Located beside Creekside Student Residence @ 796 Main St. Owner Vincent Fodera won’t sell the corner lot to developers unless they devote a space to Mr. Hendrix in their high-rise plans : “Those developers, they don’t appreciate that they would have to spend quite a bit of money on art.”
“The shrine would be underneath, with a high-rise on top.”
Personally, Jimi deserves a little better than astro-turf and bed-sheets, non? How about a nice plaque? Hologram?

“I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old too fat or too slim. Too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun of you on account of your bad luck or hard traveling. I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood.” Woody Guthrie

This is why I like gig posters. Looking through older pics I came across this from last month: Tennis apparently performed with Wild Belle. Natalie Bergman & Elliot Bergman are the two halves of the ball-and-chain crew Wild Belle. Kinda Lily Allen meets SIA meets Santigold meets iamamiwhoami. but not.

Their new album TOO YOUNG TO BE IN LOVE is about as out as their lead singer Seth Bogart. Visit their Myspace page for free music and concert dates here. See Seth’s enviable slim figure in Italian Vogue right about here.
Personally, Iron Maiden makes Kiss seem about as evil as dryer lint.
They can start out all folk-ballad and you’re like “Huh? Wuzzafuh?” and by the end you’re either crying on your iphone calling mom or doing an epic swan-dive off the back porch into the hot-tub. Both are O.K. (she’s just happy to hear from you). Watch their 1981 Canadian debut concert in Toronto on YouTube and my favorite: Flight of Icarus.
