One of the most anticipated concerts in St. Johns in recent memory is just hours away.

Seven-time Grammy Award winner Alanis Morissette is set to take the stage tonight and tomorrow night at the Churchill Park Music Festival.

The 49-year-old Ottawa-born singer-songwriter rocketed to international fame in the mid-1990s with her breakthrough record Jagged Little Pill, selling more than 30 million copies.

Fans can expect hit after hit from that album alone in the setlist something Morisssette told VOCMs sister station K-Rock wasnt just thrown together.

I think were basically taking everything from the last 25 to 30 years and creating this kind of tapestry of songs that peppers a bunch of different decades, she said. And the order of the songs in the setlist really matters a lot to me, so we put a lot of time when we were rehearsing in making sure that the journey, emotionally, had its own arc.

Morissette says she looks forward to immersing herself in her music, along with the thousands in front of her.

I go in a trance when Im on stage so I always look forward to that, and then we do it together. Its just a giant invitation to feel and think and move. Anything you need.

Opening acts for tonights show, which is sold out, include Newfoundlands own Paige Penney, Montreals Metric and Meg Meyers.

Kellie Loder kicks off the Saturday show with Feist replacing Metric on the bill.

Dining Review: Basil and Bunny in Bristol – Rhode Island Monthly

Posted: at 11:01 am

Bunny Mak and fries. Photography by Angel Tucker

Bristol Industrial Park which also goes by Unity Park has quickly become a hub for independently owned food and drink depots. Anchored by Pivotal Brewing Company and Brick Pizza Co., its a clay, stone and steel neighborhood that declares, in every corner, that happiness always comes down to a good plate of food or a cold pint of beer. And in most cases, the delivery of this rapture comes in a manufacturing plant package: massive ductwork, towering walls of brick, slick concrete floors.

That is, until you get to Basil & Bunny. The plant-based brainchild of Lyslie and Mathiew Medeiros, the cafe-style restaurant looks like youve wandered into Martha Stewarts she-shed, replete with plants, washed in white paint and covered in floral wallpaper. Perhaps its just hyper-oxygenated from all the cascading greenery, but the space is an oasis of good intentions, remaking the American diet one burger at a time.

The inviting interior of Basil & Bunny. Photography by Angel Tucker

There are always two ways to go in a vegan restaurant: strictly vegetables or an appeal to people who refuse to give up fast food. Basil & Bunny has taken the latter approach, reworking drive-thru favorites into a Green Party platform. Burgers ($12-$15) are stacked high and housemade seitan fried chicken is served Buffalo-style and inside a hunny mustard chicky wrap, alongside an array of beer and wine choices (mimosas on Sundays) that define the vegan life as a party in the making.

The revelry takes place in thirty-two indoor seats and an equal number on the patio, all of which are designed like the food to appeal as much in aesthetics as flavor. And the bottom line is that the signature burger, the Bunny Mak, looks like the real thing. More impressively, its at least as good. When it comes down to it, the iconic American sandwich is built on two things: an amalgam of textures and flavors that creates something greater than its parts, and this is offered with both love and regret salt.

Part of what we love about the legends of casual food is that, ironically, the salt dominates everything else and were obsessively drawn back for more. By forfeiting that mainstay, Basil & Bunny leans heavily into the belief that meat is the least important part of a sandwich and its hard to argue with a combo of lettuce, pickles, onions, Fancy Sauce a nod to Step Brothers and cheeze (note the z) that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Kraft slices of yesteryear. To make the metamorphosis complete, there are two varieties of buns (sesame seed and brioche) that are the spitting image of old-school, Wonder-era, golden arches nostalgia.

Of course, some items do snap you out of the fast-food trance. The fries alone ($6) are absolutely contenders. Loaded with cashew cheese, or dusted with Old Bay and house garlic aioli, theyre still mind-bending ($9). Ordered nacho style ($12) with a green bean-laced chili, theyre proof that we are not in Kansas, as we knew it, anymore.

Desserts live somewhere in between the two worlds: full of sugar but always tied to a fruit of some sort. Think MMMBop-Tarts with seasonally rotating flavors, hummingbird cake with banana and pineapple, cake jars layered with passion fruit or lemon bars that jiggle with citric abandon. Its a kinder, gentler pathway to plant-based living, and one that doesnt ask for a forfeiture of culture to make the transition.

Ally Ewing delivering good impression of Brian Harman with strong … – Magnolia Banner News

Posted: at 11:01 am

WALTON-ON-THE-HILL, England (AP) -- There's a golfer hailing from America's south and with a passion for hunting who is running away with the British Open thanks to precise driving and a red-hot putter.

Sound familiar?

Ally Ewing is putting up a good impression of Brian Harman as she goes for a first major title this week at Walton Heath.

The No. 39-ranked Ewing rolled in six birdies in her first 11 holes and shot 6-under 66 Friday to establish a five-stroke lead nearing the end of the second round of the Women's British Open, the final major of the year.

Ewing is delivering a golfing clinic southwest of London three weeks after Harman did the same four hours north of England at Royal Liverpool in the men's event to win his first major championship.

The similarities don't end there.

"I think a lot of people, I wouldn't say they were rooting against him but a lot of people were rooting for other people," Ewing said. "I can kind of attest to that in some sense. But, yeah, certainly happy with where I am through 36 holes."

And then there's the hunting -- the favored pursuit of Harman and something which proved to be a fascination for the British media, who labeled him "Brian the Butcher."

Yes, Ewing confirmed, she also likes to hunt.

"For the most part, my family, my husband and I, we do mostly deer hunting, so venison," she said. "That's most of what we do."

The field will look to hunt down Ewing over the weekend, but it will need her to slow up.

At one stage Friday, she held a seven-shot lead and she felt like she was in a trance when making four straight birdies from No. 6.

"I didn't really even know until I signed my scorecard that I had four birdies in a row," Ewing said, "so I would probably say that stretch from like No. 6 to No. 11 is kind of a little bit of a blur."

There was another birdie at No. 16 before a bogey at the last, after her worst swing of the day on the 18th tee, gave her rivals some hope. Ewing was 10 under overall.

The biggest names in women's golf can't keep up.

Rose Zhang, the American sensation in her first year of pro golf, shot 71 and was nine off the lead.

Celine Boutier, the Frenchwoman who arrived as the hottest player in the game after back-to-back titles including the Evian Championship, also shot 71 and was two shots further back at 1 over for the tournament.

Former top-ranked player Lydia Ko, currently ranked No. 5, made five bogeys in her opening 10 holes and was looking like missing the cut.

Minami Katsu (69) of South Korea and Andrea Lee (68) of the United States were tied for second place, a stroke ahead of Allison Lee (69), Hyo Joo Kim (70) and Lilia Vu (68) with many of the afternoon starters still out on the course.

Review: Weathervanes, EdFringe – Everything Theatre

Review: Weathervanes, EdFringe

Summerhall Lower Cafe Gallery Described as a ritual dance theatre experience, Weathervanes is a groundbreaking piece of performance art that uses live music, human bodies and still life installations to build a magical world. We step into it as we would enter an alternative dimension like in those fantasy films where different species of anthropomorphic creatures populate parallel worlds. Coming from a background in classical studies, for me it feels as if I am part of an epic fable, where people who have sparked the wrath of the gods are transformed in trees with a human soul.…

Part hypnotic performance art, part human installation, walking into the space is like entering a parallel dimension.

Described as a ritual dance theatre experience, Weathervanes is a groundbreaking piece of performance art that uses live music, human bodies and still life installations to build a magical world. We step into it as we would enter an alternative dimension like in those fantasy films where different species of anthropomorphic creatures populate parallel worlds.

Coming from a background in classical studies, for me it feels as if I am part of an epic fable, where people who have sparked the wrath of the gods are transformed in trees with a human soul. Or even, an enchanted forest with captive fauns and nymphs, as such the naked dancers look, fluctuating ever so slowly on mirror-clad pedestals, surrounded by fog or quietly running water. They hardly move, immersed in a state of trance. I cautiously approach them as I would wild animals in their natural habitat, wary not to disturb them.

The dreamlike sensation is reinforced by meditative music produced live using traditional instruments from the Far East and profound vocals that sound like a chant.

A thick mist gathers on the floor, making its surface increasingly less visible. Encouraged to walk around the rooms, I feel subjected to the same spell. I sit on a bench and I notice some headsets right next to me. I put one on and a voice is telling me to be like a cloud an invitation to be in deep connection with nature.

This is the sort of performance that everyone will experience in different ways, as so much of it is left to interpretation. It is aesthetically pleasing, intensely comforting, whilst also challenging us to find meaning in what we see.

Devised by multidisciplinary artist Jian Yi, the work is intended to adapt equally well to an urban setting, using pre-existing architectures. In Edinburgh, it is presented at Summerhall as a part of the Made in Scotland Showcase 2023.

Artistic Director: Jian Yi Produced by: Journey to the East Productions

Weathervanes plays at EdFringe 2023 until 27 August, at Summerhall. Times vary. Further information and bookings here.

Calvin Harris and Sam Smith share video for new collaborative … – DJ Mag

Posted: at 11:01 am

Calvin Harris and Sam Smith have released a video for their new collaboration Desire.

The pair's latest link-up, which dropped last month, now comes with visuals featuring Smith singing in a car wearing racing overalls, with drag racers zooming around.

It's the third collaboration between Harris and Smith following Promises in 2018 and Im Not Here To Make Friends from Smiths 2023 album, Gloria.

Desire debuted in the UK Top 20 charts last month and peaked at number 12. It's garnered 18 million streams globally.

The track follows Harris' Number One hit with Ellie Goulding, Miracle, which found the Scottish DJ exploring his love of '90s trance.

Released in March, the single marked the first collaborative track between the two in almost a decade, having first collaborated on I Need Your Love in 2012 before releasing another joint track, Outside, in 2014.

Harris is currently in the final weeks of a summer residency at Ushuaa Ibiza.

Exclusive Single Premiere: Wandering Blind "Only A Matter Of Time … – the AU review

Posted: at 11:01 am

Were stoked to be premiering an absolute earworm today. Only A Matter Of Time is from Gold-Coast duo Wandering Bird, and will be released on all digital platforms tomorrow.

The track is a captivating blend of pop and indie rock. It is deftly constructed, from the opening guitars to the trance-like repetition of the Only a matter of line, meshed with an edgy rhythm section that builds the mood to a crescendo. This is intoxicating indie rock, with a generous helping of electronica coupled with some tantalising drum machines.

About the track, the band writes:

The song is about fate and the whole process around it. It was at a time in life where I was hopeful of my future, but realised I had to reach for it myself. At the same time I have a weird installed belief in pre-determinism, so I was viewing it from a if fate allows it perspective. Its a lot of musing on autonomy in our own lives and how we all have this thing of looking forward into the future. I like writing about time, I think its the most innate thing we all experience. I also used some religious symbolism mixed with personal symbolism to create a sort of prayer without the faith. That goes under the more worldly experience lyric in the chorus at the end, blurring the lines between the personal and omniscient.

Fans of Mancunian legends New Order and local heroes Underground Lovers should find plenty to love in Only A Matter Of Time. Give this one a couple of listens and youll be singing the chorus for days.

The duo is comprised of Jack Holt (vocals, guitars, bass and synthesizers) and Kyle Thompson (drums and percussion). Theyve released a handful of tracks since their debut in 2021, including Candidate, Rain & Snow and Oh Well.

You can pre-save Only A Matter Of Time HERE, and in the meantime, enjoy exclusive premiere.

You can give Wandering Blind a follow on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok

Probably riding my bike, taking photos and/or at a gig. Insta: @bruce_a_baker
