good morning world...i wish i was still in bed.

You know what I could go for right now? It seems to be out of the blue. I don't get it, but I've just got this hankering for an "anti-pop mélange of metal-tinged, thrash-leaning, prog-punk." Anyone know where I can find something like that?

All right, I'm an asshole. But I can no more let a statement like that go unscathed than I can fail to mention "the punishing and propelling rhythms of Schaerer." It's just not a part of who I am. What can I say?

Seriously, though, I wouldn't mind getting a taste of that LDF. I think I've only heard them once, at that completely uneventful Pleasantview Hall show, and it'd be interesting to hear the new and recorded version.

Oh, and while I'm on the subject, and since I know from experience that it takes a deadline to actually name something, I'd like to be the first to start ragging on the Daggers boys to actually name the album. I've been waiting for a copy of an album from you boys (rather patiently, I think) for over three years now, and fuck if I'm gonna walk away with nothing again this summer.

Alrighty I'll start phoning as many people as I can tomorrow to go out to Klondike days tomorrow. If by some strange chance I miss you we will be meeting at the university LRT station, top floor, tomorrow, July 30 at 4:00 PM (If all goes well). Hope this works out.

George bush flips it

somegirlshaveallthefuck

as mentioned awhile back in some discussion about those Vice Comps- Taylor I seriously need to lend you the SOMEGIRLS ep (the DNA will have its say). it is FUCKING DEADLY. For fans of DeathFromAbove 1979 that think that DFA1979 are fucking pussy, these are the riffs that'll "riff" you a new asshole. Somegirls do shake-shaking and shredding your rectum with such aplomb that you just end up going, "i should have fried up and ate my sweaty sack ages ago- why did i ever think that i was ever going to use it?"

Free Beer!

Well, free as in speech not, ahem, as in beer.



Confused yet?
