Ho peeps! Just back from our week in Toronto - my gosh, was it warm or
what!
Only one CD purchase made there - Sloan's "A Sides Win" with a very nifty
bonus DVD containing all the single videos + live versions of each song + a
short interview about the making of each video + other stuff I ain't looked
at yet. Sam the Man's record shop seemed a lot dearer than I remembered
but then again maybe I am just getting old. Anyway, who needs to buy CDs
when one can go straight to Russian websites and download music for
"f-all". Just kidding, Anna & Co.
We had a nice meal in Toronto at a place called Jamie Kennedy's Wine Bar,
all the food came Tapas style. However if you ever visit, be wary of wine
recommendations from the waitress who looks like Sally Fields - when I
complained that my glass of Zweigel (Austrian red wine - I got the last of
an open bottle, Janice got the first of a new bottle) tasted corked,
"Sally" sniffed mine, sniffed Janice's, made a face and poured Janice's +
the rest of the new bottle down the sink! "But it was mine that was off
...", I protested to no avail. Och well.
Other stuff I have been digging - HAL's self titled debut (should go down a
treat with Auditeers, I expect Dave Bash would enjoy this one a lot), the
new Churchill's CD, "The Odds of Winning" - with a free 3-track EP when
purchased from NotLame.
Oh, and Motorhead's Greatest Hits - you need some roughage with your pop
after all!
Bob
