World Record BROKEN! The Longest Continuous Multi-Artist Concert Mark Goes to Canada. And It’s STILL GOING.
Shortly after 7 am Sunday (April 2), during a performance by Shotsy and the Vortex, the group attempting to set the world record for the longest continuous multi-artist concert beat the record. And after sixteen days, it’s still going. (video below)
Before there was vinyl: Jukebox from 1800’s entertains guests at P.E.I. inn
The Regina Corona Music Box was more likely playing tunes dating back to your great-great-grandfather’s day. The Dundee Arms Inn and Restaurant in Charlottetown has had one of the music boxes in its lobby for the past two years.
Tragically Hip played off at the Junos and fans freak
As Hip member Paul Langlois took the stage to accept the award on behalf of the band Sunday night, the guitarist gave a lengthy speech in which he thanked family and the band’s crew. But Juno producers had their eye on the clock and started playing him off.
Good morning.
Regarding the above “Hip being played off” bit, this from the article:
“Wow. The Junos just played off the Tragically Hip WITH A TRAGICALLY HIP SONG in the middle of acknowledging Gord Downie. Smh.

Good morning!
New Pornos – Whiteout Conditions is a SOLID record.
Hello
First item on *q* this day: Maggie Rogers. Remarkable young singer-writer, “discovered” by Pharrell — in class. (Clip findable on youtube.)
Good Morning?
Hello, Michael.
ok sorry about that ‘good morning’ at first there were no comments here, so I was surprised… ignore people ignore
Good morning Benoit!
It’s raining a lot here in Ottawa and the Eastern tail of Ontario; seeing it’s Spring, we must rejoice. (I wonder if the nearby Rideau River will overflow a bit. It’s two stone’s throws away.)
I actually quite nice here today. There is a strange yellow thing in the sky.
garf: globular and warmish?
Yeah, It appears to be a little lower in the sky now
Ah, yes, the hot-ball-that-goes-round-the-world. No-one knows how that happens.
Hello hello! Seems a bit tasteless to play off a band acknowledging their lead singer with their own song. Also, couldn’t the Junos have given Paul Langlois a little more time?
In the interest of full disclosure of my whinging above: I didn’t watch the Junos, so I have no idea how long Langlois was talking.
@Janet, I don’t think many of us here did watch it live which was one reason I chose to post it
According to the article, Langlois had a long speech. Also, someone must have thought it was a smart idea (Hip music to usher off). Lastly, not that I care a lot — I fell asleep two or three times during the Junos — CTV was broadcasting the Country Awards at a hard nine o’clock ET. —>So…
Bak in 40 my newts.
why do you have 40 newts?
Benoit is late!
Hello fellow newts.
Hi DBS
My newts are longer.
I stopped at a second store, in a different area. I was lacking a few basic foods (homous, pita, chicken thighs for some kind of premeditated curry), so having taken the car (it is PISSING down, and 2 whole degrees, with still snow most everywhere), I bought food enough to help me sustain a siege.
Because of course one should.
Newt Pornographers
Russ: I wonder who in the group would like / dislike that riffname? I like!

Points for naming the location
They do flash the answer, don’t they? I’ll leave it non-spoiled for now.
So it does *facepalm*
Carl Newtman, I imagine.
Bahaha!
I enjoyed these exchanges.
what about Olivia Newt and John?
All good!

Did I stun the blog again?
Apparently.
I guess everyone needs to have a talent, I just wish this wasn’t mine
Whatcha gonna do?
I’m thinking about giving up and going to bed (mostly in the hope that this dog will stop complaining about me being downstairs)
G’night folks
(Hi Morgana)
Night Garf. 🙂
