Unsigned Canadian Folk Artist Sending Album to Anyone - For FREE

An independent Canadian artist called Driftwood is sending a brand new record "MONSTERS" to anyone who wants it, anywhere in Canada, FREE of charge.

Driftwood Jammin' with a Didgeridoo

Driftwood, led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Josh Wood (Left), has a raspy, folky, chillin' and unique sound that remains true to the great white north. If I had to compare him to anyone it would be the legendary Tom Waits, with Wood's raspy voice and experimentation with different instruments and sounds.

The brainchild started in St. Catharines, Ontario, before moving on to the woods of Kananaskis, Alberta, where the album "MONSTERS" was recorded.

Taken from a Driftwood event page on Facebook, this is Driftwood's vision:

hey everybody. i would like to try something, and if it leaves me broke i will have succeeded.....i recorded an 8 song album in my residence room A20 in Kananaskis Alberta sometime between 11/09 and 05/10. i would like to mail this album to everyone who wants it, free of charge and no shipping cost. just send your mailing address to driftwood.music@live.com and it'll be there soon! if you would like to donate, please give it to someone less fortunate than you....PASS THIS ON....// in the mean time check out "the hunger" and "the digger" from the new album "MONSTERS".....cheers!!

For a sample of the music as well as a video of a live performance, visit the Driftwood MySpace page at  http://www.myspace.com/throwsomebricks

Hope you enjoy Driftwood as much as I do, and help support an excellent vision and excellent cause for supporting new music in Canada!

Cheers,

Letter to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario

Dear the Liquor Control Board of Ontario,

Why must you torture us?

We know you let us off the hook with the drinking age being 19 compared to the U.S.A.’s age of 21, but this does us little to no good when the price of even our home-brewed alcohol costs almost as much as it does in Dubai. How can a case of Molson Canadian (Brewed in Toronto and all over Canada) cost $20.00 less as an import in the United States then it does in the Beer Store a block away from where the beer is brewed? This is unbelievable. Not that we are raging alcoholics here in Canada and need cheap alcohol on a day to day basis, but when you are a struggling student making an average wage of $10.00 an hour, $37.95 for a case of domestic beer is far too much. Is this some sort of government conspiracy, trying to up the price in booze to down the number of alcoholics? Well that doesn’t work. If we’re going to drink, we’re going to drink.

Another problem is that we have been taught to support our local economy – well it feels almost insane to buy a case of beer in my hometown of St. Catharines when I can make a half an hour drive to the Tops Grocery Market in Lewiston, NY and pick up a 30 pack of whatever I want for a whopping $17.99. (And duty is only charged on multiple cases of beer, they let you go with just one.) And to think, “buck-a-beer” is such a deal here? Yeah, great deal! $26.95 for a case of let’s say, Carling, a beer that literally tastes like piss and in fact, is actually a little more than a buck a beer. What about the fact that Ontario is one of the few provinces that you cannot buy beer in a corner store, another ridiculous, unnecessary inconvenience that we have to put up with as Ontarians. C’mon LCBO, stop trying to monopolize our alcohol sales! We know you can afford to sell your alcohol for cheaper prices, now stop ripping off the hard-working citizens of Ontario and let them kick back, relax, and find comfort in knowing that the ice-cold delight they are about to toss back did not cost them half a day’s work.

Sincerely,

Jeff Blay
