...just finished watching the first three episodes of six feet under on dvd. having thoroughly enjoyed them,i am going to go out tomorrow and rent the rest of the first season dvd's.

...woo fucking hoo,canada gets to host the 2010 winter games.

...had three mile pilot's another desert,another sea on my discman while out for a walk this evening. starting to know what all the My Bloody Valentine fans feel,waiting for another 3mp release.

happy canada day::
....not that i wish to be american,but i really do admire the patriotism of the folks below us. here in vancouver,there will be no festivities to mark our national holiday.no fireworks.....nuthin'. apparently last year's crowd was unruly and someone was stabbed,thus giving the city a convenient excuse to cancel this years celebration. aparrently the cost of policing the event is not worth it to city officials.
normally i would accept an explanation as feeble as this.....if not for the fact that vancouver may be announced as the 2010 host of the winter olympic games.the announcement is expected tomorrow morning at 7:30 am pst.what i believe to be true is that the city has put all their efforts into the policing of the downtown core tomorrow morning.thus leaving no bucks for tonight.

!!! and out hud::

...both bands wrapped up their tour together here in vancity on saturday night with an early show at richards on richards.out hud opened their set with dad, there's a little phrase called too much information which came across really well live. from there,out hud did new tunes featuring vocals fom phyllis forbes accompanied by nic offer and molly schnick. this was unexpected by me,but the vocals only added to the sound and the new songs made me anxious to hear their next release.

!!! followed and got our canadian asses shaking. as i watched them play,i kept wondering if this was what it must have been like to catch the talking heads circa "remain in light" [ which is my favourite T.H. lp].!!! are not a rock band so much as a groove / funk monster. nic offer and the boys can really dance too!!!

np::replicator - untitled 4 song ep
...having found out about this band in the brainwashed brain online mag, i finally got ahold of this and their earlier winterval lp. fans of shellac owe themselves a listen to this band. whay some label hasn't grabbed them i have no idea......
