Anyone hear anything about the Arkells playing the Hometown Hockey thing at KRC this weekend?
That would be cool if they were. They always put on a good show.
Any details on this event anywhere? Can't seem to find any info about it at all.

I've been listening to rap since grade 7 I'm 29. I liked the song there with him on the bike with what's her face on it too but tbh in no way has he moulded rap or done some ground breaking music IMO. It's just rap is soo not great right now that a middle of the pack guy is one of the better artist right now. I'd put Lamar above Kayne for music I'd rather listen to.
Like I grew up on slick rick, Tupac, biggie, wu tang(methot man, GZA, RZA, old dirty *******, inspector deck, ugod, Gostfaceetc..),Snoopdog, EPMD, 50 cent, Eminem, Master P, Xzibit, Jay-z, DMX, LL Cool , outkast etc... I could keep going for a while here lol of artist I think are better than him or same level.
He's not ground breaking and really not a level above guys even today.
Also not that I'm a huge drake fan either but he is actually the number 1 rap artist in the world right now. Straight from Sway on shade 45.
And he's probably the premier guy to be making these judgements.
Bought a 3-day for Bluesfest soon after the tickets became available but haven't got my wristbands yet, has anybody gotten theirs or are they shipping them closer to the date? Pretty excited to see Kanye, saw him put on a great show at Bluesfest in 2007 but he and his music have changed a lot since then. Just not looking forward to that crowd.

CityFolk so far, based on the two hints dropped:
Lucinda Williams
Bjork
Van Morrison and Of Monsters and Men are pretty big draws for this festival, interesting to see what the layout will look like at Lansdowne.
I still can't believe Elle King is Rob Schneider's daughter.
