Broken Social Scene guitarist to play one-off free showcase in London, this Wednesday
Hey! You like Broken Social Scene, right? Their self-titled LP, released earlier this year was a rather splendid amalgam of genres, textures and vocals.
Jason Collett, vital guitar-shaped component of the supergroup and 'lynchpin of the Toroto music community' hits the UK shores an exclusive tiny showcase, this Wednesday.
His solo album, Idols of Exile was made album of the week in the Sunday Times BUT yesterday and is released (through City Slang/Arts & Crafts) on March 27th. You can, of course, expect to see a review on these hallowed pages in the very near future.

Andrew > Jason
the intro of that song sounds...
... a lot like Disarm by Pumpkins.
or am I just deaf?
I saw him in Paris
with Field Music a couple of weeks ago (a Cooperative Music night), and he really impressed me. Some people around me described him as "just another boring singer-songwriter", but he's got brilliant lyrics, and I thought the performance was rather special. I haven't heard him on record, but he's a definite scholar of the Neil Young school of songwriting. And he's a better singer than all the poeple that sing on the BSS record.
I got
there last night just as Jason Collett was leaving. *sad*
