Ladytron, Adam Green, and the big white elephant

I went to the Ladytron show the other night not because I'm a big fan but because my best friend is leaving for London on Tuesday and I won't see him for a long, long time. And I'm sentimental that way. It was actually a really good show and now I need to get their album. They weren't nearly as electronic as I expected which is good.

It's always a treat for me to see all the fashion victims at these hipster shows, partly because I used to be one of them and partly because I love to people watch. There was always a part of me that knew I looked a little over the top but I was so drunk that I just didn't care (or was oblivious). Having a good time was all that mattered and boy, did I ever have a good time. Just ask Adam Green. ;) I think that these people know they're over the top and everyone in the venue knows it too but nobody really talks about it because that would be catty.

oh well, whatever, nevermind...

This is the man that will now be in charge of 25% of the Nirvana publishing catalog.

It seems Courtney needed some help administering the estate...or replenishing her bank account, either way, get ready for a barge of commercials featuring the greatest hits of Nirvana. Mennen will finally be able to use the song which was named after it's deodorant. yay.

The Junos

I didn't watch the Junos but I heard that, as usual, it sucked.

Imagine my surprise when this morning, I was watching the news and I heard that Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene won for Best Songwriting and Best Alternative Album, respectively.

I guess the Junos didn't suck after all.

Deadly Snakes and Dirty Toes

Spring is coming. That doesn't mean that it's here but for some reason when the temperature goes above 10 degrees, women in Toronto feel the need to wear sandals.

Yesterday it rained for most of the afternoon and evening...yet I still saw too many women wearing sandals simply because it was 17 degrees. Now that's all fine and good....we have long winters here in Canada and we get excited when it starts to warm up but for god's sake it's still only the beginning of April! And if you must wear sandals, get a pedicure! There's nothing more unattractive then showing off toes that have been hidden away in socks for six months with the remains of last summer's nail polish chipped away.

Eww.

On another note, does anybody have the new Deadly Snakes album? It came out a few months ago and I hear it's pretty good. I really enjoyed their concert and the songs seem to be very danceable (which is unusual for Toronto music).
