Tasty Ears is NOT One of Oprah's Favourite Things!

The above headline is true. That being said, Lululemon is one of Oprah's Favourite Things and (thanks to local artist Zoe Pawlak) a Tasty Ears video is looping in their flagship store on Broadway and Cambie in Vancouver. Here's the video! If you've watched the video you know that the song is Unless it Kicks by Okkervil River. Okkervil River has been slowly leaking songs from their upcoming album (including one on Fallon last week). Below is there newest release called Mermaid, check it. Oh, and... Zoe Pawlak is having an opening tonight for her new show, for more information click here.

EXCLUSIVE! This just in the Arcade Fire has won the Grammy for Album of the Year with The Suburbs. Yep! You heard it here first folks. No, but seriously this is HUGE! An indie band taking an award that typically goes to a Major Label? I think it was Kanye West who tweeted "Does this mean there is hope for music?" Congrats to the Arcade Fire and their label Merge Records, you totally earned it. Arcade Fire are label mates on Merge Records with a band I've been digging lately Wye Oak. Wye Oak has a hotly anticipated new album titled Civilian dropping in a couple of weeks. Check out the title track from the album here.

The other Big News that I'm sure we all know but can't go unsaid is that Radiohead "quietly" tweeted on Sunday night "thanks for waiting" and this link to a website where you can pre-order their new album King of Limbs which will be available Saturday! This is the most retweeted tweet I have ever seen (it was well over 4000 retweets... on Monday).

Superstoked to announce that Tasty Ears has finally hooked up with the Shimmering Stars to do another instalment of On Location. The shoot is this weekend so keep it locked for the exclusive video here.

On Monday night Vancouver Is Awesome hosted a Valentine's Day show at Sitka Surfboards called Get Your Heart On. For those of you paying attention, last weeks Tasty Ears On Location video was part of that series. Well, the show had a great turn out and tons of local artists performed. Great show all, check out all the videos that were made to promote this show or download any of the tracks here at VIA.

Tonight at the Rickshaw theatre is Wavves with Best Coast and No Joy. Should be a rad show as all three bands are, well, rad! Here's a new one from Wavves called TV Luv Song
