Three Sublime Versions
Yes, Reader, it happened. This week in my hometown the first flakes fell, and everyone got into a tizzy. (Southern Canadians are so easily perturbed by any hint of winter.) And it seemed to take the accompanying wintry winds to enact what much of the rest of the country has already been ho-hum business-as-usual about — the autumn leaves began to fall. Since then they’ve been falling in earnest — neighbours’ houses are suddenly visible, dog walkers idling out front cannot hide the deed of their dog. But on a more poetic note, the falling leaves inspired this week’s Radio 2 Video Festival: three contrasting versions of the classic, Autumn Leaves. Because Eva Cassidy Sings It Beautifully: Because Stanley Jordan Plays It On Two Instruments At The Same Time: (Why? Because he can, I guess.) Because It’s The Classic: (Oh, to be in Paris dancing to Yves, sigh…)
Soundtrack For The Credit Crunch
Norman Lebrecht thinks The Fate Of Music Hinges On A $20 Million Violin. He also thinks that musicians — at least, top flight classical musicians — will weather the “economic crisis” just fine, thank you very much. (I think we need a new term for the “economic crisis” don’t you? How about “chaos” instead of crisis? In response, SNL fans may wish to join me in a hearty cry of “FIX IT!”) Anyway, another response to music and the credit crunch is to listen to Bach’s Cantata 168, and here’s why, according to blogger Paul Lay: “The opening bass aria is a pungent, ardent attack on the money men of 1720s Weimar, around the words Tue Rechnung! Donnerwort! literally ‘Give an account of yourself, word of thunder,’ but sometimes translated as ‘Thine Accounting! Judgment Day!’ The bass vents his spleen amid a swirl of music like a demented broker seeing all his screens turn red, who thrashes around before finally pledging to be a good steward who puts his trust in the lord. ”

Roxanne Potvin On Drive Today
She’s 26, she’s collaborated with John Hiatt, Bruce Cockburn, Daniel Lanois…and today she’s on Radio 2 Drive (3 p.m.-6 p.m.). Her new recording, No Love For The Poisonous, is out this week, thus the timeliness of her appearance on Drive. Speaking of that song, if you go to Potvin’s website you can hear it — actually sounds pretty Lanois-ish to me — and that’s a good thing. For those curious about her b.g., here are a few interesting outside observations: How the bluesy, soulful Ms. Potvin got that way: “…catching young bluesman Jonny Lang on TV was like being hit by lightening Lang led her, curiosity working overtime, to the music of B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters and dozens of others from Howlin Wolf to Aretha Franklin. At 15, she got her first guitar. ‘It was a white Japanese Telecaster,’ she remembers now. ‘It had a buzzing in the strings they couldn t fix, so I returned it to the store, and got another Tele, an American-made cream one that I still play today.’ — Beaches Jazz

Ecodensity: Do you want it in your neighbourhood?
Hundreds of people turned out for a public hearing at Vancouver City Hall Tuesday night to have their say on the mayor’s proposal to transform the city with his Ecodensity plan. Even before the meeting, began the council chambers and the foyer at city hall were packed with people waiting for their turn to speak. Meanwhile, outside many opponents of the plan staged a noisy protest on the front steps. The idea behind Mayor Sam Sullivan’s Ecodensity plan, announced in June 2006, is to spread Vancouver’s rapid population growth more evenly across the whole city, rather than having it concentrated in the downtown core. A major part of the plan is to move away from single-family homes, and densifying all of Vancouver. But, so far there is little public consensus on the plan, with some saying it’s a disguise for developers to build as much as they wish, and other calling it the leading edge of an environmentally-friendly vision of the future. What do you think? Has “Ecodensity” come to your neighbourhood? Does it make housing more affordable, or less livable?
Should Pickton be tried on the 20 outstanding murder charges?
A second trial will not go ahead if the earlier convictions are upheld on appeal. (CBC) An appeal hearing in the Robert Pickton murder case has been tentatively scheduled for nine days in Vancouver starting March 30, 2009. Six issues will be argued in the appeal, including the charge to the jury by B.C. Supreme Court Justice James Williams, in which he said jurors could convict even if they found Pickton didn’t act alone. Pickton was found guilty in December of second-degree murder in the deaths of six women who disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The former pig farmer from Coquitlam, B.C., has also been charged with 20 more counts of murder in similar cases, but B.C’s Attorney General Wally Oppal has said the second trial will not go ahead if the six convictions are upheld at the appeal. Full Story What do you think? Should Pickton be tried on the 20 outstanding murder charges?
Should B.C. seize impaired drivers’ cars?
The B.C. government is looking at its own version of an Ontario law that allows for the seizure and sale of vehicles owned by people convicted of impaired driving. The Ontario law requires drivers who’ve had three impaired driving convictions in 10 years to forfeit their vehicles to the province, which can then sell them. B.C. Solicitor General John Les said he is considering adopting similar legislation for B.C. that could be used against those with an established pattern of driving while impaired. Ultimately, any decision to seize a vehicle would have to be made by a judge in court, said Les. Full Story What do you think? Do you think B.C. should be able to seize the cars of drunk drivers, and sell them?
