Songofthe.....

I totally just updated the so-called "Song of the Week" (very, very big mistake to have put a time period on it, I should probably just call it "Song of the _____") after a month and a half of forgetting about it.

For this next undetermined amount of time the songs shall be My Manic & I and Cross Your Finger/Crawled out of the Sea by Laura Marling. She gets two songs because I am currently obsessed (majorly) with her album "Alas I Cannot Swim" (and have been for the past at least two months). I had to order it from Gloucester, UK.

She is amazing, and worth so much more than the 4$ of shipping I had to pay to get her album. Actually, when I think about it, it was really cheap to get the disc. It was about 12$ (Canadian) all told, which is probably less than I would have paid for a CD in a store. I don't understand how they made any money at all.


Once, she was the opening act for Neil Young while he was touring in the UK. How I would have killed to be at that show.


Speaking of shows, I went to see Metric again recently. God, they're so frweakifing amazing. And I would marry Emily Haines anyday of the week. Except on a Monday. Mondays suck. Or a Wednesday really, cause that just seems like an extremely awkward day for a wedding... right in the middle of the week.

Anyways, I had to cart my 15 year old bro and his four really tall friends there in the minivan. I felt so cool, you have no idea. I think I almost ran a car off the highway because all I could see when I tried to look out the back window was heads of teenage boys. And then on the way back from the concert, half of them were high. That was a joy and a half to deal with....

Me: "Ok John, where do you live?"

Boy Voice: "Turn left!"

Different voice: "NO! Stop here!"

Third Voice: "John's homeless bahahah."

Some other Idiot Voice: "Right. Beside that school over there! In the field."

So, ya. Dumb. But it was worth it to see Metric.

And again speaking of shows, I have tickets to LADY GAGA! I bought one for me, one for my little 11 year old brotha. It's a surprise for his birthday and he doesn;t know yet! With a brother like him, I almost don't feel bad that I don't have a sister.


If you never noticed before, my taste in music is quite eclectic.

NotAlice out.
