show's Twitter page, so you can hear it there.

I didn't catch much of the ECMA live web-stream broadcast, but many people said it was a snooze fest. I can assure you my broadcast was much better. Check it out:

Not only did Moncton's The Motorleague come home from the ECMAs with an award for Loud Recording of the Year but they also won the Fan's Choice Video of the Year for this awesome "Hymn For The Newly Departed" video:



I caught The Motorleague's set at the Forward Music Group showcase at Governor's and they were awesome as always. Congrats boys!

In other video news, Cape Breton's Tom Fun Orchestra took home the Video of the Year award for "Throw Me To The Rats". Check it out:

Halifax Is Burning :: S02E05

I feel like punching myself in the throat for getting sick again. Blerg.

Played a whole lot of tunes this week, lots of new stuff. Didn't get a chance to talk about the ECMAs which are happening in Sydney, NS this week because there was too much awesome stuff going on in Halifax. This is a good place to be.

Also, in case you didn't know - Halifax is Burning is re-broadcast every week Fridays on CKDU from 1am to 2am. Perfect listening for when you get home from the sweet shows I preview every week.
