A Life Of Possibilities
So what do you do when you’re standing next to an absolutely stunning – but in a real and genuine sorta way – girl on a streetcar? If you’re me, you do and say nothing until you’re off the streetcar, smack yourself in the forehead for being such a chickenshit, rationalize it by telling yourself that she wouldn’t have talked to you anyway, and go about your business. And my life begins to make more sense to me.
And now for something completely different.
There will be a ‘showing’ of The Flaming Lips’ octophonic masterpiece, Zaireeka on February 28th at the Poor Alex Theatre in the Annex. Details here. Not familiar with the album? Read Wayne Coyne’s liner notes here. Thanks to Kyle for the tip. This is going to be so cool, I’ve listened to 3 discs at once before, but never the full four-pronged experience and certainly never on a decent sound system. I don’t do drugs, but if there were ever a night to start…
There is a bitch-slapping new X-Men 2 trailer online.
The Weakerthans have finally signed the long-rumoured deal with Epitaph. Their first release for the legendary punk label is Reconstruction Site, due out this summer. Full story here.
