you made me realize

i find myself posting merely as an excuse to use titles that occur to me. i prefer titles to posts. sometimes, however, it is impossible to find a title for a post that is already written. the last post was merely an excuse to use 'the box of souls' as a title.

i've signed on to a committee that will be meeting weekly for three hours at a time, between october 20th and december 22nd, in addition to an all-day retreat to be held october 13th at the vancouver rowing club.

hearing swing out sister's breakout right after my bloody valentine's you made me realize is a great moment. in other music news, sam sullivan's victory song, after winning the npa nomination for mayor, was fleetwood mac's don't stop(thinkin' about tomorrow), which, the wise will recall, was also used by bill clinton in 1992. to follow the parallel, david cadman was very close to playing ross perot to jim green's george h. w. bush this fall. in the grand tradition of ronald reagan, gordon campbell began his campaign this spring using bruce springsteen's glory days, until someone pointed out the irony in the lyrics.

a prize to whomever can tell me which songs were used by the following canadian politicians:
stephen harper
stockwell day
paul martin

further, if you know the theme music used by any other political figures of note, please let me know. i love this stuff. if kofi annan had music when he was elected secretary-general, i want to know.
