This week in music was overwhelmed by fireworks and bbq's on decks and long-weekend trips...but the Celebration of Light/The Shore knew how to fix that by having Jon and Roy and then Dan Mangan play on Sunset Beach pre-explosions in the sky.

Jon and Roy provided a chill-beachy dance party, and Dan Mangan produced an overwhelming mass of people swaying, screaming and singing back to him.

If you were there (and near the stage) you're probably in my panoramas...so make sure you click the photo(s) to see the bigger version and try to spot yourself. And thanks to everyone who yelled at me to take their photo from the stage or wrote me on twitter after spotting me!

(and now...as per YOUR comments/"mrrr"'s request...)

THIS WEEK IN MUSIC: You will find me at the Biltmore...a LOT. Cancer Bats are playing on Thursday, Woodhands on Friday and I might be convinced to go to the Karaoke night on Wednesday, if for nothing else than the prospect of ice-cold Steamwhistle! (Speaking of which, when are you guys going to sponsor Last Week In Music?). On top of that I'll be trying to catch as many CBC Musical Nooners as I can wake up for...and hopefully make it to Guilt and Company on Saturday to see Prairie Cat!
