Are you serious? This is breaking headline news: Morrissey vs. NME (again).
ARRRRGH!
This is so mentally frustrating for two, brain-bursting reasons:
1) Since when has the NME been known for printing the straight up facts? They are the kings/queens of spinning stories, of misappropriating quotes, of taking things out of context and generally being sensationalist. I [...]
I drove alone in the car to the fish store yesterday. But before you click away from this blog because it’s suddenly become the most boring thing you’ve ever laid eyes on, let me provide some (kind of) titilating background: I only got my license last month and haven’t done much solo driving. When you [...]
I just remembered that I had omitted Ontario’s Best Veggie Burger: Weber’s on highway 11. This would be the close second to the Crown Burger I mentioned in my Veggie Burger Blog. When you go to Weber’s you have to get fries and a milkshake, too. They cook the garden patties on a charcoal [...]
Now that I’ve resigned myself to being a total shut in (it’s too cold and besides I don’t have appropriate footwear…screw it I need to get some Sorels), I’ve come to rely and appreciate certain nooks and crannies of the internet. While I have my usual news sources and eclectic, techno-social haunts, I am surprisingly [...]
Having a baby makes you sleep a bit lighter, sleep with one ear open for one cough too many, or for that “for serious” crying out. So this morning, while Neptune was still asleep, my slumbers were stirred by the prickly sound of tiny ice pellets against the bedroom window. I opened the curtain to [...]
On our travels, we’ve had the pleasure (and excruciating pain) of discovering food the world over. When on tour, Murray and I feel a constant struggle to find vegetarian food that’s not: 1) coated in melted cheese, and 2) disgusting. There have been some triumphs (Excellent Sushi in Vancouver, BC, incredible curry soup and tea [...]
Slow news week? Maybe, but animal interest stories always please the crowd. Check out this cat that waits for its owner a mile away for a car ride home. Less cute and more bizarre is an Indian man who wed a dog to break a curse. And they went all out; this was a serious [...]
I read an article yesterday that said Canada’s university pubs are closing because students are drinking less. They opt instead for coffee shops or juice bars, or I don’t know, reading or jogging or something healthy. Anyhow, not too long ago in my University Lament, I mentioned how drinking was intrinsic to my academic career. [...]
On a drive down to Studio Economik to exchange a finicky Bryston power amp, Murray bought a 12 string guitar. While previously we’d dismiss the 12 string as fromaggio, this record has been busting out from all convention. Everything that’s old is fair game, things we’ve dissed now posess infinite possibility: Banjo: fine. Quirky peercussions, [...]
Last night I finished all my piano on the album. Well, except for some B-sides we haven’t recorded yet, but the plan is to work on those later. Drew and Dan hooked us up with this incredible Stienway baby grand piano from Montreal Piano for these sessions, and it’s such a pleasure to play. Everything [...]
