Thank you dairy council of canada b/c I had thought choice was something of an illusion ever since they started airing volkwagon ads with hip songs. It all started with fluffy little clouds... and then i was stuck in a 5-year lease, i became my car, my car became me, i lost everything but me and my keys were the only thing that turned me on. Hi everyone, i'm sorry, i'm just a little disturbed these days and commercials and capitalism are only the tip of it all. I read the new Adbusters mag from cover to cover last night. Things like this make my head spin even more than usual - and it's a lot of work to get it logical when you question logic. Maybe see what I mean at http://www.adbusters.org - though it's different in print. I've got my black indelible marker, have you? I saw Stereolab on Sunday and I also saw all the indie-cool kids in Vancouver too. Wow. Stereolab, amazing show and good and loud too. They played in the newly refurbished Commodore Ballroom - a wonderful centrally-located venue w/ good sound and lots of room and air. Could have done better w/ the paint job, but whatev. Hey you bands (and I mean one in particular), the Commodore is a good reason to come to Vancouver! Oh, and they played b&s before and after the show - only stuff from tbwtas and only on rotation with 5 other cds, but hell, it sounded so good in a big room. Speaking of the lovelies, here's something from the local a&e paper from an article on stereolab: "Considering that Stereolab helped invent the genre (ambient-French-futuristic-lounge-pop), it's only appropriate that Cobra and Phases finds the band eager to show it won't be outshone by upstarts such as Air and Belle and Sebastian." Um, what? What the *hell* is that? Mike Usinger, silly old arts journalist, yr a wanker and a know-nothing-know-it-all name dropper. Just thought I'd share. And lastly, (yes, lastly b/c i'm trying to understand what concise really means), I almost melted my brains this weekend watching 25 minutes of a Spice Girls "documentary" on Muchmusic (the nation's music station). At first it was funny to joke about them, but then our eyes glazed over and we forgot the simplest things (I believe they were sucked into the black hole of spice girl logic) until we made a quick getaway during a little posh spice crying fit (they all had their noses in pocket mirrors.) But I'm... okay... now. I now believe sushi really can cure anything. Love Robyn p.s. Wilco - Summerteeth, a must have. "You could be anywhere, but you're not. You're here." Sporty Spice, in a more profound on-tour moment ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden@yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.
