the new depeche mode album is avaliable here for streaming. i think it's fantastic.
i'm surprised at the lack of love for sebastian tellier's politics over at fort awesome. garett gets it; 80's television themes! wonderafrica, zombi, and ketchup vs. genocide are all after that tradition. broadway and la ritournelle are different, more elegaic and beautiful. mauer is another notable song, weird and sad. just skip track 9, la tuerie, and you'll be fine. that one's just noise. there are some beautiful, unconventional songs, shameless and exciting. fort awesome is crazy. i'll have to stick to more conventional albums for now.
morrissey's got a new album out again next year, called, apparently, ringleader of the tormentors. my fascination with these aging icons is odd.
we had dinner at the szechuan chongqing, on the corner of 12th and commercial and saw the chud, mla for vancouver-kensington having dinner with judy darcy. then, who leaves from the back with a large party but john nuraney, mla for burnaby-willingdon. fun times!

it reminded me of that show from the 70s/80s about the radio station in cincinnati (cincinatti?), anyway, i never liked that show because i was little and it was boring, but that's what the songs remind me of.
fort awesome *is* crazy. and don't you forget it. especially amanda.
i think in every blog entry you should explain the titles of the posts
amanda and i want to know! the council demands action.
maybe you should compile an index and then publish it secretly.
WKRP in cincinnati! i will put that up for comparison.
perhaps i will explain the title one day. do you like them? i try to choose titles that i find evocative and warm.
we like them! we went and looked back at your blog to see if we could figure out the meaning behind them. We knew two of them, and that's because we were with you when you heard them.
You posted at 7:04 buddy, where are you?
Oh, and I listened to track 9 (the "real" noisy one) and track 7 (the good one). We actually kind of liked them. I'll give the CD back to you tonight.
Do you have my umbrella?
SCANDALOUS!!!
