DJ Notes

02) Said the Whale – “Goodnight Moon”
03) Hannah Georgas – “The national”
04) Missing Starla – “Girlfriend in a Coma (III)”

The show starts with AOL’s new music video song “Dance Sequence.” What a groovy video, if you haven’t seen it click here.
Acres of Lions are in action locally on Saturday the 14th when they support the Armchair Cynics.
I tell the story on the podcast about my daughter Madelyn’s current obsession with book the “Goodnight Moon.” She is not the only one, Said the Whale wrote a song inspired by the book (and its not the only literarialy inspired song on the podcast this week… how smart).
Hannah Georgas wrote a song about The National! I *heart* The National so I had to hear this song. So pretty. what a gem.

Missing Starla finally heard an old podcast I did where I told the story about their name. Victor sent me an email:
(…) The first is a slow mellow song called Girlfriend in a Coma Part III. It’s a song inspired by Douglas Coupland’s Book called, Girlfriend in Coma, which was inspired by the Smiths song: Girlfriend in a Coma(hence the part III). What’s also interesting about this song is that it is in a contest on ourstage.com and is riding in 15th out of 593 entries. So, if people want to go and vote for it or other independent artists they can do so at http://www.ourstage.com (…) Awhile back on your show you talked about the band Missing Starla and how they got their name. It seems we share a link: Irene and Derrick have come to some of our earlier shows ha!. We wanted to thank you for mentioning us on your show. Sorry, it took so long we recently got word that there was a blurb about us at the Zone through Franco.
If you are interested we would love to do a feature with you or be involved somehow with your show. Here is a link to our webpage: http://www.missingstarla.com
Presently, we are playing a show in Langley on the 12th, back in Vancouver for the 28th at the Yale and real soon going to start working on a new record.
Once again, thank you so much for that blurb, we appreciated it and I hope we can work together one day soon.
All the best,
Missing Starla

and show ends with a classic Vic indie rocker, Porchlife. Wow, my email from Nick the Viking sums this up best:
the sound on the demos is ok, i’m sure you’ll cringe at the live stuff though.
the band was made up of Steve Baker, vocals (still doing music, just not publicly much unfortunately – has a killer voice!) – Ted Gowans, guitar (now Tegan and Sara)- Dono Rush, bass (now hitting the charts on Kool FM with Santa Clara) – Cory Monteith, drums (some actor or something I think…haha)
it was recorded in 2001 and I think the demo tracks were done by Adam Sutherland back when he was in Limestone! crazy.
enjoy man.

Hey I meant to comment on this post a while back. I saw Hannah Georgas open for Jeremy Fisher in Vancouver earlier this year. She can sure sing! I’m hoping for big things from her in the future.
Hannah sounds so good!
