As many of you know, I went to the Jenny Lewis concert last Thursday. I did managed to seek my camera in. However, by the time I got into the venue, the place was already packed and I did not feel like pushing my way to the front. As a result, I did not take any pictures… well, I tried to, but they all ended up looking extremely blurry. The concert itself was great! Although I think Millie liked it 10000000x more than I did. (Millie has become a lesbian during the concert as she is now in love with Jenny Lewis!) I thought Jenny was amazing - her voice was spectacular live! She also brought along with her the Watson Twins, which were so goddamn cute!!!! They coordinated every move, even when they reach for their water bottles, they were always synchronized! My only complaint is that she didn’t perform “Handle with Care”.
I have been listening to lots of Canadian music this past week, mostly Final Fantasy and Feist and oh, I finally started listening to the new BBS album!
Feist - Nothin' in This World Can Stop me Worrying 'Bout That Girl (live Kinks cover)
i love the ending of this one!!
Broken Social Scene - Almost Crimes (Acoustic)
Broken Social Scene - 7/4 (Shoreline) video feat. Feist!
***Lastly, there is now a link at the side for upcoming concerts (under 'notable posts')... I’ll be updating it periodically, so make sure you check it out and tell me if you want to go to any with me!

i can smell your catholic shame
What an exhausting weekend: St. Patrick’s Day and opera (yes, i went to an opera and it was pretty damn good!) on Friday, Tricia’s movie shoot and Tricia’s birthday party on Saturday... so, in other words, over consumption of liquor! And for some strange reason, I am starting to really like that Goldschlager shit too!!!
Damn, next weekend is going to be such a downer… I mean, the last two weekends were so great and fulfilling: I finally went to the Distillery last Saturday and clubbing twice this weekend. All I have planned for next weekend is two essays… goddmanit!
The weather is so fucking nice this weekend! I love the feeling of walking around downtown during a really bright sunny winter afternoon (just a little chilly), and once in a while, you get this really cold breeze in your face… that’s my ideal weather! This may sound crazy to most of you, but I don’t really want summer to come, I can’t stand that hot, sticky, uncomfortable heat, ew, just thinking about it gives me a headache! Anyways, I don’t really know what this post is about... I guess is an excuse for me to post another song for your enjoyment. So, here’s The Trills' The Irish Keep Gate-Crashing to end the St. Patrick’s Day/Tricia’s B-day weekend. Enjoy!

get in my car with both eyes closed, full pedal down, and i am speeding!
So, Patrick Wolf's Wind In The Wires is the perfect album to listen to during a dark, rainy, gloomy, windy winter day... especially if you have to do long walks in the freezing cold! On the other hand, Lycanthropy is an ideal listen for an absolutely gorgeous sunny day like today. I was driving home from school today and didn’t know what to put in my CD player (frankly, I’m so tied of goddamn Panic! At The Disco)... so, I popped in Lycanthropy, rolled down my window, and drove home in the best state possible!Actually, Patrick Wolf’s music is perfect for any occasion! When I die, I want my ashes to be blown into the ocean with ‘Wind In The Wires’ playing in the background!
Patrick Wolf, Live on XFM Session:
Wind In The Wires
The Gypsy King
Land's End
Ghost Song

A Jesse Update
So naturally, Jesse had trouble updating his blog again… really, what is so hard?? I mean, even Robin (the most computer/technological incompetent person) knows how to use blogger. Anyways, here’s what he wants me to post:
Oh, and he wants me to put the title: Jesse Wells: Alive and Well(s) ...so cheesy!
What’s up Canadians! I am not dead, despite rumours in the mill. I did suffer from a case of intensely severe diarrhea, but have been healed. I’m sure that excites you all very much. I have also survived my first few days of actual work! I believe that the anxiety about work is inextricably linked in the diarrhea fiasco, but nonetheless: i am alive! so, how are you all? I believe most of you have heard enough from me via telephone calls and/or messages sent to you from someone who talked to me. I miss you all. I would especially like to hear from my little brother Devon! Devon, where are you? I heard that not one really knows. For those that haven’t heard from me in a while, I went to a wicked hardcore Japanese punk band called either Guitar Wolf, or Wolf Guitar...look them up, you won’t be disappointed. They had the greaser look with slick back hair and leather jackets...very cool. I couldn’t understand much except for when they screamed out *Fuck You* and *Mujah Fuckah!!!* which was totally awesome. They had hand signs too, where you put your pinky and index in the air and join your thumbs with your other two fingers to make a wolf...and when you did this you had to howl...Owwwwwwwwww!!!. They also did the most horrible cover of born to be wild known to man, AND I was ninety percent deaf in my right ear for over a day! i was beginning to get worried but it finally faded out. I had a failed attempt at going to a cultural outing. it was a buddhist ceremony where they do a spiritual cleansing by lighting huge fires around the temples at night time...i showed up five minutes late after over an hour on the train! what a moron. I did get to see some deer though, they totally roam around and approach you without fear. they scared the shit out of me though because I kept thinking about that America’s funniest home video where the deer hunter gets mauled by Bamby....Always I’m out of time...oh just to tell you, I’ve taught some seven year olds, a junior high class and mainly adults; they’ve all been fine. i think I’ll survive the next twelve months...oh except i fell down a flight of stairs at the subway station a few days ago. but that’s another story.
Peace out playas.
love Jesse

BrokeBack on the Mountain
This is ridiculous!!! Christian t-shirt slams 'Brokeback Mountain'...
from CBS4 News:
A Florida-based Christian clothing company is courting controversy after satirizing the movie “Brokeback Mountain”, the film about gay cowboys in love.
The Second Coming Clothing Company has a new T-shirt alluding the film to sinners at the giving of the Ten Commandments.
The shirt features Moses, the Ten Commandments, and homosexuals joining ancient Israelites dancing around a Golden Calf idol with the slogan, "The Original 10 Commandments, BrokeBack on the Mountain."
It has a Bible reference to Exodus 32:19, which states "... he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount."
"In his anger, Moses BROKE the two tablets of stone that the Ten Commandments were written on while walking BACK down the MOUNTAIN".
"The message is the same now as it was at the time of Moses," said CEO Rick Wade, "that God's covenant is broken with His people, God's heart is broken for His people, and that judgment is coming prior to the return of the Lord, which is soon."
"Our faith in Jesus Christ needs to be taken out of our hearts and worn on the sleeves of our daily walk in life as we witness to others and take an affirmative stand in controversial issues before it is too late," said Wade.
