Rainy Day Links

Kyle: Because I'm going to see his band, The Bad Call, on Friday night. It's at the Rivoli in downtown Toronto: if any of you live around there, you should go. GO, I tell you. I have a feeling it's going to be spectacular. Email me for details, or if you want to meet up that's cool, I'll buy you a drink.

Sigur Ros: Because David and I are going to see them on September 19th, just before my birthday. He bought the tickets last night and I'm excited already. This is going to be the best birthday present ever.

Pretty Empty: Paintings, drawings, and photos by Kyle's girlfriend Steph. I have yet to meet her, but now that I've seen her art I think she's talented and clever, and probably fun to hang out with.

Radio Indie Pop: Some guy from this site sent me a promotional email, so I went and listened to some good tunes. I definitely recommend trying it out, if only because these kind of projects are pretty cool and need lots of encouragement. I also think they need constructive criticism, so Mr. Email Guy, if you're listening, your site design is ugly. I don't like ugly things. And you can call me superficial, and you'd be right, but you'd also be wasting your time because there are literally millions of people who are just as superficial as me - maybe even MORE! Shocking, yes, but you'll be all right. Here, drink this. What do you mean, it tastes like vodka? It's just orange juice. I drink it every morning, and look how happy and calmly-accepting-of-universal-superficiality I am.

There. Now that you're sufficiently passed out calm, let me add that the songs tend to skip a lot, but that could just be my lazy-ass internet connection.

Boredom Relief: This story makes me laugh. Also, everyone's talking about Wedding Crashers, and I still haven't seen it. Maybe tonight.
