The Ugly Truth
Adbusters is going into the sneaker selling business, ostensibly to ‘take on Nike’. I don’t know about this, it seems naive at best, hypocritical at worst, but a curious course of action any way you slice it. From where I stand, Adbusters stands to gain very little, but lose a lot.
The Death Cab For Cutie/Nada Surf/Long Winters show is confirmed on the Barsuk website and will take place at the Opera House on October 16. And it’s all ages. It better be a damn good show, cause Lord knows I don’t love all ages shows or the Opera House, let alone both at once.
Excellent Online has links to a couple streamable tracks from the new Spiritualized album, Amazing Grace, out in a couple weeks. Go have a listen.
Still no word as to when the shotgun conservation efforts around the province can be reduced. Not to say waste is preferable to conservation, but work has been suffocatingly hot without A/C and home is better, but not great. The sword of Damocles dangling up above is getting mighty old.
