Hey folks. Sorry it's been so long. I know that most of you're all sitting there, just waiting for this action to fill you in on some more goings on in the greatest city on earth. There's no chance I would have said that even six months ago, but, oh how time changes everything.

Well, not everything I guess. Queens of the Stone Age are still slightly ahead of Wilco for album of the year. But, that could just be because I'm sitting here about to get stoned for the first time in a week, listening to the new QOTSA album. In any case, get off your asses and go buy both of their latest releases right now. That goes for you if you're in Paris, Vancouver, Portland, Cairo, or wherever. Break into that motherfucking store if you have to. Just leave the money behind. Be considerate for your white god's sake.

Tonight I had the privilege of seeing one of Vancouver's best bands, Motion Soundtrack. Thanks to Jordan, Chikako, and Jon for turning me on to them. This band is what talent and a good ear can provide: good times for a group of people, even if they're brought together by a shitty radio station.

MS takes you for a ride. At first you wonder where you might be going, but, after a few minutes you realise that you're experiencing something that noone else in the world is at that particular moment. You get lost.

That's what I'm about to do as I go get obscenely high and imagine that everything's really going to be all right.

Also, if any of y'all are in town, go check out some films at the Vancouver International Film Festival. There's some pretty sweet sounding documentaries. The VIFF rules over all film fests worldwide. That's a guarantee, and if you have a problem with that, well, you can stick that guarantee up your ass.

Can you tell I've had a few drinks tonight?
