Hall's Fruit Breezers. (Well, they are non-drowsy...) If the world were to end the day after tomorrow, what would you do with your last day on earth?

Yeah...I never really liked them to begin with and then I just kind of lost what little respect I had for them when the lead singer tried to convince me and my friend to enter an ammature strip competition after the Matt Good concert. hah fair enough... he might of been drunk and joking around... or he might be a total douche, i'm not sure Yeah, he was wasted. I wasn't really offended by it, I thought it was amusing more than anything. But anyways, I never really fell in love with their sound or anything. They just don't do it for me. -

I know! I thought they were at least related, but apparently not. -

I'm addicted to that show. It's so informative! Alan Cross is a genius...well, at least a really good researcher...or both. -

Can't Face Up - Sloan -
What are you listening to?

No Surprises - Radiohead -
I always thought that Sloan had quite clever lyrics. Their song "Autobiography" has some interesting plays on words: I'm writing "young and gifted" In my autobiography I figured, who would know Better than me I'm certainly the former But I'm not so much the latter But no one's gonna read it So I'm sure it doesn't matter When you find that you're the former Take pride in how you form And when you find that you're the ladder Don't let those people walk under you I'm writing "sharp and adult" With my finger on the steam On the mirror in my bathroom While I'm applying shaving cream Which would suggest that I'm the foamer But how can I be the lather And something tells me It's the opposite I'd rather When you find that you're the foamer Be careful what you foam When you find that you're the lather Don't shave too high, you'll regret it later La la la la I've stayed in school this long But still no one will tell me why They figured who would know Better than I I know I'm a conformer But I'm sure it doesn't matter My new friends are all adults And my old friends all have scattered When you find you're a conformer Take pride and swallow whole But if you're trying to climb the ladder Don't let people walk over you Because that's just what they'll do Don't let people walk over you Because that's just what they'll do As well, The Weakerthans' lyrics are simply pure poetry. As someone who lives in Winnipeg, I can completely relate to their song, "One Great City!": Late afternoon another day is nearly done A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground That hollow hurried sound of feet on polished floor And in the dollar store the clerk is closing up And counting loonies trying not to say I hate winnipeg The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late Crowded riders' restlessness enunciates The Guess Who suck, the Jets were lousy anyway The same mood every day And in the turning lane Someone's stalled again He's talking to himself And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase I hate winnipeg Up above us all, Leaning into sky Our golden business boy Will watch the north end die And sing 'I love this town' Then let his arching wrecking ball proclaim: "I...hate...winnipeg"

Tough call....well, vinyl has the best sound, mp3's are convenient cuz I can put them on my iPod and I do purchase a lot of CD's, so in a way, I have a use for all of them. Except cassettes. I have no use for them anymore. Do you ever watch Oprah?
