New Protest Pop Song & Video!
“ Mount Pleasant “
~ a song about paying rent in Vancouver ~
Phew…! I squeezed this out of the studio just in time to qualify for the 2020 CBC Searchlight song contest.
Help me advance to the next round! VOTING OPENS Tuesday February 4th and you can cast a daily VOTE until Valentine’s Day.
I mean, who doesn’t want to hear an insanely catchy, tongue-in-cheeky upbeat protest tune about the agony of life as a renter in a rapidly gentrifying city? Doesn’t that sound familiar..? Relatable??!
“Property is theft, and prison is my rent cheque…”
Big thanks to Sasha Duncan for piecing together footage of the gentrification war zone that Vancouver has become these day.
