Me Teaching



My friend told me about this website (well, through her blog...is that still "telling"?). I thought it was a pretty cool website...

Broken Social Scene and Nutella Sandwiches

So I saw broken social scene in concert last weekend and it was a fun night...Mostly because of the company.

They played a good show but we were standing up at the front and there was a lot of feedback and it was so loud that the music became incredibly distorted. At one point we couldn't tell one song from the next! Finally, after losing some of our hearing we decided to stand at the back (why didn't we think of it sooner? Oh yeah....Hi!). Anyway...I couldn't help feeling like the Friday night show was a dress rehearsal for the Saturday night show. Feist was great though. She's got an amazing stage presence....I could watch her perform all night.

As we left the concert it started to rain and instead of taking a cab we decided to walk to union station...It was only drizzling after all. Yeah...well...2 minutes in a drizzle isn't a big deal....15 minutes in a drizzle is total soakage. Needless to say, I've been battling a cold ever since.

Here's a cool waste of time website http://www.thesuperficial.com/
Check out David Hasselhoff's cover of "hooked on a feeling" (originally performed by Blue Swede and on the reservoir dogs soundtrack). Why does he still have a career? Is he really still that big in Germany?

Everymone must go to White Castle!


last night I watched harold and kumar go to white castle. I've wanted to see it for a long, long time and it was definitely worth the wait.

it's a top notch stoner comedy.

Sometimes trying something new isn't always a good thing

how craptastic can the new strokes album be?

more craptastic than live it out.

more craptastic than standing on the shoulder of giants.

more craptastic than showgirls.

my love affair with the strokes is over....sigh~

(I'm actually starting to like live it out...maybe the same will happen with first impressions of earth?)

Can't get enough BSS

I know some of you want to know what else I'm listening to but to tell you the truth, I'm still listening to broken social scene. It's under my skin, what can I say?

But if you really need some new music try final fantasy. it's a guy with a violin who sings over sounds that he looped through his instrument...I think there are drums in there too. I saw him when he opened for arcade fire and it was pretty impressive.

Last night I watched a few episodes of strangers with candy. If you've never heard of this politically incorrect (to put it mildly) show you must rent it. It's the heart warming story of an ex-crackhead whore highschool dropout who goes back to school. Good times.
