more fuzzed out cockrock disco from Canada (read Death from Above) check out this post on Montreal band, DUCHESS SAYS
probably from the same scene as We Are Wolves

hello! or should I say ciao instead.

so, avian flu... lots of fun to read about in the italian newspapers. Though it is definitely fear mongering, it is much nicer to know that things will work out alright... at least for the time being, and that I am no safer here than I would be at home, what with the migratory routes of birds and all...

I hope all is well with you guys, but do not tell me here, because, uh, well, I do not read it all that often over here!

anyway, just a note to say I am alive, night trains suck, and the Italian countryside is beautiful. visit my blog if you like: www.ballofdirt.com and search for Alison [redacted]...

haha, it's 4:20. That's as good of a time as any to get some sleep. I only need to do 2 more readings for my midterm tomorrow.

As for the essay... um, maybe I can write it up quickly tomorrow morning after I do the two readings?



Doubtful. Maybe I'll just hafta take that 10% hit and hand it in the next day... dammit.




btw- I hope your show went well, Matt. I wish I could've been there... ;(

hey Jeremy... Eamon just set up a new Red Medicine site here. Maybe you'll be able to hear the tracks on this site since New Music Canada won't work for you...?

song of the day:

Evergreen, by Submarine on their album SkinDiving.

Smooth electropop beats with a voice like platinum waves.



Runner-up:

Pinback's Syracuse, off the album Summer in Abaddon.

A mostly ignored Canadiana gem; this album is their first release on Touch & Go!

it is of my opinion that this is a pretty sweet band:

The nastiest weapon envsioned by American scientist in the 50's

The Flying Crowbar

It's like the early version of me worked as a weapon designer or something. Good thing it was never made.

Heyall, yeah, my thing's going down tonight. If anyone's interested in coming, there are free tickets at the front if you say you're coming to see me. Paying cover is for chumps. Bourbon St. The Comic Strip. Be there by 8 or you'll be late. If you boo me, I'll kill you. TOODLES!

for sure, will do! seriously guys, fuck Chili's - Capoti's been getting rave reviews, come see the man in person!!

my nomination for music blog of the week
to here knows when who has been posting up some killer MasterKraft (MSTRKRFT) remixes that i've been on the hunt for lately. stupid iTunes Canada blows i would have gladly paid 1 pound for these tracks.

Very fucking doubtful I can make it to Lisac's gig, but thanks for the heads-up Eric -- and the call to work, buddeh.

So, if y'all can give Lisac my best, thanks.
