- This deliciously tedious review by a classical harpist’s first encounter with Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath is the stuff of legend. There might not be a metaphor or even a simile for how badly I want to have cookies and tea with this lady while talking about the Enlightenment and the veritable, transcendental qualities of light on morning dew in May. I so dearly want to have a life where I can just do this. So she just had a stroll in her flower garden, thinking about the nature of time, and is ready to experience something quizzically and critically, letting it all sink in until ready to examine. My life is utter bullshit compared to hers. Her pacing, her concern and the drowning in intention makes my blood boil with jealousy. One would imagine that, oh duh, she’s a classical harpist, of course her life is magnificently slow and thoughtful, and I would otherwise agree if I didn’t know a classical harpist who’s one of the more pissed off people I’ve ever known. This woman owns it all with such power and glory. Sometimes, when I have the bravery to even think about this, I want to just sit down and cry.

- More digging into the southern Ontario punk scene dug up Single Mothers who are such good, angry at life, straight head punk rock, a bit like a rawer version of The Bronx.

- Volkswagen Transporter - I’m not a car guy at all, but lately, and likely a symptom of living in Central Europe, I’ve been noticing the clean, clear profile of the Volkswagen Transporter, the modern one that is. The old one looks like a spaceship which is of course rad, but the newer ones look like a rock you spent your childhood jumping from, solid in both memory and form, a profile as classic as it is dependable and square.
