"It's June/and I'm still wearing my boots." - Tanya Donelly, 'New England'.
This past week, we've been stuck with temperatures of -15. In fucking April. Tomorrow, it's supposed to be 16 above. And I've got a fucking cold.
Figures.
What's more, the Flames lost tonight. Holy crap; these guys do NOT deserve to make it to the playoffs this year. Serves 'em right if Iginla and Kiprusoff end u

Mos Def is hip-hop’s Johnny Appleseed. He carries a small bag around with him that’s filled with hip-hop, dark, rich handfuls of it that smell like fresh soil and cut grass and tobacco, and when he starts pulling it out and spreading it around, kids begin popping and locking in double-dutch time, all cornrows and fades and Converse all-stars and fire hydrant fountains, and even the old folk start nodding their heads. Mos Def is that la
Yeah. Right. Sure.

“I’d like to thank you all for nothing at all.” – Wilco, ‘Misunderstood’
So, did local hero Chad Vangaalen win his Juno last night? I try to avoid award shows, as they usually end up being a Mutual Admiration Society circle-jerks, but I was kinda interested in this one,

Lyric of the day: "I'm not giving you attitude/I just want another drink." - Clutch, 'Power Player'.
This’ll be short, as I’m kinda working on a longer piece in regards to the supposed ‘death of the album’ that everyone’s in a tizzy about. Plus, I’m at work, and they sometimes monitor our internet access, which means I get to feel like I’m the plucky band of rag-tag

Forgive me. It's been a surly week, and even though I feel like I matched it blow for blow, I'm still really exhausted and ready to just die for a month. Emily Haines makes me feel better, though, plus she's easy on the eyes, which ain't no bad thing neither.
Dinosaur Jr. is coming to town and I have no tickets. This is wrong. This is oh-so wron

"See, it wasn't quite as bad as it could've been." Modest Mouse, 'Dashboard'.
It's 3:00 a.m., Saint Patrick's Day is finally over, I am currently listening to the new Modest Mouse, We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, and all I have to say is that you should all feel blessed that you live in a time when music like this is being made. Anyone who complains of Isaac Brock's continual pop leanings is a fool, as this album fucking kills.
I'm gonna lose a lot of online friends with this one...

"People think that we don't understand/What it takes to want to be a man" - Built To Spill, Goin' Against Your Mind.
If you do not recognize this song not only as a triumphant return for a band that'd been silent for six years, but also as the most kick-ass song of 2006, then your brain has failed and should be returned to wherever you got it; I hope you kept your reciept.
I'm in a bad fucking mood.

(ahem)
The new RJD2 is a total bag of shit.
Understand: I love RJD2, but this is unmitigated torture. Do not attempt to even crack the jewel case, as even that is tantamount to smearing feces on a brick of moldy cheese and then chowing down. Shame on you, Mr. Krohn; we expected much better from you.
An update on my first post: the lyric quoted in the title is actually from Ween's 'Powder Blue', fr

Lyric of the day: "You spoon water like love/and I will take it/if you can take it..." - The Thermals, How We Know.
Things going through my head right now:
The best pop lyrics are as ambiguous as fuck; they're a secret code that we rarely crack yet continue to worry at, like a dog with its favourite bone. I'll be damned if I know what spooning water like love is all about, but Hutch Harris sings it with such a clear certainty that it may as well top any

It's surprising what the offer and subsequent delivery of free beverages can get you.
New acquisitions:
