*This will never be like the old EatKS.
There will be shows, weird nonsense and my beloved No Pants Record Store Shopping posts.
I have missed sharing my music journeys with you but this is a small version of what I used to do.
And I have finally come to terms with that a little is better than nothing.


No Pants Record Store Shopping Selections
When I check out a Bandcamp I listen to more than one track and try to check out their social media pages. I don't tolerate xenophobia in any form. All the links are hyperlinked to make it easier for you to check out music! If you say that there isn't good music out there anymore , then it just means you are not looking hard enough! Happy music hunting! Many thanks to all the twitter accounts that see the value in supporting the hashtag by tweeting their own music picks or retweeting and liking their favourites. Remember it costs you $0 dollars to tweet or retweet a band's links to buy their music and your small effort means there is a better chance for that band to break through the internet noise.
No Pants Record Store Shopping July 2020 Edition
Bandcamp is once again giving their portion of sales to the artists so here is a list of bands picked by music fans for music fans. If you don't have the cash to buy music you can simply help spread the word of these or your favourite bands on your social media platform, that costs you nothing but a small amount of time ;)
Thank you to the following twitter peeps for help spreading the word by retweeting the hashtag!

No Pants Record Store Shopping Juneteenth Edition
Bandcamp is donating their portion of the sales to the NAACP an important grassroots organization that supports the advancement of rights of people of colour. Here are the tweets put out by music fans in support of the NoPantsRecordStoreShopping Marathon this week.Two twitter accounts received one of two $30 Bandcamp Gift Cards for tweeting out duing the Marathon! AND on top of that will all the twitter accounts that retweeted the hashtag or took part in the hashtag I was able to add $15 to my donation to Toronto Black Lives Matter for a total of $75. I know that in these times maybe you don’t have the money to donate, but you can also donate your space on social media platforms by promoting music, art, businesses that are from and by blacks and POCS. That takes no money, just your time. And right now, we all have a little more time ;)

May 1st 2020 No Pants Picks
Bandcamp will continue to my favourite place to purchase music for many reasons. Bandcamp has now waived their fees twice to help support the bands, artists and record labels during the COVID19 Pandemic. Bands can't do shows, people are reluctant to buy via record labels because of shipping costs.
This is where NoPantsRecordStoreShopping makes even more sense now!
I know that there are many out there that refuse to buy digital and say it's not the same thing. But if you are using a streaming music, you don't have a valid argument! I follow a lot of record labels on Bandcamp which means my inbox is flooded with TONS of releases. It's hard to keep up. before getting into my picks for this months tweet session of NoPantsRecordStoreShopping check out the list Bandcamp created.

A pay-what-you-want single worth picking up — the amazing & prolific force that is Nolan Potter, hot on the heels of an album on Castle Face Records w/his Nightmare Band, this one is fun & unexpected in the best possible ways!
Dog Breath, In the Year of the Plague, by Nolan Potter nolanpotter.bandcamp.com
Speaking of prolific AND Castle Face Records, (Thee) Oh Sees have a new one, called Protean Threat, to be released on Sept 18. There’s not much that I can say that hasn’t already been said about these legends.

I just learned about Saskatoon, SK’s Dump Babes & I’m glad I did. Melodic and dreamy psych with a touch of grit and twang, this self-titled EP from back in February is great summer listening!
Dump Babes, by Dump Babes dumpbabes.bandcamp.com
As noted, I’m a sucker for psych, garage & surf-inspired rock. I’m also a sucker for multilingual songwriting. Madrid’s The Parrots hit the mark for me — y tal vez pa’ ti también? Their new one, Los Niños Sin Miedo, is a banger
