It’s a significant date for a number of reasons — let me elaborate on two of them.

First, the new Bicycles record, Oh No, It’s Love, hits shelves today. 19 tracks of long-awaited bubblegum pop are yours to purchase. Alongside the fabulous foursome is an impressive list of guests, including Basia Bulat, Laura Barrett, Dan Werb (Woodhands), Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo), and … me. It is humbling to be included with such amazing musicians! The record is awesome, and you should buy it.

The CD release is this Saturday, October 8 at Lee’s Palace in Toronto, and will feature many guests — Matt Murphy, Forest City Lovers, Green Go, $100, Sebastian Grainger and more. Young Rival will kick off the night.

And of course, today is Election Day in the United States of America. Here’s hoping that the whole world, who is going to be watching this day unfold, will not be disappointed. We know you can do it, America. We’re counting on it.
