right through the night

cha

one time

my first real girlfriend ever in highschool, her cousin ended up playing in one of my favourite bands ever. they only ever released one fullength, called "Five Roses", when i was 16. i hate nostalgia. but fack.



this actually got shortlisted for the polaris prize in '07. adam now plays in adam and the amethysts. and i dont think she ever really knew how rad that was for me. CHA CHA CHA

bullllllllll

i think "high fashion" is, for the most part, retarded.

but this, this here below (from the chanel show), is 100% class. 

fuck minimalism. go straight up bourg(ee)

on that note, im currently listening to Motorhead, fckyah.

rachels

my movement and intro to acting teacher Ingrid has unreal taste in music, she played this song during an improvisational viewpoints exercise. i lost it.



im writing an essay on greek tragedy right now, please stop me if i start acting like one of them, uh, actors.

AND WERE HAVIN A GOOD TIME

i said i was going to write about mtl, but i didnt, but it was fun. turns out i came back to school, its also been fun (theatre). im also still in single mothers, and its pretty sin.
i just turned twenty and want to shoot myself in the dick.
here are some photos and vid from the birthday party.

happy birthday to me.

oh yeah, im going to see SWANS this saturday in toronto, way too fukn xcited. also, before that show, im going to see this guy named jimmy webb at hughes room, who just so happened to have wrote the last book i read; about writing songs and stuff.

gah.

words or wisdom

my friend adam on fred perry clothing...

fp makes you think like "if i buy this kewl fred perry made in england polo shirt it will make me part of something bigger than myself" but clothes dont actually do that.


the whole truth and nothing but the truth. adam is the man.
oh yeah, i also just wrote a new song, finally fck. more on that later, and also im writing up my trip to montreal, but also also more on that later.


...still listening to jens, and a lot more john cage. 

i was just thinking

about how much ive been listening to Jens Lekman lately; ive been groovesharking his cover of Paul Simons "You can Call Me Al" daily and was going to mention him in, "currently listening..." but, apparently he has some new material on the way and here is a look at a new track. its been three years since the last record, stoked.

oh yeah, im going to MTL this weekend, more on that later . . .

this is not a fashion blog:

cept sometimes it is now

Mr. Hares summer line of carefully designed shoes are spotless and un-fucking real. i just had a conversation last week with my friend paterson about how men pay more considerable attention to detail. this is the pinnacle of almost little to no detail, cept not really. my favourite, the fela, are constructed of one piece of some exotic vachetta leather.

                                              

the world says: evan, go to school, get a good job

i says: have you heard the new arcade fire?

laying it down

So a friend of a friend of a friend hooked us up with a student at OIART here in London for some recording time. we had four hours, and got all the drums tracked for three songs. mat was on fire, he did the first song (and probably the most complicated) done in the first take. i believe that was a good omen, because i laid down all my bass tracks at the guys home studio later that night. just in time for the Black Mountain show at Call The Office. Probably one of the best days of my summer so far,

recording = tediousness + funny             recording = fun + beer = just fun

currently listening too . . . TALLEST MAN ON EARTH - probably one of the greatest young songwriters ive come across in a long time.
