so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

So the Wavelength Winter Festival starts on Feb. 27, just 10 days away… but that’s not what I’m here to talk about today! Feb. 27 is ALSO now Election Day here in Ontario. .... Read the whole post here: www.jonnydovercourt.com/news/ontario...

I sincerely hope this costs Ford the election. Never forget, criminal Conservative grifters protect each other. globalnews.ca/news/1099729...

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

1/ Trump’s presidency should be a wake-up call for Canadians. His chaotic leadership is just one symptom of a deeper problem—an outdated winner-take-all electoral system. Let’s not assume we’re immune. 🧵

I cannot wait for this. #TeamSecUnit

Call for musicians! The @musicvotesontario.bsky.social coalition is looking for musicians to participate in three actions coming up the following three Saturday in ridings around Toronto. Also looking for someone to assist with doing sound. 🎶 🗳️ 🔊 Sigh up here: bit.ly/musicvotesONcall

🚨 BREAKING: 68% of Canadians want to make every vote count! 🚨 A new poll confirms overwhelming support for proportional representation. Will the next Liberal leader listen? 📢 Make your voice heard! Tag your MP, share this post & demand action! Read more here: www.fairvote.ca/03/02/2025/n...

Going to tell Trump this is Canada’s Fentanyl Czar.

He blinked. 2 days ago Donald demanded our nationhood as the price of peace. Then we hit with $125bil in counter tariffs and pulled American products off the shelf. So now he settles for a fentanyl czar. Canada shows the world how to stand up. But this is ain't over. Don't drop your guard.

Support Canadian alternatives!

Worth a read.

This… is a really good idea. 🇨🇦🔬

Just pledged. Seems like the right thing today on this strange and auspicious February 1st.

I miss Carl Sagan (1934-1996). From Cosmos to Contact, in books and on screen, his intellectual work has had a profound impact on me. In these days of embraced anti-intellectualism, his books should be revisited.

10 years ago WL ran a Pop-Up Gallery for a month on College Street to mark our 15th. It was a Time. Now we’re celebrating our 25th. Time is an illusion (music time doubly so).

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

This is concerning. www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/study-82-of-...

Highly recommend the Broken Social Scene doc by Stephen Chung which had its 🇨🇦 premiere last night at the Bloor Cinema. Really recaptures that rocket ride of the early aughts here in Toronto. Screens again tonight at 6 for those in town, be there. hotdocs.ca/whats-on/fil...

I’m a lifelong NDP voter. I just registered to join the Liberal party to help them choose a leader who has a hope of preventing a PP majority. It took 2 minutes and cost nothing. Deadline to register is Monday. liberal.ca/register/

Just Announced: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum @sgm2024.bsky.social (Oakland, CA / “the most gloriously unclassifiable American band in existence”) + Dastgâmachine (Toronto / Persian psychedelic dub) Wavelength Music Series May 14 @ St. Anne’s Parish Hall Tickets: bit.ly/SGMtoronto

I was lucky enough to be at this show - booked by Ryan McLaren or Kevin Parnell in the days when we had rotating curators at WL - and it was pure joy. Set the bar for every live Rich experience after that!

In the early 2000s, controller.controller's dance-punk movement made them a stand-out in Canada’s indie-rock scene. The prolific group is back again to celebrate Wavelength's 25th anniversary. Catch controller.controller on Night 2 of WL Winter Fest⬇️ Feb 28 @ St. Anne’s Parish bit.ly/WWF25night2

"Catch four planets — Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars — in the evening sky. With good binoculars, Uranus and Neptune also become visible. It's not rare to have multiple planets in the sky at the same time, but it's uncommon for the four brightest to be so well-placed and accessible."

We're always looking for that one big ideas, but what about 25 small ideas? If you're a local/DIY music booster you're probably doing most of these already but this is still worth a read: www.drownedinsound.org/25-ideas-to-... @drownedinsound.bsky.social

Just donated to the GoFundMe in support of Tim Darcy (of the great bands Cola and Ought) and his partner Amy and pupper Zuzu, who lost their home in the L.A. wildfires. gofund.me/3b328ffb

Wavelength is on Bluesky!

Hello, Bluesky. For my first post, I'm pleased to share this op-ed I penned for @streetsoftoronto.com on the state of Toronto's small venues & their scrappy survival, looking at the success of the UK's @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social creating new means of support. streetsoftoronto.com/where-legend...
