TY @a_zweig @PrimitiveDocs for the poster of 'Records' which I was featured in! Also if you saw the film and are wondering "WTF is Italo-Disco?" well here's five hours of me DJing Italo records live on a Condesa Carmen V mixer and TO's best sound system! soundcloud.com/automatic-amo…

Thank you Colin! You can also stream Records on tvo.org and ROKU @TVOdocs @tvo @a_zweig

If you're a vinyl junkie like me, you'll get a kick out of Alan Zweig's new doc "Records", a @TVOdocs original. youtube.com/watch?v=aHZzZvSV…

"I feel like you can't look at the lake and tell it a lie." In the @cbcarts series Writing the Land, authors like Catherine Hernandez (@theloudlady) talk about how the landscape around them has inspired their work, like Catherine's latest novel Crosshairs.
