Rolling Back The Rock

Illustration by David Hynes

There will be no Easter weekend Orbit again this year.

In its place may I suggest watching this. Subtitled from the Italian.

Gorgeous music, thoughtful direction and script straight from The Bible. Jesus - phobes be aware: the director, Pasolini,  was a gay atheist and the lack of sycophancy just magnifies the message.

Sarah MacDougall Between Scenes At Canadian Music Week

A live entre'acte Face To Face with one of the most astute and engaging singer-songwriters in the cosmos as she slingshots into Orbit Friday, near the top of the show (between 5:00 and 5:30).

Known for her balladeering from Moose Jaw to Moosonee and on to Ri-moose-ki, Sarah's The Greatest Ones Alive was one of our favourite releases of last year, much played and discussed: http://www.rootsmusic.ca/2011/08/30/getting-to-know-sarah-macdougall/
