This week’s **Space obsession is dedicated to the mysterious Calgarian weirdo Braden Funchner. Braden released a very limited CDR demo distributed to radio stations via CJSW‘s campus-radio-mail-out program initiated by as-of-this-writing Music Director Myke Atkinson. I listened to the demo and promptly found out Braden played his last (and possibly only) show at the 2008 Sled Island music festival (if my memory serves me well). Damnit! Whatever, it’s good stuff. I wish he’d release more. Or maybe even just release something.

OK, I apologize for not posting a review yesterday. I was too busy trying to see Lethbridge’s weird-science-punk marvella Endangered Ape, Calgary’s what-is-going-on-in-that-city Hunter Gatherer, and hobo power-popper Nobunny. All of this spread over two venues and many hours. Endangered Ape and Hunter Gatherer will be coming very soon to a Weird Canada nearest you.
In the meantime I’ll posted my latest **Space obsession. Maybe I’ll even start a “This Week in **Space” for those great bands that don’t have releases yet.
