When we were in Ottawa, the good people at Zaphod Beeblebrox recorded our set for us and now we have a fine selection of live tracks to offer you. You can get the MP3s a number of different ways:

• Buy them at Amiestreet.com
• If you’re on Twitter, get “War of Ideas” in exchange for one tweet
• Join our Facebook page to get “Happiness vs. Sadness”
• Join our mailing list to get “Dec 25th”

You can also listen to them on our MySpace and CBC Radio 3 pages if you like.

Enjoy!

I Am a Free Speech Zone Dance. Friday, November 27 at Cambrian Hall, 215 E 17th Ave (at Main) Doors 8:00 PM, $10. With Pawnshop Diamond, The SSRI’s and DJ Citizen.
This benefit supports groups fighting the free speech issues surrounding the Olympics in Vancouver next year - such as:

“The city also won provincial approval giving enforcement officials the right to enter private homes and businesses on 24- hours’ notice and remove any offending signs at the owner’s expense…..Signs that mock or disparage Olympic sponsors would also violate the bylaw… the city may ask the court to impose a fine of as much as C$10,000 and six months in jail upon conviction.”

Read the full article, then come out and fight for your right to party on November 27!
