BC Day at Touchstones
The road to a friend’s house ...
“is never long” according to a Danish
proverb. However, it can be convo-
luted or winding or all uphill. And if
you put that house somewhere over
in Rosemont with access from a back
lane, well, it can be just plain difficult
to find. What a delight to find sign-
posts along the way. Literally. I went
to have a coffee at a new friend’s
place over in Rosemont. Her direc-
tions included ‘turn up the alley at
the sharp curve in the road’, followed
by ‘take the fork to the left when the
alley veers off’. I know these direc-
tions verbatim as I wrote them down
and was dutifully following them when
I came upon the first sign: “If you
own a great collection of hats, turn
here” (this hand-printed marker was
tacked onto a stick at the curve). “If
you work in a white house, turn here”.
The second marker, likewise staked in
the ground, greeted me further up the
alley. Finally “if your name is Paula,
coffee’s ready”. I felt like a kid follow-
ing clues in a treasure hunt. What a
fun thing to do. I don’t know about
you, but I find ‘fun’ is too often miss-
ing in a day. Plain, simple, FUN. It’s
time for some more of it.
Be-Cause: “Better to die on your
feet than live on your knees”. Right,
wrong or otherwise, I can’t help but
admire three individuals who made
their stand: the airline steward whose
grand exit from his career was made
in support of the point that custom-
ers can be unacceptably demanding
and rude; the Government of Canada
page who found herself escorted from
Parliament after delivering her protest
of Prime Minister Harper and most
recently, the CTV journalist who quit
his career because of his disillusion-
ment with how much attention broad-
casters pay to increasing ratings,
rather than focusing on real issues.
We could all benefit from refusing to
accept the unacceptable.
Yum: Fabulous food to check out in
Nelson and area. Lamb souvlaki pitas
at Wednesday’s Market on Baker
Street. Can’t make it Wednesdays?
What about Fridays from 11:30 a.m.
to 3:00 p.m.? Doug (the go-to guy for
lamb souvlaki) teams up with BIBO at
518 Hall Street where you’ll find him
“grilling up Euro-street style, locally
sourced fare on the patio”.

Whether its Peggy or Don, Joanie or Roger , Betty or Peggy; who-ever you fancy with Mad Men there is always someone to love. For this article I decided that I would do a write up on one of my favorite shows, Mad Men. If you are not familiar with this show, I suggest renting the series and watching it. Mad Men is set in the 1960s, and regularly depicts the chang-ing moods and social ideals of the time. The show is based around an advertising firm in Manhattan, New York and focuses on the lives of the ad men, their secretaries and their functional and dysfunc-tional families. Mad Men does an outstanding job for its historical authenticity and visual style and has won countless awards for the best outstanding drama series. The reason I wanted to do this write up to let you know that in August, Banana Republic will introduce Mad Men inspired cap-sule collection from Mad Men
costume designer Janie Bryant. Let me tell you these pieces are to die for. There will be wiggle dresses, purses and hats, cigarette pants, cardigans and full circle skirts. For the men, SUITS. You will be able to get the recreated 60s suit that looks ever so handsome on. Not to mention ties, fedoras, vests, cardigans and jackets. This is one of the best collections I have ever seen by Banana Republic and I am counting the days until the release. Let’s just say I have my mom on the job in Toronto she has a list of goodies to grab when the collection comes out, Thanks Mom, I love you! Stay tuned for next week. I will be featuring a local Nelson designer. Ooh la la, who will it be?Have a great week, let’s all pray for some sunshine! Ciao for now.

Continuing our Summer Festi-val Guide, the largest and most successful one in our region is Shambhala. Its first outing in 1998 had 500 guests, local DJs, and a modest sound system; now Shambhala Music Festival has exponentially grown into an international sensation, sporting six different stages, world-class talent, 10,000 patrons and a staff of 2000 or more! Conceived by Jimmy Bundschuh, his parents’ 500-acre cattle ranch had plenty of space to expand on his original idea. Every year the cattle are corralled into a corner of the farm, as a small army of staff and volunteers transform each unique area into a feast for the eyes and ears. The Living Room (a.k.a. Beach Stage) is fes-tooned with lanterns and seating areas, as well as the beach itself and tends to play down tempo DJs and live acts. The Rock Pit is the place to go for rock and roll bands, decorated like a truck stop with a circus tent parked in front of it. The Labyrinth (formerly The Portal and/or Inna Sanctum) has been changing over the years, their new stage man-ager combining spiritual flavours of its past with conscious-minded DJs and bands. The Pagoda fea-tures a huge Japanese themed stage, 3D visuals, massive PK Sound System, 80 Watt laser cannon, and some of the biggest DJ names in the world. Winding your way through lit pathways through the trees, The Village is
a party-themed Thunder-dome, with a full circle of raised dancing plat-forms and yet another PK Sound System to rattle your organs. Finally, the most visually astound-ing stage of them all; more lighted pathways bring you to the Frac-tal Forest. with a DJ platform set into 3 massive old growth cedar stumps, lasers and visuals hanging from every tree, and a dirt-shaking sound
system, the Fractal has to be seen to be believed! During the Festival, Sham-bhala becomes the largest city in the Kootenays. Just like a city, it needs sanitation, so garbage trucks and crews roll through the site at least twice a day, as well as service for hundreds of Porta-Potties and the shower facilities. Water is delivered throughout the site via a system that pumps from the Salmo River, through a filtration plant and back out through taps all over the farm. Factor in security, parking, medi-cal teams, ticketing......it’s quite amazing how much planning and resources go into these four days! Best of all, it is free of corpo-rate sponsorship! It is completely funded by ticket sales, so one isn’t annoyingly bombarded by Pepsi and XBox 360 all weekend (Sasquatch Festival, I’m looking at you. Again!) As a Shambhala Veteran (10 years!) I can easily vouch for it being truly one-of-a-kind in the world. Great people, great music, amazing setting. It seems the secret the out - voted Number One Large Festival by DJ taste makers Breakspoll, ti-ckets for this years event sold out months in advance! Maybe I can get a Press Pass or something....

He is called “The Godfather Of British Blues”, with a career span-ning over fifty years and over fifty albums recorded. An almost mythical character in the history of modern blues, a multi-instru-mentalist, and a supreme band leader credited to giving many other famous names their first big break. With an impeccable Blues pedigree, he is the legendary....John Mayall. Beginning a musical career in 1963, Mayall moved to swinging London and seems, in retrospect, to be the right man at the right time. American Blues was just catching on, and soon he had one of the most popular blues bands inthe city. Joining the first incar-nation of John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers was a young bass player named John McVie, the first of many famous players to cycle through the band. Two years later, Mayall recruited a hot young guitar named Eric Clapton, record-ed Bluesbreakers With Eric Clap-ton and the legend began. In the years previous and fol-lowing, soon-to-be-household-names all had a stint in the band: Peter Green, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac), Jack Bruce (Cream), Mick Taylor (Roll-ing Stones), Alan Price (Animals), Harvey Mandel (Canned Heat), just to name a few. Despite get-ting ”long in the tooth”, Mayall shows no signs of slowing down; his latest, Tough, was released last year. The late performance sold out in a flash, but there might be tickets left for the 7:30 show. Don’t say I didn’t tell ya!

Artist Interview:
Chad Hansen of Quick Shot chats with Casey Elliott, vocal-ist/guitarist for Elliott Brood about show at SpiritBar, new album and cow bells.
You guys have been known for bringing out bags of instruments at concerts like wood spoons; any cow bells in the bags? We don’t bring cow bells but people have brought their own recently. We bring pans and spoons, things that make a lot of noise to help with some of the songs and get the crowd involved but no, so far we haven’t brought cow bells but we don’t oppose to people bringing their own.
Has any audience ever gotten so off beat that you actually lose your place in the song? Oh ya, all the time. It all depends on how much people have been drinking. There have been a few times where we’ve gave them out a little early and it’s just been crazy but they are getting better at it. It’s so loud and so crazy and it’s hard to keep up to each other but it’s still a lot of fun.
You have been known to describe your sound as “death country” Can you explain exactly what that is? When we first started people were saying that we were blue grass and country and we didn’t feel like we really fit into that. I think Mark originally came up with the term dark country and it just kind
of made us stand out a bit. It’s a term that came up because we kept getting pigeon-holed into blue grass and real blue grass fans know that we aren’t that.
There aren’t a lot of bands that come from the alt country genre that admit to having metal influences but you guys put an incredible amount of distortion through your acoustic instruments. Have any audi-ences been scared by what you guys do? We may have scared away some older folks at times but I think most times people are intrigued by what they see. My favourite is when people see us for the first time and they see a banjo, an acoustic guitar and drum and it turns into something like a Nirvana song. People are caught off guard. This is just another thing, like everything else in this band that kind of happened by accident. I had this crappy Boss heavy metal petal from when I was young, we were just looking for different sounds and plugged the acoustic guitar into it and that’s when we started using amps.
New album still slated for September? Yep, September 27.
How much of that material is making current set lists? Most of it. We usually play our music before it gets on a record. We’ve been playing some of it for almost eight months now. We work them out on the road, play them live and figure out how we want to record them.
Did you try anything different this time around to capture the live show energy that you guys are really famous for? This record represents what we do live a little more. There is overdubs on the record but most songs are the three of us doing it in a take. It’s probably our most aggressive album by far. It’s the loudest for sure. It has our quietest song and our loud-est song on it.
When you’re sitting down to get into the writing process, are there any thoughts about trying to produce that “hit single” that cracks the charts
and gets you to another level? I don’t think that’s ever conscious. When everyone else likes it, it’s a bonus. I don’t think what we do really fits into what a hit is con-sidered anyways but I do know that a lot of people do enjoy what we do just like we do. As long as we’re proud of it that’s a hit to us. Also radio’s been really good to us, places like CBC, and community radio have really embraced our stuff and given it a chance to be up there with bands like Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers who are kind of in our world who are doing really great. So when bands like them do well it’s good for all of us.
You’ve been known to tell a lie or two, about the origins of the name Elliott Brood, what’s your favourite one to tell?We have variations of him being some kind of mass murderer back from the 1800s and that’s kind of the one we mostly use. There is no definitive one. We kind of ad lib as we go for people who really want to know the true story. The true story is so boring that we like to make it up. My favourite is saying that he is a sneaky kind of Jack the Ripper that no one has heard about so they go research it and can’t find anything about him.
Excited to be back in Nelson?We love playing in Nelson, we always have great shows there. The audiences just have such great energy. We can’t wait to see everone out banging pots and pans at SpiritBar! {laughs}

stories. He lives just around the corner and often visits the shop. From Paddington station we went by train to Oxford. And in Oxford my mom rented a car and in Eng-land you drive on the other side of the road and oh no, I had to get in that car with my mom and risk my life to write this down so the people in Nelson could hear about it! We were driving and my mom decides to hit this truck parked on the wrong side of the road. Well, she just hit the mirror but I flinched and my mom goes “oh Julie, don’t freak out!” Her dri-ving is scary even in Canada, so can you image what it was like for me!!!

LONDON!! Today is our last day in London, England :( But I must say for the ladies reading my article: here in London they have some really hot guys! :) Today at 7:30 pm we are off to SOUTH AFRICA. Whoop whoop! But some interesting facts before we leave: there are over 22,0000 taxis just in London and we have been in, well let’s see, about 22 of them. And there are 38 col-leges in Oxford to make up the whole university. So the other day, after we took one of the 22 taxis to Paddington Station, we saw this little Paddington Bear shop with a whole bunch of little post cards with Paddington bear waving an English flag and other items. The shop is owned by the author of the Paddington

Man tries to repair hernia
Believed to be the most expensive yacht in the world, the entire hull of the 100-foot History Supreme is wrapped in a thin layer of gold. In all, 100 tonnes of solid gold and platinum were used to bling this boat - on the deck, in the dining area, on the railings, the anchor and other accents. It was commissioned by an anonymous Malaysian business-
man, who reportedly paid about the equivalent of $4.6 billion. That works out to about $46 mil-lion per foot. The vessel, which took three years to build, is the handiwork of Stuart Hughes, a jeweller in Liverpool, U.K., who is known for his bespoke luxury items, like a diamond-wrapped iPhone worth about $7.7 million.

A 63-year-old California man tried to operate on his own hernia by cutting open his stomach with a six-inch butter knife, police said Tuesday. The man was apparently frus-trated with the painful medical condition, and took matters into his own hands - alarming his wife, who immediately called 911. “She said her husband was trying to remove a hernia. He was frus-
trated,” said Sergeant Tom Lorenz of Glendale police, east of Los Angeles, after the incident Sunday. “Pending arrival of paramedics, he removed the butter knife him-self,” he told AFP. The man was placed on a psy-chiatric hold.
