Thanks to Sean's e-wisdom, I ended up burning my mind on Cary Mercer's blog for most of the day. Aside from amazing me and eating my time it managed to do a great job of self-exposing my own weaknesses. So what else can I do but return to the ridiculously simple? Firstly, a song or two by an obscure-for-now/hidden gem/yet to be recognized genius known as Glass Cake.

Glass Cake - We'll Work it Out

Glass Cake - Blanket

Secondly, combine two things to make a newer, better thing.

A way to feel:

AMM - Late

Is this grasping at straws or a super infinite horizon dividing two grey plates? If there are a countable number of things but it would take you 'too long' to count them, then there are an infinite number of things. What I'm trying to say is, I don't know whose side time is on but it's pretty much all I've got right now.

253 BPM

Seriously, due to faulty wiring the above measurement was made. I'm still not sure what will be done to fix it, but basically my heart has been broken for about 7 years. Anna was there the first time it happened. We burst into a sort of Rocky style training run on the grounds of the University of Toronto. She was the trainer on the bike and I was man against everything, feet pushing the pavement. It jumped to double time at some point, but I didn't really notice it until it jumped to half time and beat twice as hard.

Other Ridiculous Current Realities:


Nice Snacks/Cold Drinks



Low runs of some 'drawings' that I have done printed on to t-shirts or newsprint, both so fleetingly temporary and poorly done that you won't regret buying them.

A Nick Krgovich musical!!! Thee Original Musical Genius! No Kids touring with Parenthetical Girls! Here's a track from the original cast recording (thanks Duncan!):
Nicholas Krgovich - In the Big House [In the Yard, Havin' Fun]


Lastly and most ridiculously, a small, last minute 'the endless bummer' tour to the Bay Area, March 4th-8th. Obviously, I'm willing to play anywhere in between, so see here for details [/.\] if you're interested in hosting a badly attended performance by a band that no one has heard of.
