Print Edition: January 23, 2013

Aaron Levy is CIVL’s station manager, and though he doesn’t party too hardy, some people are getting back into the swing of that kinda thing for this time of year!

You Say Party! – “You Say Party! We Say Die!”

Abbotsford’s most successful indie rockers definitely know how to rock a local party. They also know how to revitalize and reinvent themselves with samples and loops after the tragic loss of their drummer/friend, Devon Clifford, to whom the brand new release Friend is dedicated. Bassist Stephen is a CIVL DJ!

The Constantines – “Some Party”

Great track with jagged guitar strikes imitating the awkward inappropriateness of the negative behaviour some party goers decide to engage in when their inhibitions are lowered and their morals are compromised.

Andrew Gold – “Thank You for Being a Friend”

Originally rocketing to Billboard #25 in 1978, this theme to Golden Girls is also the title of B.A. Johnston’s second-to-last

Lesley Gore – “It’s My Party”
