FUGAZI - In Defense of Humans (Dischord)

We are producing the show on Wednesday night. Today was the most recent attack on homeless communities by the city. The Alexandra Park community was criminalized today. Trinity-Bellwoods three weeks ago. Moss Park two weeks ago. Lamport stadium yesterday. Alexandra Park today. Criminalizing a vulnerable population seems cruel. 

We have a lot of interesting things on the show tonight including an early PERSONALITY CRISIS demo in our demo feature. But first we are going to start out with some tributes to recently departed members of the scene starting out with Jimmy Weatherstone who drummed for the DEMICS. 

THE DEMICS - You Tell Me (Ready) 

EXISTERS - Telex Love (Self-Released)

George Higton passed away recently. This was off a CD released in 2010 called “Depreciation” which featured newly recorded versions of songs written between 1978 and 1980.
