Torquil Campbell and Amy Milan have some new music to share.  Already bouncing around the intertron and available from their website is “The Theory of Relativity.”  Now I have another jam from Stars upcoming album The North.  “Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It” of… “Give It” for short.  Punch it.

Stars – “Give It”

I’ve been a Stars fan for many years now, so this song is an easy sell for me.  The album, The North comes out on September 4th. Stars will be supporting Metric when they hit the arena in November.


Hai Gurl, where you been at?  Cat Power took a few years off of making commercially available music but today Bossman Johnny forwarded this jam from NPR. Also due in September… Cat Power’s Sun features a song called “Ruin.”

Bitchin.

Yesterday at the Osheaga Music Festival Broadcast at Curious Comics… I spotted a comic called Ianto’s Tomb. a Dark Sun comic?  SWA? Had to have it…

It wasn’t the best graphic novel I ever read… it was confusing at times and if you are new to Dark Sun, it might seem weird or hard to follow.  But seeing as I try to read everything I can get my hands on that is dark Sun, my mind filled in the gaps and I enjoyed seeing someone draw out what a D&D adventure on Athas might look like.  I wish I could draw… it seems like a fun way to create a fantasy story.

“The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.” – Proverbs 22:7

Whoa, I watching the National last night when they did a segment on biblical scripture being used for financial planning.  Who could think I’d get inspiration from not only the Christian Church but also Americans for financial reform?

Its bloody hot out!  Its all anyone talks about on their twitter feeds, or facebook or on the radio.

Whenever it gets this hot out, I always remember listening to Big Wreck’s “That Song” as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid.  It was insanely hot that summer and the family stereo was in the living room of my parent’s place in Coquitlam, the hottest room of the house.  I put the song on repeat and just lay on the floor jamming it out.

Now to this day, the song reminds me of summer… but the lazy, hazy late afternoon summer days.  Hanging out at home, bored and waiting for something to happen, which is basically the best times as a teenager.

This hot weather reminds me how much I truly enjoy my scooter.  It is just plain fun tooling around on that thing in the summer time.

The one issue we’re having at the Casa La CorJ is sleep (oh and lack of sex, Coral won’t let me touch her in this heat!).

I read about some neat innovations and I think I want to MacGyver something up tonight.

One method calls for filling a pan or bucket with ice, then placing the bucket in front of the fan, like a poor man’s air conditioner… and if there is one thing I am, its a poor man!

The article had more than a couple tips so I am sure I’ll find something that works.

Go with yourself.
