so i saw twelve two nights ago and that movie is straight whack. i know those kids and they're weak.
white mike, ha! are you kidding me? kids clueless. but anyways it got me thinking about the city again. so much great music comes straight out of the city. its in another class.
montreal is an odd city. i know some goons and some mods some freaks and some poppers from montreal.
i know a couple cool kids too.
anyways this song comes from Wolf Parade who come from montreal. theyre a funky group and through the whining I kinda like the direction their headed. this live version kicks ass, theyre pretty sweet when they play live. its better than their cd, which is over produced and makes them sound like whiny bitches.

"I think its being thrown at the wolves, we call it our business" - Dick Van Dyke
What a gorgeous day in California and what an incredible morning it has been. While I have been sitting here at my desk in downtown San Luis Obispo getting all my shit done for the week, my eyes have continued to drift out to the street. College kids and their mothers taking care of "business" today, getting all their preparations in order for the weekend. Everyone is out and about, looking to buy something to ease their "pain". Look at their faces. People coming out of stores in better moods and with fuller bags. Fuck that. Feed me to the wolves.
But i haven't made any mistakes.. yet... today.
This song by Logan Lynn is pretty badass, while it has a very simple drum beat & synth, its got a lot more to it. This song is pretty deep, like the wounds youll experience when I feed you to my pack. Lynn is from Portland, where his grandmother was a vocal and piano instructor and taught the likes of Johnny Cash. His family has handed down their musical talents to Logan, who is currently on an extended break. Get back to business kid..

"i've never believed in God, but i believe in Picasso" -Euan Uglow
There is so much amazing talent out that has been recorded. The means to publish and distribute one's passion has become easier in today's age, and so too it has become easier to be an artist. I did not say that it is easy in today's day to make it as an artist, but it is much easier to be an artist. Whereas in the older days, a group or act had to impress one of the few important talent agency or labels enough to get signed, today a group can essentially start its own label, or produce a record on its own. It gives up some edge on its marketing, but the group can still get their message out to the people.
"But it's a voice that says, 'Here I am... and fuck you if you can't understand me.'" -Jeff Bebe in Almost Famous
Animal Collective out of Baltimore, Maryland lights the way for those who are currently confused about what they want out of life in their song, "My Girls". The Collective' ideals are raising a family, not necessarily in a house but some safe structure, and ceasing to worry about the meaningless possessions that society makes seem so important. The song is composed so peacefully and passionately that when you listen to it in the morning, you dont have much of an urge to turn on that shitty tv.
While the song is a just a tiny bit too slow for my tastes to get me up and going, I prefer the remix done by homie Hatchmatik. If you havent heard of this DJ his shit is hype and he's finally getting some respect. Here's a quote about him,
"“You’re in the middle of a shitty loft in montreal at a drugged up afterparty with wacky drunk francos trying to hit on trashy anglos with way too much attitude and there’s this redhead kid making miracles behind the turntables, he’s surrounded by hot half goth half 2 live crew bitches and he just shines, that’s Hatchmatik.” -Teki Latex
There isn't much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
With a little girl, and by my spouse
I only want a proper house
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in a precious wait
And to provide the man you ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave
I don't mean
To seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want
Four walls and adobe slabs
For my girls
