Presidential Pontification: August

If you want to know where you came from look into the eyes of your children. I hope all of my readers have that joy. My 5 year old told me yesterday one of his favorite bands is AC/DC. “Hells Bells”, I said – when it’s good it transcends age and time but where the hell does this come from? Some days I think he’s on the Highway to Hell. It’s just in the blood I guess. Speaking of highways, vespas, and ending starts, Metric have furthered the art/music/rock/poetry revolution. From a band that will make “Art Rock” the catch phrase of 2006 (your read it here first). Hear it here first. Death From Above 1979 recently completed 4 sold out shows at Toronto’s legendary Horseshoe Tavern and are preparing for another visit to UK/Europe for festival tour dates including a London date with Foo Fighters (at Dave Grohl’s personal request). Thank you for the hospitality Jeff and Craig. Tricky Woo’s album drops August 30. Keep your eyes open for Fall tour dates. From Fiction continue to work on artwork to be on level with the sonic landscapes sculpted on their new album. It’s a challenge but we can do it. They opened for DFA79 in Toronto and get better with age and every listen. Teaching the children well since 2003.

Inexplicably
Sad He
Felt Grateful
Suddenly
Not So
Inexplicably

Your President.
