“All That’s Left” is tearing up the CBC-Podcast airwaves this week.
Grant Lawrence says: “In the middle of that set was THE SQUARE WAVES, and though they sound like a cross between The Postal Service and The Russian Futurists, are they from Toronto or Seattle or New York? NO! How about LETHBRIDGE ALBERTA? YES!”

Square Waves – Non-Responsive / Calgary Nov 1
Posted in Music, Naveling on September 19, 2007 | 6 Comments »
This is video from a show we did in August in Lethbridge. For whatever reason, that night was magical, with everything coming together. Especially after our (disastrous?) performance at Sled Island, we felt the need to redeem ourselves. This is a song called “NON-RESPONSIVE” – which absolutely slays (not that I am biased or anything).

I wake up this morning to take mini-me to the school bus, and what do we find? 12 feet of Snow. I had to dig my way from my balcony door to my car. Time to pull out the snow shoes!
That weather, sure is changing all the time!
On a related note: I just discovered that [...]

So this blog dedicated to scanning weird comic books puts up a scan of a Batman comic as done by Dostoyevsky (linky). I found it pretty amusing; Russian commenters to the blog do not. A few highlights.
Oh Gods, yankees, what have you done with one of the best books ever?!
Burn that comics!
also:
This is “Crime and [...]

Watching the tele last night, after a wonderful “magnet making party” (do with those quotations as you please, kind sir), and the news comes on. You know how the news is generally bearable for about 6 minutes before they start getting into how wacky the weather guy is, or how wacky the sportscaster guy is? [...]
Clearly, the man is right. . .

Okkervil River – Plus Ones
Posted in Music on September 7, 2007 | 2 Comments »
This song is just so… perfect. Perfect and clever. See if you can get the pattern here. I’ve added the mp3’s of the sampled songs making this a mp3-schmorg.
Okkervil River – “Plus Ones” (MP3)

In a nutshell: Costello is booked for SNL to replace the Sex Pistols who had trouble at customs. Costello’s label wants him to play the song “Less than Zero” (from My Aim is True), a song referencing UK Fascist Oswald Mosley. They start to play, but stop a few bars in [...]

I am sitting here composing the blog for my new fall course (the3390.wordpress.com), and someone in my building has been playing Jewel’s “These Foolish Games” over and over and over and over and over again.
People…. they’re the worst.
UPDATE: This song is “Tearing me! Tearing me! Tearing me! TEARING ME APAAAAAARRRRRT!”
UPDATE2: We have moved on [...]

I had to come to Calgary today for “incoming student orientation,” which means that I get free lunch, and I would drive twice the distance for that! I pass Claresholm and see this Gerry Garcia look-a-like standing there with a sign that read “CALGARY.” I would have kept going otherwise (dear reader, you must know [...]
