So, instead of sleeping, I'm watching MuchNews Weekly. Who cares. I'm sitting here rotting my mind when I could be sleeping. Precious sleep. I don't care that Avril and Derek are getting married, or that Kevin left the Backstreet Boys. Actually, good for Kevin. He knows when the plane is going down and he doesn't want to die in the fiery crash. They're putting out another CD. How is that even possible? Did anyone buy their last CD?
Jets Overhead, eh? That was a quick little clip, but I liked the sound. Maybe I'll look them up. A big festival needs to come to Halifax. And the Rolling Stones don't count. I think that after the craziness of last summer's Moncton party, no one is going to care this year. Its only 1 year later! And at the end of it last year, people couldn't give away Stones tickets. So obviously everyone who wanted to see them, saw them. So no one is going to travel here for them this year. The only people who are going to see them this year in Halifax, are people from Halifax. Anyone else would be better. The Barenaked Ladies are going to Charlottetown. I like the Barenaked Ladies! They're pretty fun. I'd like it if they came here. Damn them and their hatred of Halifax. Or...maybe damn Halifax for pissing off the Barenaked Ladies. Either way, I can't go to Charlottetown to see them. No more road trips this summer. I can't afford it. I was just in Charlottetown. Enough fun for one summer.
Hmm...The Streets. I like British music. Maybe this was a productive MuchNews viewing.
So I'm trying to learn how to play Acoustic #3 by the Goo Goo Dolls on my guitar. It's kind of an old song that never got air play, but it's been stuck in my head lately. I don't know why. So I looked up the tabs. I really like it. There are 3 'rhythm figures' you just kinda play over and over. The first and third figures I have handled. Number 2 is causing me some trouble. And I can't sing along with it. Once I have all 3 figures down, I'll play it with the song and hopefully become a pro. That's the plan.
I'm not so into the screaming music. It stresses me out. Little too much for me. But if that's your thing, do it up.
Ok, so this is cool. There is a new award called the Polaris Prize. It's a prize for the best full length Canadian album. It's awarded based completely on artistic merit with no regard for air play or record sales. That is fantastic. Also cool is Going Coastal is covering Buck 65 getting the key to Mount Uniack. That's awesome. That's another former always-in-Halifax guy who isn't back all that often. Next time he's here, I'm going to see him. He's great.
And now it's midnight. Why am I still awake? I'm awake because I'm too lazy to get up and get ready for bed. Ok. I'm going. Right now.
Also, do you think it's possible to fall out of love as suddenly as hitting the floor if you fell out of bed? And, if you've never been in love before, how do you know when it's love you're falling out of?
