John A. MacDonald Was The Dark Horse

Hi All,

The Besnard Lakes were in town last Wednesday at the Starlite Room here in Edmonton. They were the first of a number of shows that I'm going to this month. DJ Champion lived up to everything good I've ever said about his shows the day after the Besnard Lakes. The next of these series of October shows in Edmonton that I am attending is the New Pornographers. They're in town tomorrow, the 11th.

Here's two tracks from the Besnard Lakes. "And You Lied To Me," was the reason I missed the last train away from downtown. I wanted to stay longer to hear them play it. "You've Got To Want To Be A Star" is 9 killer minutes from the Besnard Lakes' elusive first CD "Volume 1."


And You Lied To Me
You've Got To Want To Be A Star
