My lovely aunt: We’re thinking about going to the Winnipeg Folk Festival on the Friday but I don’t recognize the acts these days
Me: Oh, yeah? I’ll take a look if you like… (quick scan) Wolf Parade & then Angine de Poitrine at 11
Her: 11 AT NIGHT??
Welp, I tried

My kid was listening to music instead of studying for a science test so I said study or you will be listening to nothing but the sound of silence until the end of the year & maybe singing Simon & Garfunkel & replacing silence with science was not the best move but I was on a roll, pals

I feel like I’ve accomplished something by listening to YES Close to the Edge this morning. It’s all in my head but I’ll take it.

If you are reportedly “sober except for LSD,” & your circle doesn’t know it’s a question of when, not if, it’s all gonna go to sh*t, well, hell, that’s on them

My kid’s school has a record club. They bring a record, talk about it, & then play the whole thing, no skips. Maybe I wouldn’t have hung out in the smoke hole for 5 years if that was an option. Also, maybe I would have been expelled as a result of my selections.

Finally watching the Dépêche Mode M show on Netflix & ngl have not seen their live show since oh, 30 years. Had no idea they tour with a human drummer who is a solid machine. The band still sound top shelf. The behind the scenes production stuff is great too. Unexpectedly captivating. A+

What if while listening to something an ex recorded, you realized they are totally off at one point in a pivotal song & someone should have caught it, but you can’t tell anyone because it will sound snarky even though you have total respect for that person’s playing, but you also can’t unhear it. 😂

Montreal is so cold right now, I have zero motivation to go outside. I spent 45 minutes on a treadmill today to feel warm, no joke. I can’t just lie around under an electric blanket for the next 5 months.

It’s kind of audacious, I guess, to learn The Unknown Knows but I missed that song. It pops into my head from time to time. The bridge is still a mess but I have most of it down. I don’t think I could play it stoned though, haha

May I recommend recordings by Graham Parker to anyone having a day as ridiculous as mine? He’s less pretentious than Joe Jackson & Costello, easy on the ears, side your ass into middle age type fair.

My lunch date is going to be 30 min late & I’m elated, I want to see this person but I am thrilled to get an extra 30 minutes to play the bass with no small talk required. I couldn’t be weirder if I tried.

No lie, in the 90s in Vancouver there was a spate of rock shows with a $1 door for established touring indie acts. I wish I saved my ticket stubs because it seems impossible now. Arena shows can be $800 now & club shows are up to $100. Mind blown. I’m all for adequate financial compensation, btw.

Do you ever wonder if someone is actually conniving or just super dumb? I always kind of hope they’re artfully plotting and not just dense but alas.

I miss record stores. I know they still exist but no one hangs out in them anymore & I don’t know anyone who owns them now. I have to follow whomever people who I think might know something are following. The mental load of existing in these times is exhausting. I just want to flip through 7”s.

I don’t like the expression “my rig,” either. I’m such a malcontent.
