I made this a little needlessly complicated, sorry.

emilytheodd posted this awesome meme, and I must share my sonic excrement with you! Just thank the Lords of Kobol there are no actual recordings of my harpy voice, eeegh.

Post the three songs you're singing most in the shower right now. Not the three you wish you were singing, but the three that you actually are.

01. Pony Up! - The Truth About Cats and Dogs (Is That They Die)

02. Octoberman - Run From Safety (You can listen to it on their myspace, along with a fucking gorgeous live version)

03. Beirut - Nantes

04. Beirut - The Penalty

Cheating, I know! But at least two out of my three artists are dashing and Canadian. Speaking of Canadian art (CLASSY SEGUE, I KNOW) I went to watch some shorts at the Atlantic Film Festival, tonight. Ho ho, don't I own the most pretentious pants around these parts. I really wanted to park my butt in front of Burn After Reading, but someone else insisted on some class, so Canadiana it was. Conclusions? The Quebecois own this country when it comes to ~art, and everyone else can go home. Lord, the burning guilt I feel from the only film that mattered out of seven will probably never leave me.

ETA: and yeah, here's the entire Octoberman album, if you're interested.

Inorite? WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK FOR IT, WOMAN? I jerked it off of indie_exchange. Along with a whole bunch of other pretentious Canadian crap that is less good. But apparently they'll be here in October with the Fembots.

I won't lie: I probably won't go. I have no suitably hip friends here who would do such a thing, and going alone is asking for an untoward penetration of the knife or dick variety.

Hmmmm, they are here Nov 1. At the Marquee room. :/ We'll see. I think it would be an amazing show, but I don't know if I'll be up for dealing with that crowd on the first night of the busiest week we have. :/

Why is there a fucking Marquee Room in EVERY CITY. Are they a chain? No? Where is the Calgary version? I keep meaning to go to the one here because it's apparently awesome, but. We covered this.

God, life, why so hard? We have the TASTE to know about these shows, and yet I just don't care enough about anything, if it ultimately involves leaving my house.
