Over the top
It feels good to return to the center of the (Canadian) universe. The dark recesses of BC are darker than I remember them, but I guess you're kind of asking to see someone beaten senseless in a public place when you go on a Fruitvale (population <2000) pub crawl (of all two pubs, one of which is decorated with wagon wheels). Best of all, though, is that I'm just a few days closer to the Over the Top Festival Launch, starring three of my current favourite bands: Final Fantasy (w. string quartet!!), Akron/Family, and the Great Lake Swimmers. The show's happening on January 11, and if you're in Toronto I highly recommend getting tickets while there's still some left. Here's a few songs in case you're not yet convinced.
Final Fantasy - This is the dream of Win and Regine
Akron/Family - Dylan Pt. II
Great Lake Swimmers - Various Stages
Come over and say hi if you see me at the show. I'll be the pencil sketch caricature of a person wearing a hat.

hooked on the final fantasy at the moment
thought it was annoying and show offy at first,
but now I'm super into it! mebbe he'll come west?
i agree about the bad first ff impression. sometimes, it sounds so painfully earnest that it's on the verge of being horrible. luckily, though, it somehow manages to miraculously stay fully within the realm of awesomeness.
oh, i love final fantasy. i've heard rumors about him touring with Destroyer, which would be fantastic.
