VIDEO: K-os "Away Tour Diary", "Stadium Love" + soundcheck footage
From A Story No One Told
“Just had two days off. We have 3 more shows then break for the Juno’s in St. Johns. Michigan State was glorious! Always more of the same different thing, there are very few who know the music we play. Transforming stone faces into smiling faces has to be the most fun i have had in years. I was thinking about it.. and i really like the term ’supporting act’.
Supporting Drake I feel there is much room for chicanery and subversive text in the 40 minutes i am on stage. Tricky energy connecting with his crowd and showing them a kind of introverted love… i can’t be too eager i don’t think..
A lot a girls in the front row waiting to see this dude.. it is so outrageous, ostentatious but VERY real and ‘inspiring’, having said that living on a bus is heavenly as the spring turns to summer last night we recorded music in the back lounge the results of that session will soon be blasted into the ether.
k.“
Can’t wait for this tour to come into Toronto. Apparently Soxx did a date with them in Orlando (hopefully some footage surfaces).
More tour clips after the jump, including a cover of Metric’s “Stadium Love” (shouts to rb on the clarity!).
Actually thats a cover of Metric’s tune “Stadium Love”. You fail at any Canadian music aside from hip-hop.

Lol! And if we actually claimed to cover (or even be super knowledgeable on) the Canadian indie scene the term ‘fail’ might apply, but clearly we (as you alluded to) deal with hip-hop (more specifically, the Toronto urban scene).
Ironically, your thinking or even indirectly implying anything but that with your comments is a much more accurate definition of a ‘fail’.
Pointless slighting aside, this is still a new version of the song.. done by K-os.
The extra clarity you gave on the origin of the song however is duly noted and definitely appreciated by us and everyone checking this blog.

I meant if you want people from other genres acknowledging Canadian hip-hop you gotta respect the other genres right back.
