endearing records, publishing and harm reduction emporium
@blairendearing.bsky.social
lapsed indie label & publisher, pharmacist in the dtes, dad, he/him, vegetarian: music, beer, beagles, harm reduction, autism, lover of condiments, sometimes delinquent reader and inordinately fond of ellipses...may be funnier in real life (or maybe not).
Overall it was a very emo year…

Just a gorgeous atmospheric show from the Deep Dark Woods at the Fox tonight.
I somehow never had never seen the band live despite repping their first few albums for film and tv some 15 odd years ago…

Spending the day at Pacific Psychopharmacology Conference and excited to see the next presentation on GLP-1s and SUD.
Especially interesting as we might see generics in Canada soon.

Saw the Chicago band Horsegirl tonight and while I expected them to be good, they were even better than I expected live. Will definitely be seeing them every time they tour through.

One of my favourite places to see local bands…especially when there’s such a gorgeous sunset as the back drop.
(Had never seen Avery Sloane before and they were really good as was the first band Bloom Effect).

A gorgeous piece of writing:
Our gaze needs to be down or our eyelids are sewn shut. But I won't stay quiet. I will bite the hand that feeds me until its skin peels off, its bones break off, and all the flesh falls by the side… Biting the hand that feeds me is my most political and ethical practice

Soundtracked by Water Damage as the post rock/noise rock/drone was more conducive to concentrating then the in house music

My neighbourhood can be expensive. Lovely vinyl finds including possibly my favourite broadcast album, some dorkish completism at the book store and a belgian quad for the cellar. #vancouver #thedrive #booksky #musicsky

Recentish reads including a reread of Saramago’s playful “Death With Interruptions,” Katherine Shonk’s stories “The Red Passport”, Anna Mehler Paperny’s memoir of suicide attempts “Hello I Want To Die Please Fix Me,” and Kim Thuy’s story of a Vietnamese girl who leaves Saigon for Canada “Ru.” 💙📚

Caught Mairka Hackman live the other night and went from casual fan to huge admirer. Songs that were good on record (Hanging, Yellow Mile) just reached a whole other level live. Fantastic band, 4 vocalists and just a masterful control of the dynamic.
