Papillon Parade

There are plenty of talented musicians in Nova Scotia, my favourite though is The Joel Plaskett Emergency! Wintersleep are good too.

Oh this is sweet. Wilco AND Ellen Page on the same night. She's our hometown hero (Halifax, NS) right now big time. Go get that Oscar Ellen!

I just went outside to see it...beautiful. I'm in northern Alberta right now working, very close to the border to the Northwest Territories. Can't wait to see the aurora borealis soon!

Sadly, I agree. It seems as though the media is almost bored with covering these school shootings, and I by no means say this to curtail what has happened. What I really wish the media would stop with is sensationalizing the KILLER. Stop showing videos and photos of them. They are no longer a threat as most of them commit suicide afterwards, so what's the point of splattering their face all over the place? I'm sure if it was one of my family members that had been involved I would definitely NOT want to see that. It seems to me that seeing someone else get so much media coverage could spu

I agree, one problem with that though is keeping these people in treatment. This guy went off his medication which is what they are blaming his behaviour on. Not to mention the gun deaths as a result of gang violence, domestic disturbances and home invasions. These are more a case of rage and a lack of self control rather than mental illness. It's an enormous issue that has completely spiraled out of control, so much so that there may be no hope of reconstruction.

Apparently he bought them from the same company that sold guns to the Virginia Tech killer. Just how many innocent people have to be killed before the gun laws are changed? The sad part is that even if guns were banned, there would still be people out there making and selling them for profit illegally regardless of how many people they kill.

Take the long way home.

This is one of the coolest pieces of art I've seen. It's a kinetic sculpture of Woodie Guthrie by Tom Haney. Be sure to check out the video to see it move in the bottom right corner.

Nice choice. I've gotta go with I Gave You from Bonnie: I gave you a child, and you didn't want it That's the most that I have to give. I gave you a house, and you didn't haunt it Now where am I supposed to live. I gave you a tree and you did not embrace it I gave you a nightmare and you didn't chase it I'd give you a dream and you'd only wake from it Now I'll never go to sleep again. I'd give you a treasure and you'd only take from it Look at the hole where jewelry had been Baby oh baby Why must you escape from it This love that we once called our friend. I gave you my body and you ate a

I walked into a very hip furniture store in Halifax, NS a few weeks ago and what do I hear - You Are My Face. Sweet. Only there's a problem, now I feel compelled to buy something in the overpriced store just because of their taste in music. I decide to wait and see what comes on next, if it's the entire CD - I buy something, mixed CD/Radio - I walk. Yada yada yada...I am the proud owner of a VERY pricey curtin rod for my dining room.

Damn, am I too late to post my butterface joke? I'm so behind on posts. It would have went something like this... "That JS is a reaaaaaaaal butterface. Everything is good about her, but her face." Zing!

Whatever the circumstances, I trust you are now at peace Heath. Rest well, you will be missed.

Yeah, he was a great guy. Everyone I know spoke very highly of him. What makes it even more sad is that he took his own life.

Not sure how many of you would be familiar with the British artist Reggie Pedro, but sadly, he passed away recently at the young age of 35. "Pedro is best known for his record cover artwork for Mercury award-winning band Gomez between 1998 and 1999, for which he won an award for best illustrator within the music industry in 2000." We have subway size posters of the Gomez covers mentioned above throughout our house. Last year I dealt with Reggie when I bought a few original pieces of his artwork for my boyfriend's birthday. He will be missed by many. TBR&R

I used to think that too...until I started hanging around with some veggies who would chastise me as I ate a hamburger while they sat there and polished off a big bag of chips..then a chocolate bar...then some kind of dip... However, my all time favorite fast food is a local place called *drumroll*... A&K Lick-A-Chick Restuarant. Lick-A-Chick

I had Wendy's for lunch today, chicken strips...delish.

I am so insanely jealous! My trip ended up being cancelled () due to the sudden firing of our company president by our BOD and the hold on our assets. I managed to sell my tix, but it hurt. Glad you had a good night.

I work for a sustainable design company...I FORCE my co-workers to listen to Wilco daily. Oh sure they make their "Woolco" jokes, but deep down they love it. As for hearing Wilco in public, I live in a remote area of Nova Scotia where they just don't understand anything but fiddles or bagpipes.

oh jesus that's sweet! They should have called it the "JT Muzzle of Bees LE"

I did, like a baby.

I agree. I'm a big Seinfeld fan, and love Jerry, but the last few interviews I've watched have been painful.

I'll be at the Halifax show!

Wilco (goes without saying really) Gomez White Stripes The Joel Plaskett Emergency Hawksley Workman Pearl Jam I'm going to see Yo La Tengo next Thursday. I have a feeling they'll be on this list soon also.

I love it!
