Broken Social Scene singing the refrain ‘It looks just like the sun’ sounds just like Geggy Tah singing ‘She says I was the one for her”. I was going to say that the similarities end there, but I could come up with a few more. Alex made the fine point that Geggy Tah’s entrance into the Variety Playhouse a few years back was the best entrance by a band playing both a steel drum and a Suese-a-phone.
I just bought B.S.S. at Amoeba on Saturday.
We walked from Amoeba records to Rosamunde sausage to Nomad to Blue Bottle Coffee to Ted Baker to Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant. That’s a quality walk right there, beating out the earlier Jamba Juice-American Apparal-Reilly James-Grove circuit.
Let me just say that if you are having a really great day, one that is both fun and offbeat, and you want to put an end to it, go to a Donovan Party: Each one is better than the next. After an hour of that mess, we headed over to Noc Noc Bar for a some Fin Du Monde.
Woke up the next day still dressed in jeans and t-shirt, with the Goodland Kansas Mural from my Belt Buckle imprinted on my stomache. Matt caught a flight back to Milwaukee and I went to go see Star wars. Dave echoed the fine point that this movie rendered the previous two unnecessary. If either of the previous two movies was worth a damn, then Dave’s point would be better, but as it stands, those movies were too terrible to be deemed ‘unnecessary’. The best thing about TROTS is that it makes the original three better, adding weight to many of their scenes.
Okay, this Social Scene album is really good.
