When the Music Stopped
It is not just musicians who are idled by the Coronavirus. A whole industry of people who support the live music scene are put on the sidelines too, says industry veteran Joelle May. By Magnus Thyvold
Mingwa - The Strange One
...a great album that really stretches what world music can be, and seamlessly blends many styles of music.
The Shangs - Golden Hits of the Shangs
...the band had another side gig going on all the while. Starting in 1990, The Shangs were a psychedelic pop off-shoot that sound very little like the main project Simply Saucer.
Alex Cuba Sublime
...a great album that will fit fine into Canadian summers lounging around on the beach.

Vancouver's new punk standard bearers Necking, with new album Cut Your Teeth out on Mint Records, rock out on CJSF Radio's Studio 6 Sessions.
By Magnus Thyvold
Vancouver's Necking are punk rock in the surest sense.
Now with a new record out on Mint Records, they are set to take the nation by storm. Already riding high in the !earshot Top 5 (July and August 2019) it seems like their plans for domination are working out well.
Necking have been giging engetically in Vancouver and surrounding areas honing their skills and sounds with gigs nearly every weekend.
Their first release was a cassette EP, Meditation Tape, released in 2017. Now with the support of Mint they have released their debut full length album, Cut Your Teeth. It is kind of a break up album choinicling a turbulent year in the lives of band members. But is also about personal growth, overcoming and finding yourself.
In May, before the record came out, they stopped by Burnby's CJSF 90.1FM for Studio 6 Live Session and interview.
