I wanted to see if there were anymore pictures of that electrochromatic paper stuff so I went to the company's website that is researching it (Siemens). Didn't really see anything on the paper, but I did see that Edmonton is buying a whole bunch of 'LRV's from them:

holy shit there's a lot of great bands coming up right now, basically re-writing the Joy Division catalogue, which is sorta what Interpol had already done like 5 years ago. but fuck, what a bunch of solid tunes!! canons yo, you can't front.

peep: the Editors "the Back Room", and i think i may have previously mentioned both Modernage "Receiver ep", Cut City "Self-titled"

on the fun shit tip: ninja high school is pretty much undeniable. that riddiculous scream in "Shake It Off" is straight up obscene. i can't wait to drop this shit when Twister goes bonkers

I fuckin love the future. By 2007, the pages in your magazine could possibly be moving!!! =read that shit here=

Comments:
The album is brand fuckin new, and it's the best spazztic electropop I've heard in a LONG time... even if some of the songs are in Polish! This duo gives Pilot Scott Tracy a run for their money.
Side Note: I knew a polish girl once; she was fuckin cute. She cut my hair once. She did a good job. She also explained to me the joys of salvia. God bless polish girls.

artist: Picastro

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!
