Day 9: the Valentine edition
Hey lovers*! This one's for you...
*=self-love is love too!
I srsly fuckin LOVE Matt & Kim! (Myspace). They remind me of Team Boo-era Mates of State, but punkier. Hey Toronto! Matt & Kim are at The Mod Club on May 4th with Meligrove Band and the mighty mighty JAPANTHER, who I've raved about in the past. Their disc Master of Pigeons, on Menlo Park is amazing...they have much newer work though on their myspace.
Punk rock is so much more than music though...it's PHOTOS (Courtesy of my man Jon B!), and WRITING (attn: Banksy fans, read this.) and...well, I'd say that love is pretty punk rock in itself.
Dontcha think?
I spent last weekend in Ottawa with Leah, which was fun if not a bit dull on the city-life part. It's kind of a dead scene, to be honest. Good thing I had such rad company. We went to the Museum of Civilization, across the river in Hull, Quebec one afternoon, which was totally fascinating. We saw 700-year old totem poles and ancient glass vases - amazing.
They also happen to have The Canadian Postal Museum, which leads me to a funny/embarrassing story...we came across a mail-themed karaoke booth which only had two songs we both knew, Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder and Return to Sender, by Elvis...so we put our headphones and started belting it out, laughing at the sound of our horrible singing in our ears for about 10 minutes, and that's when we noticed the camera. We stepped out of the booth and there was about 30 people WATCHING US on a BIG TV outside of the booth which had projected our performance through the museum. Leah had a mini-humiliation attack and we giggled HARD as ran out of there, quickly.
It made for a fun day on a fun trip with a fun girl. Her blog is linked over to the right...go show her some love while she's trapped in a dorm.
Stay warm, kittens!
ps:
Juanma Grillo is the new pink.
