Music Minute

I die for Patti Smith.
You know whats coming, and yet you still can't wait to hear her sing it. The woman's a genius.
Bow down you mere mortals to the melodious sounds of P.Smith.

Adventure Weekend/Sunday

Another successful adventure Sunday this weekend with Tara and Gaël! Gaël had the brilliant idea of hitting up the beach and therefore we ventured out to park Jean Drapeau, spiked punch, sunscreen and chips in hand. Gaël built sandcastles, I read and Tara tanned (using the most bizarre tanning lotion I have ever seen, basically it induces an allergic reaction and apparently that's supposed to help you tan...)

The castle was mostly successful as was the tanning. The highlight of the day came when a couple of FULLY dressed tourists tried to go for a swim on the one part of the beach your not supposed to use and proceeded to basically have sex in the water. They were then kick out of the water by a lifeguard with washboard abs, so they headed to the picnic tables to strip off theirs clothes and finish there.




This weekend also marked the beginning of the Jazz Festival here in MTL. So Grace Tara and I headed out to the Festivities to watch opening act Brian Setzer and his orchestra light up the night. I was unfortunately too late to catch hometown favorites the Hellbound Hepcats play but I told that both of their shows were a riot. As expected the place was PACKED but we did manage to get within 100 feet of the stage and were able to better see the screens and tell that there were in fact people on stage. later that night Duke and Tristan met us for beer and we spent the rest of the night watching the show from there n their handy dandy TV screen.




So all in all it was a fun and cheap weekend! Which is good cause this week is moving week and it promises to be hell!

FINALLY!

I'm glad she's finally making this video, lets just hope it doesn't suck as bad as the rest of them

Hope he does "Lorna Zauberberg" next

This just shit the bed

Only Queens of Noise is mildly okay, but thats all it is ... mild, weak, uninspired.
I can't believe how seriously they've dropped the ball with this one, the film is going to have to be out of this world to save the train wreck that are these songs. And even that is unlikely, how can you have a movie about a band without good music.

New musical Obession

This woman is utterly magical to see live

My name to you is just another word

You Desired My Attention, But Denied My Affections...

My First Coffe Shop Post

Feeling extremely cool and new age-y right now, posting from a coffee shop. I am such a cliche. LOVES IT! Feeling pretty good, the semester is winding down and instead of my usual end-of-semester-panic I find myself surprisingly able to keep up. Sure I still have a paper (mostly done), a final (which I actually didn't even know about), a take home and a film to finish, but it the greater scheme of things it all seems extremely do-able. Or maybe I'm crazy... that's defintely a viable option. I often question whether my sanity falls within legal requirments, especially for some one who drives a car and has access to many questionable web content... I'm sure I'm fine!

On a lighter note, finished recoring foley the other day and then voice overs this saturday. Both went extremly well. My talented sound designer has already placed most of the foely and gotten started on the VO's. I'm also meeting my music man tomorrow in order to give him the latest edit so that he can start placing the already composed music into the film.
Things are comin' up me!
