Musick Waaaaste
Music Waste, Vancouver’s grass roots independent music, art and comedy festival is fast approaching. Excited? we are. Let’s keep Vancouver awesome and make this years something worth of rioting over. Locals and out of towners, this is the shizz, apply. come and party with us.
Here’s a message from our Music Waste friendz!
Hi Friends,
Send your musical submissions to the aptly named email address: submissions@musicwaste.ca
Music Waste will run June 2nd – 5th, 2010.
Just send a link to your Myspace page and a few pleasantries. Maybe a contact name and phone number.
We don’t need to see any press photos or stupid EPKs. Seriously, we don’t give a shit what you look like standing in an alley against a brick wall or how your band met. It was probably at the mall in line buying jeans at Randy River, wasn’t it? Just be honest.
If you’re not in a band, tell your friends. If you don’t have friends, start a band and take a press photo in an alley. People love people who take photos against brick walls. Take our word for it.
Love you,
MW Team

the interview show: Justin BUA
Justin BUA is the #1 living selling artist amongst college students around the world. His art, like his most famous poster, “the DJ” (above), hangs in as many dorm rooms as that Audry Hepburn portrait or that Bob Marley photo.
Collector’s of his art also include Bill Clinton, Robert De Niro, Will Smith, Alicia Silverstone, Christina Ricci, Mark Wahlberg, Whoopi Goldberg, and many more in the music and movie communities.
He was in Toronto for his first Canadian exhibition at the LISS Gallery on Nov. 21st and we caught up with him for a chat. If you are in TO, head to the LISS, if you are everywhere else, check out his work here.

SWARM
Flores went to NYC last month and I forgot to tell him that the art world closes down for 3 months every summer. Artists have been finding finding ways around it, like exhibiting in the Hamptons where all the Manhattanites go to vacation.
Vancouver did its best this summer with the Drawn Festival. Thankfully everything is getting back to normal starting this week with SWARM, the annual art gallery crawl. Check out their website for full schedules. And remember, it’s FREE!
Powell Street Festival
Heyheyheyhey! The 33rd Annual Powell Street Festival is this weekend. Vancouver’s celebration of Japanese Canadian arts, culture and heritage. It’s at a temporary new location, @ Woodland Park (just off Commericial & Venables) as the regular site is under construction for the Olympics.
Not to be missed is the Rhythm Clash performance. They killed it last year and are back again Sunday, @ 2pm featuring No Luck Club (on keyboard, laptop, turntables) and Total Constructive Interference taiko with Naomi Kajiwara also on taiko drums and Alcvin Ramos on shakuhachi flute.
+++Food, musical/dance performances, martial art demos, arts/crafts + the legendary sumo tournament!
Check out other highlights of the festival here or take a gander at the full sched of events.

Jeff Koons
Jeff Koons is showing in London for the first time, at Serpentine Gallery.
He famously made this sculpture of Michael Jackson and Bubbles in 1988.
His website is pretty awesome. More artists need their own websites. It’s not as common as you might think.
Whoop Dee Doo
Whoop Dee Doo is a fake public access TV show featuring pre-planned performances accompanied by live audience participation based in Kansas City, Missouri.
Jamie Warren is one of the founders. She’s a rad artist.
