Dan and Corey will be live on Toronto's Commercial Alternative Powerhouse 102.1 The Edge (us old timers still call it CFNY) this Friday around 6:15 PM to talk about their alleged careers and their "big Toronto show" at C'est What? (also this Friday, starting around 10 PM, with Noyan Hilmi of Five Blank Pages representing for the 905).
This is been a serious life-long dream of Bryk's, as they will chat with Toronto indie music icon Dave Bookman, and have promised not to swear as much as they do on their records. CFNY has a live stream for you out-of-towners.
Through the elfin magic of ISDN (we prefer to think it's "the pixies"), Dan sat down at WUNC's studios in Chapel Hill and had a nice chat with Shelagh, who's in Vancouver. How cool is that?
Other Landis news: in a match that seems blatantly obvious yet wonderfully apropos, Upright Citizens Brigade theater in L.A. is using Corey's demo for See You Next Tuesday as the opening theme for their show of the same name. Go check out their great shows (some of which are FREE).
The song will be re-recorded for Corey's next record, due "around the same time Christ the Lord returns." He said it, we supplied the gratuitous link.
Today at 5 PM EST Bull City are going to be playing a full-on rock show live on the air on 88.7 FM WXDU Durham. Those of you outside of the Durham/Chapel Hill area can listen live on the WXDU.org website.
We realize that this notice is a little late (our bad!) but please tune in if you can! And thanks to host (and Triangle rock guru) Ross Grady for having both Bryk and Bull City on this summer.

Bryk has two Triangle radio interviews booked this month: the first at The Triangle's News and Information Station WPTF 680 ("the home of Rush Limbaugh in the Triangle", no, really) this Saturday July 21 at 10pm, as a guest on the Bob Langford show. We're chatting about the local music scene, etc... not politics! (Sorry, out-of-towners, no webcast, but we'll try to tape it for posterity.)
He will also appear (and perform live) on Ross Grady's WXDU show, Sunday July 29th between 5 and 7. That show will be webcast.
Discount Store entered the WXDU chart at #24 this week, and was a new add last week at WXYC Chapel Hill. It's currently in (and we quote) "heavy rotation" at WKNC.
Finally, here's some early Discount Store bloggery:
