I was looking for new ideas for playlists and got the suggestion for festivals from our friend Morgana. I liked the idea and am running with it. The first festival I picked was the Canadian Music Week Festival. What a first pick! There are a lot of artists heading to Toronto to play at Canada’s biggest New Music Festival. I have over 200 tracks on the playlist from artists that have been accepted to play.W
The festival will take place in venues across Toronto from May 6-12, 2019, showcasing the talents of musicians from a wide range of genres for both international industry and general public alike. During the day the conference takes place at The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel. Then you can hop from venue to venue in the evening taking in as much great new Canadian music as you can. Check out the playlist to hear who is playing and go to the website to find out more.
What festival will we check out next month? What is your favourite festival?
Good day!
Good Morning
Hi Scott!
Good morning!
Hi, dar!
hello
Wow, that looks like quite the festival!
I’m not often jealous of Toronto, but the number of nifty things the CBC organises there — as compared to mostly nothing here…
@B from O I was thinking it would be pretty expensive/exhausting/fun to live in TO and take part in all the “nifty things”.
It sure has lots of nifty things. Polaris keeps having events there as well I wish I could be at.
I am with my son doing pre-surgery stuff. He has a surgery scheduled for next Wednesday that he has been waiting a year and a half for.
@DBS, Tell him I say hi
@Darbar Relief mixed with trepidation I am sure; wish your boy good luck.
morgana @ 10:10: Yes, muchmuch would have to be let go by, and otherwise, yes.
darbar, all the best come Wednesday!
He says hi back!
Definitely a mix of emotions. It cost him a great role in one of the plays he is working on. He is sick with a cold right now and may have to postpone if he doesn’t feel better soon. It will be great to finally have it done though. Improve quality of life kind of thing once he is all healed up.
Thanks all! Thoughts, prayers and good vibes are welcome.
I am going to take the alphabetical playlist outside and rake/shovel for a short while … as soon as I am not on hold on the phone anymore.
Ah, being ‘on hold’! Sometimes *the* most useless, insulting thing in the world. Like when you end up with a dial tone…
So my neighbour was out doing yard work as well so I opted to listen to the birds. Back on track musically speaking now that I am inside. Still only on “A”, mega music this Friday!
morgana: I agree, sometimes, the best is no music. It’s restful for the mind, none of *that* to pay attention to.
Going on my previous post, I’ve found that when driving, if things become difficult (weather, weird traffic…), I shut off the radio; or if I have a passenger, ask for quiet right now… It does help you concentrate on the most important stuff.
Agreed. Conversely, when I am looking for distraction from mundane tasks music is a must … usually music is s must;)
I do like to just listen to my surroundings when I am outside, other than my vehicle. It is only in the most difficult mental tasks that I will prefer no music.
the birdies were indeed lovely today.
the chores needed tunes to keep me motivated.
new Dan Mangan today to ease my boredom of repetitive tasks
