For music that can take you away...

Hot as hell and dead centre in front for the third time in a few years. Downie's asking me if I got my picture and smiling. He actually waited until I nodded. The way they are is what makes you feel the music. Unreal. It makes you move and think and not care about the bullshit. Be one of the darkest ones, just let loose and use it up.

scared

Sun, 31 Dec -1 00:00:00 GMT

this is a story of wen the song "scared" actually scared me, me and my buddy were sleeping in a boathouse at a cottage in whitechurch when we heard a bear pounding allong through the campsite, though just at that moment the most coincidental song came on to the music player, the bear was was waddlin around for a bit wen it stopped by the door, it was freeky, then it turned and ran into the forest.

2 Hip Stories, a Poem, and a request

Sun, 17 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I've been to two Hip concerts, both at the no longer existing Memorial Stadium in St. John's, NL. The first time was in support of their Trouble At The Henhouse CD and it was a great show right up until the end. Some bozo attempted to body surf and I took a boot to the head, which made me see stars and get insanely nauseous. I went home, took a couple Advil and forgot most of the show. The second time was for Phantom Power and I went with my soon-to-be wife. We were surprised when we got there that cameras were allowed for a change, so we called a cab company to deliver us a disposable one. It was worth it- not only did we get some great shots of the show, we also were lucky enough to meet the band as they left the stadium and get photos taken with them (the "TTH Shuttle" sign stuck in the window of a van was a dead give away). Then Gord Downie smilingly told us to get on home and warm up (it was January, I think).

Here's a mashup I wrote using Gord Downie's poem "Christmas Day" and William Carlos Williams' "This Is Just To Say":

This Is Just Christmas Day, Jack

Little Jack Horner
sits in Economy.
The stewardess cracks the
public address system,
�There�s no music
for you today-
forgive me.
I have eaten
the plums-
forgive me.�

Finally, I have a request. How about a show in Iqaluit? I know the Barenaked Ladies have been here. Even the White Stripes have been here and they're not even Canadian! As far as I know, the Hip have not. Sure it's an expensive jaunt, but it's worth it for so many other reasons! PLEASE!
