When someone finds out what my profession is, one of the first questions they ask is who is/was your favourite artist to work with. This is usually followed by asking who was the most difficult. A couple of names always come to mind.

I can tell you now that Cobra Ramone rocked, Bellwoods played a great show at The Rivoli and 54.40 did a fine job in The Beach last Saturday night.
(Editor’s Note – This column was originally meant to run last week. It somehow ended up in my SPAM folder and was hidden from sight until Cam sent it to me again with the update above. Here’s the column that was originally slated to be published a week ago today.)

I have many X’s in my life; ex-jobs, ex-clients, ex-wife, ex-etera.
There are not a lot of X bands on my iTunes.
Of course X is there, as are XTC, The XX, Xavier Cugat (yes, really), X-Ray Spex, “Bobcast” house band Xprime and a couple of others I don’t even recognize (via label samplers).
Being a good publicist I can spin an X into anything I want. Here we go.
