Bastard.

oh yeah, Eric... that sounds good for F-9/11. As for eternal sunshine... if you're planning on going the Friday or Saturday I'll only be able to make those 12:30am showings. I'm gonna take a wild guess and presume that's too late for everyone else?

That's some hott shitt regarding Le Tigre!!! I find it strange they're signed with universal... but a new independant Le Tigre label with distro through Touch n Go (blonde redhead's label!!!)??? Now THAT'S good news.

Speaking of fags...

For that photo shoot that's gonna be on the cover of SEE Magazine this Thursday... I'M SITTING NEXT TO ONE!!! haha. Yeah, I felt bad for him. His name's Dan and I know him from BINGO... and he came by himself and nobody was talking to him and he looked so lonely. I'm sure the people there were a fairly progressive bunch and I don't think it was because he was gay that they didn't talk to him. I presume it's just because nobody knew him. But either way, he probably feels lonely enough just on account of his sexual orientation on a pretty regular basis. Yesterday I felt like I made a great achievement in conquering my homophobia and just being a friend to him. GO ME!!!

But on the other hand thank goodness I didn't wear my pink shirt like I was originally going to. Kuz then I would've looked gay sitting next to him in HIS pink shirt. FUCK.

That was a close one.

Well folks, we've got a long way to go. Some tasty picks on the worst films of the 20th century include Stop or My Mom Will Shoot (10%), Barb Wire (29%), and Cool As Ice (14%), the Vanilla Ice cinematic masterpiece.

i owns dis muthafucka! now for some cool shit from the Village Voice.

Foreign Strippers Must Submit Photo
Josh Pringle
Tuesday, July 27, 2004

Foreign strippers planning to dance in Canadian clubs must now provide photos of themselves with no clothes on to qualify for a visa for Canada.
The Canadian Embassy in Mexico says "stage photos during performances are required.''
Immigration officers are having to pore through naked pictures of hundreds of exotic dancers to keep imposters out of Canada.
In a memo to fellow visa officers around the world, officials say if a dancer passes the no-clothes test, they may then require a police certificate or medical examination.

Le Tigre Sign to Universal, Ready New Album

Yet cover art will mysteriously appear to show three hirsute young men
Micah C. Harding reports:
Le Tigre, Kathleen Hanna's post-Bikini Kill trio of abrasive feminist synth-pop, will throw another sucker-punch at patriarchy this year with the release of their upcoming album, This Island. Set for release on October 19th, Le Tigre's third full-length breaks a three-year studio silence since their sophomore album, Feminist Sweepstakes, was released in late 2001. However, since Le Tigre's career-long label and home Mr. Lady has recently "officially unofficially" announced plans to cease operations, This Island will be released via the hydra-like Strummer/Le Tigre/Universal instead. A tracklist, for the ladies (yeah) and the fags (yeah) the band with the rollerskate jams (yeah):

01 On The Verge
02 Seconds
03 Don't Drink Poison
04 After Dark
05 Nanny Nanny Boo Boo
06 TKO
07 Tell You Now
08 New Kicks
09 Viz
10 This Island
11 I'm So Excited
12 Sixteen
13 Punker Plus

Along with the new full-length, and presumably due to the demise of Mr. Lady, Le Tigre are planning to reissue their entire catalog via their very own and very new Le Tigre Records, which will be distributed by the Chicago-based indie Touch & Go. The albums in question include Le Tigre, At the Desk of Mr. Lady, Feminist Sweepstakes, and Remix. The new bonus/enhanced releases are scheduled for release on August 24th, and will all contain previously unreleased material along with unseen video footage.

Finally, though they were scheduled to play at Lollapalooza this year, Le Tigre have not scheduled any dates in lieu of the cancelled traveling behemoth. And our fingers thank them for that.

um, Ed, are you serious?

ECOS (in short) is the Environmental Coordination Office of Students (where I work). We're a service of the Students' Union that works towards tying all interested parties in the campus community together over common goals (faculty, administration, student groups, the student body at large, and the greater community as well) of sustainability and environmental issues that affect us here on campus.

We're working for and in the interest of students to develop programs and projects around issues that they bring up - such as the upcoming waste audit of SUB (to see exactly how much we're wasting, and where we could reduce that waste). As someone put it yesterday, ECOS is on campus to help us reduce our waste, and in turn reduce the things that cost us more in tuition (like electricity, water and materials consumption) so that the money we're paying could go towards more than just the energy bill... like maybe smaller classes, or better/more professors (and within the SU, that'd mean more money to work on projects that affect students, or that will benefit students).

We're also working on projects that have more direct benefits to the student body, through the volunteer opportunities, or the effects it will have. In this area, there are projects like U-Pass development (which I'm actually working with the VP External on), other SU policies, and activities like the Peregrine Falcon Project to put a webcam up in the nest box and share endangered species education with the campus and greater community. We have lots more projects, but I already feel like an advertisement, and I don't ever want to end up "preaching" to my friends (any more than I already have).

shit. i just got served.
anyways, how's 9:20 for the WENZ-DEE showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 down at City Centre sound guys?

oh and here's the showtimes of the other flicks on the "list"

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

late show: 12:15 a.m. Fri Sat
Movies 12 11:10 a.m. 2:00 4:35 7:35 10:05

Napoleon Dynamite
Princess 7:15 9:15
Matinees: 2:30 Sat Sun

Though i know it's not really on the list there is one another film worth mentioning, and surprisingly there's only one theatre in Edmonton screening it (fuckin' North Edmonton at that!). perhaps you've already downloaded the EP that shares its namesake? the documentary, "Some Kind of Monster", that follows Metallica during those very recording sessions. Now normally i wouldn't bother to bring something like this up: Metallica (ir)regardless of their past (arguably) really does suck ass both musically and more simply as people, and the one of the directors responsible for this film is in contention for winning some sort of jury prize from Bad Movie Night for his 2000 classic, "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" . But asshole subjects and idiot film makers aside the film is made compelling for the same reasons that Wilco's "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" was- recording a record is a fucking nightmare. especially when your lead-singer-principle-song-writer is going into rehab for alcoholism (james, not jeff- though i'm sure the two probably throw-up at similar intervals) and your bassist quits just prior to the sessions beginning...(instead of just kicking his ass out of the band-actually come to think of it there's a lot of weird similarities between the two bands) where the two films diverge is the film's inner social critique- Wilco's mocks the ridiculousness of major label record companies, in essance of unmanagably large multinational corporations, and Metallica's points out the intersections between the absurdity of celebrity and pop culture's rabid fascination with self help psychology- much of the film captures the band during its sessions with their band-psychiatrist (who apparently the label also once assigned to Rage Against the Machine, and good fuckin' lot that did) Sadly as we all know Metallica doesn't break up at the end to form a new band with Axl Rose, or the rest of those guys from Soundgarden (Spoonman!!) but the film certainly suggests that they came damn close. and again like Wilco, that's just a good case of having cameras around when mad shit is going down. and the best part about it is though all of what you see is a real life human drama,when it plays itself out on screen it's just pantshitting comedy - and that's definately a side of Metallica that i can swallow- the pantshitting part.

so yeah one other thing, i haven't actually seen the film yet- so if anyone's interested in going gimme a shout- the only reason i know so much about it is because i read a pretty great article about it in New York Times Magazine- whodathunkit.
