Hi Everyone! It's been a while since the PiNG has presented a show in<br>
a nice comfy bar with good food and fine beers (Nia at C'est What?!!) -<br>
so I've booked 3 terrific sound-artists to create the scapes & grooves<br>
for a Tuesday night at the Central in the Annex. Located right beside<br>
Honest Ed's and Suspect Video at 603 Markham St, the Central has<br>
all of the above + an intimate main-space to immerse yourself in the<br>
performances + a connected room to reconnect with your friends<br>
at the PiNG + a sweet patio out front for smoking and chilling.<br>
Mark June 24th on your calendars now - we're really looking forward<br>
to seeing everybody again! ~ Cheers, Scott M2<br>

ping things is proud to present its second net label release!<br>
"The Perfect City" by Phil Ogison (ptnr002) is a sparkling<br>
collection of music that captures the essence of the metropolitan<br>
ideal, painting an aural picture of a bright future in a utopian<br>
lifestyle. A fine example of melodic ambience, "The Perfect City"<br>
is a stunning disc from start to finish. Phil's guitar work throughout<br>
is a study in ambient beauty, emotive fretwork that is by turns<br>
elated, pensive, mournful and more.<br>
<br>
"The Perfect City" by Phil Ogison is available for free download<br>
from <a href="http://www.pingthings.com/PTlabel.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pingthings.com/PTlabel.htm</a> as a 104Mb Zip file<br>
